STM32 Programming and OPP Configuration
The firmware on the STM32 board exists in two parts: the base application and the OPP configuration. As delivered, the boards should be programmed and configured appropriately. But if you need to updated something or replace a processor board, this section is for you. The base application must be programmed with a separate programming device while the OPP configuration can be changed over USB via Python scripts.
