I compiled stm32flash[1] under FreeBSD 8.4-STABLE:
tingo@kg-core1$ uname -a
FreeBSD kg-core1.kg4.no 8.4-STABLE FreeBSD 8.4-STABLE #0 r253646: Thu Jul 25 10:12:31 UTC 2013
     root@kg-core1.kg4.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

The resulting binary appears to work:
tingo@kg-core1$ ./stm32flash
stm32flash - http://stm32flash.googlecode.com/

ERROR: Device not specified
Usage: ./stm32flash [-bvngfhc] [-[rw] filename] /dev/ttyS0
    -b rate        Baud rate (default 57600)
    -r filename    Read flash to file
    -w filename    Write flash to file
    -u        Disable the flash write-protection
    -e n        Only erase n pages before writing the flash
    -v        Verify writes
    -n count    Retry failed writes up to count times (default 10)
    -g address    Start execution at specified address (0 = flash start)
    -f        Force binary parser
    -h        Show this help
    -c        Resume the connection (don't send initial INIT)
            *Baud rate must be kept the same as the first init*
            This is useful if the reset fails

I have an STM32 board connected to cuaU0/ttyU0:
tingo@kg-core1$ ls -l /dev/cuaU* /dev/ttyU*
crw-rw----  1 uucp  operator    0, 159 Aug 18 17:26 /dev/cuaU0
crw-rw----  1 uucp  operator    0, 160 Aug 18 17:26 /dev/cuaU0.init
crw-rw----  1 uucp  operator    0, 161 Aug 18 17:26 /dev/cuaU0.lock
crw-rw----  1 root  operator    0, 156 Aug 18 17:26 /dev/ttyU0
crw-rw----  1 root  operator    0, 157 Aug 18 17:26 /dev/ttyU0.init
crw-rw----  1 root  operator    0, 158 Aug 18 17:26 /dev/ttyU0.lock

and my user has access:
tingo@kg-core1$ id
uid=1001(tingo) gid=1001(users) groups=1001(users),0(wheel),5(operator)

Still it doesn't work:
tingo@kg-core1$ ./stm32flash /dev/cuaU0
stm32flash - http://stm32flash.googlecode.com/

/dev/cuaU0: No such file or directory
tingo@kg-core1$ ./stm32flash /dev/ttyU0
stm32flash - http://stm32flash.googlecode.com/

/dev/ttyU0: No such file or directory

t doesn't work as root either, so it doesn't look like a permissions problem.

BTW, stm32flash with the same board and cable works nicely under Linux. Any hints on what could be wrong?
