Problem downloading on STM32F103C8T6(bluepill) + STM32duino-bootloader + mbed framework ower microusb port and dfu protocol

1

There was a problem loading the project onto the STM32F103C8T6 (bluepill) board. The STM32duino-bootloader bootloader is uploaded to it.
Used by VSCode + PlatformIO. The firmware is loading through the microUsb of the board itself.

When creating a LED flashing project using the arduino framework, everything is loading and works.

Where is the mistake? How to upload a project to the board?

You can upload firmware using STLINK

Yes, I’m sure this option will work. But I would like to try directly, without stlink.
After all, for arduino-framervork it works.

Doesn’t mbed-os bring its own bootloader? That’s what I read from Creating and using a bootloader - Tutorials | Mbed OS 5 Documentation.

When building for mbed-os, it probably doesn’t handle the modified application start address in flash, so you’re overwriting your USB bootloader after the first upload. If that’s the case the USB bootloader device “STM32duino bootloader v1.0” shouldn’t appear in the device manager anymore. Is that the case?

Did you get mbed-os + stm32 duino bootloader working outside of PlatformIO?

The project assembled from the future has not yet been loaded, so I can’t say whether it overwrites the STM32duino bootloader or not.
Outside the platform, I did not try the bundle of STM32duino bootloader + mbed-os. Perhaps they are not compatible?
