Can you please post a link to this? I could not find it.

I see they do now have an HID Bootloader: WeAct_HID_Bootloader_F4x1 base on STM32_HID_Bootloader

The actual .hex file is here: https://github.com/WeActTC/MiniF4-STM32 ... Bootloader

I am still awaiting my F411 boards so I can not currently do any tests

Their (WeAct) bootloaders do not work with Arduino and stm core.
HID bootloader upload searches for device 1209:BEBA and WeAct set their to 0483:572a

You need to use their uploader sofware called WeAct_HID_Flash-CLI, to be downloaded from https://github.com/WeActTC/MiniF4-STM32 ... Bootloader

Does it work with Arduino IDE ??

Yes but you need to modify some Arduino IDE boards files to add the WeAct uploader software in the IDE menu

A work around is to compile the sketch e create the shetck.bin file e then upload it in a console using: under linux or under Windows


Some my notes https://hardwareliberopinerolo.github.i ... blackpill/

I see that this post is quite old, but I would like to know if any progress was made for BlackPill STM32F401
From bootloaders I tried I didn't find any usb HID bootloader except WeAct_HID_Bootloader that would work with this board.
Maybe someone has different solutions, tired to press button every time want to flash )

you can search in the reference manual, look for registers that can possibly set a 'soft boot0', i.e. it starts the internal DFU bootloader at the next reset.
then it is simply set that register in your code and do a HAL_NVIC_SystemReset()

alternative, get a st-link v2 dongle
https://www.adafruit.com/product/2548
https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/st-link-v2.html

that doesn't need boot0 after it is wired up

First option tried before working but still needs DFU Drivers, HID is much nicer. also used stlink but every project need to solder 4 pins for it and use wires. USB HID is much more practivcal I think and saves lot of time.

Hi,

I'm working to get my black pill to its normal state. Out of the box I was able to program it with Arduino IDE. But I know my mistake, when using STM32CubeProgrammer, I select erase entire flash memory.

As the original bootloader was at 0x08000000, and I should program it at 0x08004000.

My question is where to get the bootloader that came with the board ? isn't there any official or standard bootloader ?

Hi guys I really don't know what to do ? there's no direct solution for setting the standard binary for any specific board.

Like now, I'm searching for the black pill bootloader from WeAct, I check the seller product page in Aliexpress, and there's information but it's either not direct or not working.

It's asking me to download a Chinese program in order to download files and I don't know what mess following that ??! Why the seller not just put the binary file and problem solved ?

I want to re-install the proprietary bootloader came with the board.

I can program the board with the ST Link in STM32CubeProgrammer. But I want to get the board to work with Arduino IDE.
