Introduction

Crypto Stick is a USB 32-bit computer with STM32F103 processor and an OpenPGP smart card. It has a minimalistic design, the MCU is running at 72MHz, and it has a SWD port for main flash ROM update.

This is Crypto Stick v1 PCB design for KiCAD, based on Niibe Yutaka's Flying Stone Tiny 01 (FST-01).

Flashing

This hardware can be flashed in two different ways:

• SWD protocol requires a separate programmer such as the ST-Link V2 (or cheaper clones). The SWD port or the Nitrokey PCB are the four blank contact points. You can either solder four wires or build your own adapter (see directory cs_pogo_adapter).

• A bit easier would be to use DFU. It requires a serial/TTL port (perhaps you need a serial/TTL-USB adapter) and a simple adapter. The DFU port is routed to the USB plug. Your adapter should consist of a USB socket which four pins are connected to your serial/TTL connector. The pinout is as follows.

Nitrokey USB Plug <-> Serial/TTL adapter

Pin 1, VCC <-> VCC Pin 2, D- <-> TX Pin 3, D+ <-> RX Pin 4, GND <-> GND

This diagram represents the pinout of the USB socket which you are going to solder:

To flash the firmware you need to bridge the two contact holes (e.g. with a wire) and only then connect (and power) the PCB to your adapter. The bridge triggers the hardware to boot into DFU mode. You may use STM32 Flash Loader Demonstrator (Windows only) or the open source command line tool stm32flash.
