I don't understand why you would include it on your BOM. You should only need to add a Cortex debug connector to your BOM, for connecting the ST-Link to the board. In your USB-UART design, would you be putting the FTDI chip and a USB connector on your board? Doesn't that result in a larger BOM? | |

Also, a genuine ST-Link is only about 20 USD or 20 EUR. Because it allows you to debug over JTAG and SWD, it is well worth having one when developing the firmware. | |
