ACTIVE (RED) Indicates the operational state of the CODEGRIP module: when
CODEGRIP module is in the bootloader mode, this indicator will blink. Normal operation
of the CODEGRIP module is indicated by the ACTIVE LED being constantly turned ON
DATA (BLUE) Indicates that there is a data transfer ongoing between the MCU and the
CODEGRIP module
The onboard CODEGRIP module (1) requires no additional drivers, as it utilizes a
HID driver model, which is natively supported by the computer OS. This makes its
installation very easy and straightforward in the case when the USB cable is used.
As soon as the USB cable is connected to the host PC, the CODEGRIP module is
enumerated and the development board is ready to be used.
CODEGRIP module is supported by CODEGRIP Suite. Detailed explanation on how to
configure and use the CODEGRIP module on the Fusion for STM32 v8 development
board, can be found in the CODEGRIP manual, and can be downloaded on the following

DBG selection
The Fusion for STM32 v8 development board is equipped with the standard 2x5-
pin JTAG/SWD connector (2) with the 0.05" (1.27mm) pitch, allowing an external
programmer/debugger to be connected. If an external programmer/debugger is
connected, the onboard CODEGRIP module should be disabled to avoid data corruption.
A DIP switch labeled as SW2, located next to the 2x5 JTAG/SWD connector, allows the
user to select a programmer/debugger that will be used for the MCU programming:
EXTERNAL (up): an external programmer/debugger is connected, the onboard
CODEGRIP module is disabled
ONBOARD (down): an external programmer is not connected, the
onboard CODEGRIP module is enabled
