Notice

To ensure successful STM32 flashing, please note the following:

The USB port on some computers may cause unstable flashing due to driver or signal compatibility issues. It is recommended to try a different USB port for connection.
If changing ports does not work, an effective solution is to connect via an external USB hub, which often improves compatibility.
When the flashing software reports the error shown below, please also prioritize trying a USB hub. If the issue persists, check or use the host computer for flashing.
