Entering Flash Mode
The left is the RST button, and the right is the BOOT button.
- There are two methods to enter flash mode.
- Method 1: With the toolboard completely powered off, hold the BOOT button, then connect one end of a data-transfer-capable Type-C cable to the motherboard and the other end to your device.

To ensure successful STM32 flashing, please note the following:
- The USB port on some computers may cause unstable flashing due to driver or signal compatibility issues. It is recommended to try a different USB port for connection.
- If changing ports does not work, an effective solution is to connect via an external USB hub, which often improves compatibility.
- When the flashing software reports the error shown below, please also prioritize trying a USB hub. If the issue persists, check or use the host computer for flashing.
