This is free and opensource software distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License, either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

For years, it was the only program that's able to communicate through the SWIM interface of ST-LINKs under Linux.

Since 2018, OpenOCD also offers the basic functionality, and also has support for on-target debugging. As of early 2018, stm8flash has wider device support, and better support for memory read/write operations.
