About:
STLink is a suite of open-source tools for programming and debugging STM32 microcontrollers, specifically the STM32 Discovery and Nucleo boards. It provides a command-line interface and GUI utilities to flash firmware, interact with the GDB server, and access the SWIM and SWD interfaces. This tool is essential for embedded developers working with STMicroelectronics hardware on Linux systems.

Key Features:

Flash programming and memory manipulation
GDB server for remote debugging
ST-Link/V1, V2, and V3 hardware support
Command-line interface and GUI utilities

Use Cases:

Flashing firmware onto STM32 Discovery and Nucleo boards
Debugging embedded applications using GDB
Reading and writing to microcontroller memory

Alternatives:

OpenOCD – More generic, supports many more hardware targets, but can be more complex to configure for ST-Link.
STM32CubeProgrammer – Official STMicroelectronics GUI tool, but it is closed-source and lacks a native Linux command-line interface.
