With the Coronavirus shutdown we need to move our teaching labs to remote access. We would like to connect ST-Micro discovery boards to Keil using Windows Remote Desktop - but we can't figure out how to make the ST-Link USB port work remotely. We can see the ST-Micro discovery board as a USB mass storage device - but no virtual serial or USB ports.
Has anyone tried this and gotten it to work?
Did you manage to get this working, or did you take a different approach? I’m thinking of doing the same for my development needs.
We never did. It has nothing to do with Keil or the ST-Micro drivers - it has to do with USB configuration on the host machines.We have each student running Keil at home with a Discovery board. For some classes they buy them, for others we lend. For students running a Mac, we have educational developer agreements that get them free access to VM-Ware and Windows 10 for a virtual Windows environment.
For 99% of what we do the demo version of Keil is fine. If they need a full license they can VPN to campus and our license server (Flex-LM) will provide a license to their home machine.
It is a lot of work to support 50 different installs - they skip steps by mistake. Also, if parts break at home that is difficult to deal with. But at least all my students can still breath without a ventilator.
I'm happy to share my "install guides" if anyone wants them.
