In-circuit debugging features

The EMU3 series emulators and the STVD7 integrated development environment also allow

you to in-circuit debug your application as it runs on an ST7 with debug modules.

ICD features include:

In-circuit programming features

The EMU3 series emulators along with STVP7, or STVD7 software, allow you to in-circuit

program and in-circuit debug ST7 devices with Flash memory. Refer to the

ST7-EMU3 User

connector on your application board.

address range or at one of two addresses

– Break on data value at an address

– Break on opcode fetch (within/

outside of address range

– Break on sequential opcode fetch's

– Break on opcode fetch, or data

access at specified addresses

– Break on conditional stack write, or

Figure 1: System configurations

ST Micro Connect – provides the

communication interface with host

PC via parallel, USB or Ethernet

connection in both the Emulation

and ICC configurations.

EMU3 Probe – contains the

system’s emulation boards including

the Target Emulation Board (TEB),

which allows emulation of a specific

ST7 or sub-family of ST7 devices. It

connects to the application board

via furnished, package-specific

adapters and sockets.

ICC Add-on – allows the

communication between the host

PC and the ST7 microcontroller with

Flash memory on the application

board for in-circuit debugging and

in-circuit programming. This

requires installation of a 10-pin, ICC

connector on the application board.
