In case you connected the pins and you get connection errors, make sure your ST-Link dongle pins are real, by sliding the plastic cover and checking on the ST-Link board itself. An example can be seen [here](https://youtu.be/XWh8yJ_p0HA?t=60).
If you have never flashed your board before, the MCU is probably locked.
