133
134 ~1. Double check if follow up exactly the steps as manual.
135
136 2. Check if hardware works fine:
137
138 * check if AT command works, in both TX/RX
139 * check if the device are in upgrade mode, see product manual for upgrade mode indicator.
140 * check if reset button works
141
142 3. If you use Windows10 system. Please change the flash loader to run in Windows7 compatibility mode.
143
144 4. We see a case the FT232 USB TTL adapter has reliability issue with the PC USB chipset(Intel). In this case, even above, it still has serious reliability issue for uploading. If this happen, change a PC or change a USB to TTL adapter will solve.

280
281 1. There are different version ST-Link v2. The white one as below is the most stable and recommended one.
282
283 1. The white version ST-Link v2 such as below photo has different hardware version. The original one doesn't have 3.3v on pin 1/2 and the clone one has 3.3v on pin 1/2. User has to short pin19 (VDD 3.3v) and pin 1/2 (TVCC) for the original one so pin 1/2 has 3.3v power. Otherwise, the original one might have problem to upload firmware to End Node.
