Introduction

This page is about a development board named "CZ miniSTM32F103ZE-EK" found on Aliexpress and making it work.

Flashing the bootloader

To make it easy to upload software over USB, I recommend you install the stm32duino bootloader.

You need the stm32flash utility and a bootloader file for use with PE2. Get them from the stm32duino page.

Steps to flash the bootloader:

  • wire a USB-serial converter to the board:
 serial GND -> board GND
 serial +5V -> board 5V
 serial RXD -> board A9
 serial TXD -> board A10
  • put jumper BOOT0 in position 1 (to 3.3V)
  • put jumper BOOT1 in position 0 (to GND)
  • reset or power-cycle the board
  • flash the bootloader using stm32flash:
 ./stm32flash -w ../../../../STM32duino-bootloader/binaries/generic_boot20_pe2.bin -v -g 0x0 /dev/ttyUSB0
  • power down the board, put BOOT0 jumper back in position 0 (to GND)

If you now reset the board (e.g. press the reset button), you should be able to see the green LED flash. You can now upload programs using the 'dfu' method.
