How to Upgrade STLink Firmware on Apple M1 Machine

STLink Upgrade software is written in Java. As of the date this gist was initially written, it did not seem to work with Java natively installed on Apple M1. It requires x86_64 architecture execution under Rosetta.

This guide is about installing Java OpenJDK 17 support via Homebrew x86_64, on Apple M1 machine, in order to be able to run STLinkUpgrade.jar software by ST Microelectronics.

STLink Upgrade software package can be obtained from:

Install Homebrew for x86_64 Architecture

It is similar to installing Homebrew natively, with added arch --x86_64 prefix before the command line:

Issue Description

Rosetta, the x86_64 emulation layer on Apple Silcon doesn't seem to support an instruction the latest gcc-arm-embedded (11.x) needs. As the workaround, we install the previous known good version (10.3).

Workaround

On terminal, execute the following to install the last known good version (10.3):

$ brew tap --force homebrew/cask

	import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
	import pandas as pd
	import numpy as np
	import subprocess
	import re

	all_colors = ['tab:blue', 'tab:orange', 'tab:green', 'tab:red', 'tab:purple', 'tab:brown', 'tab:pink', 'tab:gray', 'tab:olive', 'tab:cyan']
	plt.style.use('dark_background')

	while True:

	import os
	import shlex
	import subprocess

	# Redirect stderr and stdout of a subprocess to the python ones

	def exec_cmd_with_output(cmd):
	stdoutlines = []
	a_process = subprocess.Popen(shlex.split(cmd), stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)
	for line in a_process.stdout:

	import glob
	import time
	import serial
	import serial.threaded
	import threading
	import queue

	# find alternative to define queue in user space, not here please
	ATResponse = queue.Queue()

	#!/bin/bash

	for sysdevpath in $(find /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb*/ -name dev); do
	(

	devname="$(udevadm info -q name -p $syspath)"
	[[ "$devname" == "bus/"* ]] && exit
	eval "$(udevadm info -q property --export -p $syspath)"
	[[ -z "$ID_SERIAL" ]] && exit
	echo "/dev/$devname - $ID_SERIAL"

	#!/bin/bash

	set -e
