The dapboot project is an open-source USB Device Firmware Upgrade (DFU) bootloader for STM32 devices.
Currently, the only targets officially supported are the STM32F103x series.
The default target is a generic STM32F103 dev board with an LED on PC13, commonly referred to as a "bluepill" board.
To build other targets, you can override the
TARGET variable when invoking make.
make clean
make TARGET=STLINK

The make flash target will use openocd to upload the bootloader to an attached board. By default, the Makefile assumes you're using a CMSIS-DAP based probe, but you can override this by overriding OOCD_INTERFACE variable. For example:
make OOCD_INTERFACE=interface/stlink-v2.cfg flash
Local makefile settings can be set by creating a local.mk, which is automatically included.
Here is an example local.mk that changes the default target to the STLink/v2 and uses an unmodified STLink/v2 to flash it.
TARGET ?= STLINK
OOCD_INTERFACE ?= interface/stlink-v2.cfg
For regular dapboot builds, the bootloader occupies the lower 8KiB of flash, so your application must offset its flash contents by 8KiB. This can be done by modifying your linker script or flags as appropriate.
For the experimental bootloader on this branch, the bootloader occupies the upper 8KiB of flash, so the application does not need to be offset.
The bootloader can be built to look for arbitrary patterns, but the default for the STM32F103 target looks for a magic value stored in the RTC backup registers. Writing the magic value and then resetting will run the bootloader instead of the main application.
The bootloader currently looks for 0x544F in RTC backup register 1 and 0x4F42 in RTC backup register 0 (together they spell "BOOT" in ASCII).
The USB VID/PID pair (1209/DB42) is allocated through the pid.codes open-source USB PID program.
