Hardware layout and configuration
2.1.2
ST-LINK/V2-1 firmware upgrade
For its own operation, ST-LINK/V2-1 employs a dedicated MCU with Flash memory. Its
firmware determines ST-LINK/V2-1 functionality and performance. The firmware may evolve
during the life span of STM32L476G-EVAL to include new functionality, fix bugs or support
new target microcontroller families. It is therefore recommended to keep ST-LINK/V2-1
firmware up to date. The latest version is available from www.st.com.
2.2
ETM Trace
The connector CN12 can output trace signals used for debug. By default, the evaluation
board is configured such that, STM32L476ZGT6 signals PE2 through PE5 are not
connected to trace outputs Trace_D0, Trace_D1, Trace_D2, Trace_D3 and Trace_CK of
CN12. They are used for other functions.
Table 1
shows the setting of configuration elements to shunt PE2, PE3, PE4 and PE5 MCU
ports to CN12 connector, to use them as debug trace signals.

Warning: Enabling the CN12 trace outputs through hardware modifications described in
Table 1
results in reducing the memory address bus width to 19 address lines and so the
addressable space to 512 Kwords of 16 bits. As a consequence, the on-board SRAM and
NOR Flash memory usable capacity is reduced to 8 Mbits.
