Overview
STM32F042-board is an open-source printed circuit board by jedp, from the jedp/STM32F042-board repository on GitHub. It is a 4-layer board of 48.8 × 35.1 mm with 35 parts on 32 nets, routed with 331 tracks and 55 vias.
It is built around the USBLC6-2SC6 and BK0603HS330-T. Its parts include 11 capacitors, 5 resistors, 4 connectors, 3 ICs and 1 diode. It belongs with the STM32 boards of this library.

Dev board for the STM32F042.
Programming
I'm using the ST-Link on an ST Discovery board to program this.
These ST Header CN2 Pins should be connected to the corresponding pins on this dev board:
- Don't connect
- CLK
- GND
- DIO
- NRST
Leave pin 1 (target 3V3) unconnected. It seems to do no harm, but it won't work if connected.
