RBLink Introduction

Descriptions

The RBLink is provided by RedBear, particularly designed for debugging and programming the RedBear Duo development board. With the RBLink you can easily attach modules from the Seeed’s Grove System to your project. No need to pull out your soldering iron -- just attach your sensors and actuators with jumper wires to the RBLink and you’re ready to go.

The RBLink is completely compatible with the ST-Link/v2 adapter provided by STMicroelectronics, so the drivers (for Windows) and softwares for the ST-Link/v2 are also applicable to RBLink, e.g the ST-LINK Utility.

For Windows users, you have to install the driver for RBLink, please follow the Windows Driver Installation Guide to install the driver.

To get started with the ST-LINK Utility, please read the Software User Manual.

To deploy firmware for the RedBear Duo, please refer to the Firmware Deployment Guide.

You can use the RBLink with OpenOCD to debug and program the RedBear Duo. We've provided a board script for quick accessing the Duo.

Features

  • Running the ST-Link/V2 firmware
  • USB-based JTAG debugger/programmer
  • Two JTAG activity LEDs
  • Apple MFi authentication coprocessor support (**MFi license is required)
  • USB MSD interface – enabling programming the Duo by drag and drop of firmware file
  • USB CDC Virtual Serial Port
