STM32_F4VE - dfu-util: No DFU capable USB device available (additional hwid for this board)

[alandpearson]

Hello,

I have a STM32_F4VE dev board and platformIO refuses to flash using DFU giving the dreaded

dfu-util: No DFU capable USB device available

The issue in this case turned out to be this board has the following HWIDS: "0x0483", "0xdf11"

Could these IDs be added to the genericSTM32F407VET6.json board description please ?

using the following platformio.ini entry :

[env:black_f407ve]
platform = ststm32
framework = stm32cube
board = black_f407ve
build_flags = -DF4
upload_protocol = dfu

in the example stm32cube-hal-blink works just fine here (on a chinese clone of the F4VE board); just had to change the definition of LED in the main.c to match the board.

stm32cube-hal-blink  pio run -e black_f407ve -t upload

Only the first pair of HWIDs is used generating DFU image. The default HWID values can be overridden via an extra script as described here https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/scripting/examples/override_board_configuration.html
