Hi,

Which ST device do you have? What sort of board? Are you able to get it into DFU mode with the BOOT0 pin?

Your best bet is to use dfu-util (see https://www.hanselman.com/blog/HowToFix ... ndows.aspx if you're using Windows), or the official ST tools.

Otherwise you can use pydfu.py which is part of hte MicroPython repo. https://github.com/micropython/micropyt ... s/pydfu.py

When the device is in DFU mode,

Code: Select all

dfu-util --list
shows the serial number at the end of each memory region:

Code: Select all

$ dfu-util --list
dfu-util 0.9

With the following change to micropython/tools/pydfu.py running pydfu.py --list will show the serial number:

Code: Select all

diff --git a/tools/pydfu.py b/tools/pydfu.py
index 658ce59ae..7236f838c 100755
--- a/tools/pydfu.py

         print("No DFU capable devices found")
         return
     for device in devices:

+        print("Bus {} Device {:03d}: ID {:04x}:{:04x} Serial {}"
               .format(device.bus, device.address,

If it's coming up with no DFU devices detected, then your device isn't in DFU mode (or you have a bad USB cable). You need to connect BOOT0 needs to be high, and BOOT1 needs to be low, then RESET. That should put your device in DFU mode.

What board are you using?

Are you on Linux? does `dmesg` show anything when you connect the device?

Does `sudo dfu-util --list` help? If so you might need to check your udev rules.
