that is the smaller device.

http://openocd.org/doc-release/README

"transport select jtag"

i don't

on the irc logs.  if you were on the irc channel you would have seen the
discussion of the past week.

of course.  we are getting the simulator into shape so that the hardware will
respond in the same way.

why are you only just now telling us this?  wr are months behind and you are
only just noe asking for help? i don't understand

well the most immediate one is that by lraving it several weeks before asking
for help it means that you've spent several weeks being ineffective.  sorry if
that insight shocks you, it is what it is.

you do not have to do everything alone, without help, guidance or other people
to provide insights, in order to "prove something".

the larger stlinkv2 says "JTAG" on the box.  therefore there is a way.  we need
to find it.

somewhere online there *will* exist reports on how it is done.

if there was a known working JTAG device around the stlonkv2 could be tested
against it.
