Information in this knowledgebase article applies to:

• MDK-ARM Version 4.14 and older

SYMPTOM

When using the ST-LINK driver for downloading and debugging an STM32 Discovery board, the Load and Erase controls in µVision don't appear to do anything.

CAUSE

The ST-LINK driver from STMicroelectronics does not support separate Load and Erase functions.
