Starter kit for STMicroelectronics' ST7 family

5 November 2003 Design Automation

The inDART-ST72C/SK In-Circuit Debugger from Ceibo is a powerful entry-level tool for STMicroelectronics' ST7C-based systems. This debugger takes advantage of the STVD7 (STMicroelectronics Visual Debug) Integrated Development Environment and the ISP (In System Programming) feature to program the flash memory of the ST7C family of microcontrollers.

Together with STVD7, the inDART-ST72C/SK Series In-Circuit Debugger provides one with everything needed to write, compile, download, in-circuit emulate and debug user code. Full-speed program execution allows developers to perform hardware and software testing in realtime. The debugger is connected to the host PC through a parallel port, while the 10-pin probe of the debuggers fit into the target's standard ISP connector.

STVD7 enables programs to be executed and stopped where desired, while viewing the memory contents. It offers the ability to step through and examine code at the C source level and the Assembly instruction level. Developers can introduce breakpoints and run or single-step the executable, while viewing the source and observing current program values. All registers and memory locations are accessible for both read and write operations.

The optional IPL-ST7 Programming Library is a DLL which includes all of the low-level functions that allow users to set up the instrument and perform, from within their own Windows application, most of the programming commands and functions of the DataBlaze user interface. The IPL-ST7 Programming Library contains C written routines, and can be used to interface the instrument from within, for example, a Microsoft Visual C or Visual Basic application, as well as any other programming language that supports the DLL mechanism.

The IPL-ST7 Programming Library can be purchased both as an accessory to every instrument of the inDART-ST7 series and inDART-STX for ST7 series, or separately. Full documentation and examples are included.
