I've seen a lot of discussion on this but ... isn't there an app that lets you use the ULINK Pro as just a programmer? Using uVision seems kind of clunky and I'm not that thrilled about using the command line either.
The ST-LINK utility is very nice but it is not meant for the ULINK. My only other thought is that the STM32 Discovery boards are designed to have the JTAG path broken and instead have the JTAG rerouted off the board. I may do that.
Anyway, does anyone have a ULINK programming app?
Thanks.

Not that I'm aware of, you can use the ULINK's to program arbitrary ELF (AXD) files by dumping them in the current project output directory, and using the flash menu to write them.
The STM32 Discovery boards are designed to let you export a SWD interface using the SWCLK, SWDIO, SWO, NRST, GND, and offer specific jumper pairs to disconnect SWCLK/SWDIO from the micro normally being programmed. There are often other solder bridges to break NRST, or make SWO (for SWV Viewer)
Stand-alone ST-LINK devices are very cheap (especially boot-leg ones on eBay), as are converters from the standard 20-pin ARM JTAG to 10-pin SWD connectors.
ST-LINK's are limited to ST parts, ULINK's are limited to Keil, JLINK's are significantly more generic and supported by most any credible development/debug platform.
Right, your description of exporting the JTAG interface is exactly what I meant. Initially I actualy thought the jumpers and solder bridges were meant to let you go the other way, i.e. you could program the target procesor on the Discovery boards from a ULINK (for example). Using the Discovery boards as a programmer and debugger is actually very powerful and I think I can say ... cheap. The Discovery boards are only $20. I'm beginning to wonder why we bought the ULINKs at all. They were over $1000.
