Upgrade process

Copy specter_upgrade_v1.7.0.bin to the SD card and insert it into the device. The bootloader will check the signatures of the upgrade file and update firmware.

Flashing on empty board

If your discovery board is empty or you have very old firmware (below 1.4.0) - connect your board over miniUSB with power jumper set to STLK and copy-paste initial_firmware_v1.7.0.bin file to the mounted drive.

If you have problems flashing initial firmware consider using stlink-tools. A command to flash firmware:

st-flash write path/to/initial_firmware.bin 0x8000000

If you want to use self-signed bootloader and firmware check out the instructions in the bootloader repo

sha256.signed.txt file contains sha256 hashes of the firmware binary files and signed with @stepansnigirev's GPG key.
