Important Notice

To ensure successful STM32 programming, please pay attention to the following:

Some computer USB ports may experience unstable programming due to driver or signal compatibility issues. It is recommended to try connecting to a different USB port.
If changing ports does not help, an effective solution is to connect via an external USB hub, which often improves compatibility.
When the programming software reports the error message shown below, also try using a hub first. If the issue persists, please check or use the host computer for programming.
