🔧 Programmer/Debugger for STM8/STM32, Compatible with ST-LINK/V2 mini – Waveshare 10053

📌 Product Description

The Waveshare 10053 ST-LINK/V2 (mini) is a compact and cost-effective in-circuit programmer/debugger designed for STM8 and STM32 microcontrollers. It is implemented as a small single-board solution intended for development, debugging, firmware downloading, and target-board diagnostics in embedded applications.

This device supports STM8 devices via the SWIM interface and STM32 devices via the SWD interface, making it suitable for a broad range of embedded design tasks. Thanks to its direct USB connection to a PC and compatibility with widely used development tools, it can be integrated easily into common firmware development workflows.

In addition to programming capability, the unit supports real debugging functions such as full-speed execution, single-step operation, breakpoints, and variable/register monitoring. This makes it useful not only for firmware downloading, but also for troubleshooting and code verification on real hardware.
