  • [SOLVED] Using the J-Link VCOM Functionality With an On-Board Debugger

    I have converted the on-board ST-Link on my STM32F4 board into a J-Link and wanted to use the VCOM functionality. I followed the instructions here:

    Using J-Link VCOM functionality - SEGGER Wiki

    And seem to have successfully enabled the VCOM as the J-Link port pops up in my Device Manager's list of Ports, and I can connect to it through Tera Term

    What I am unsure of still is how exactly to interface with the on-board's VCOM. The page doesn't list a specific UART I should be using (if there is one) and obviously, unlike the external debugger, there's no pins to interface with. How can I forward bytes to and receive bytes from the on-board VCOM?
  • Hi,

    The manual of the STM32F4 eval board should specify to which UART pins of the STM32F4 the on-board ST-LINK is connected.
