Thanks! I didn't find this one when I was seraching for the anwser. But it helped. I did everything else except select a programming algorithm (the last screenshot on that link). I've never even noticed that thing. It is working now!

Ensure that after you switch to the ST-link as the debugger, you go into settings and change the 'Port' from the default of 'JTAG' to 'SW'. You might also want to check the 'reset and run' box under the flash download tab to avoid power-cycling the device when you want to test the newly flashed code.

The ST-link is my standard debug interface and I've been through all the pains with it, so feel free to ask if you are still experiencing issues.

awneil, you are incorrect in this fact I'm afraid. The ST-link provides a pretty standard ARM SW debugging interface. I use the ST-link regularly with Keil to program my nRF51 projects.

Hi @r00li, did you check this post? devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../ I also have a nonNordic board and i'm able to flash the chip with both OpenOCD and Keil using the STLink-v2 of a Discovery board.

I wouldn't bank on that.

It is. But... it uses a standard ARM SWD connection. And it works using OpenOCD. There should be no reason for it not working with Keil. At least I don't see one.

ST-Link is a proprietary device for ST's STM8 and STM32 microcontrollers (the clue is in the name).

It is not for use with other manufacturer's devices.
