STM8 development tools

8.2.3

In-circuit programming and debugging

In the in-circuit debugging/programming configuration, STice allows the application to be

programmed in the microcontroller and for the application to be debugged while it runs on

the microcontroller on the application board. STice supports the SWIM protocol, making it

possible to in-circuit program and debug the microcontroller using only one general purpose

I/O.

In both the emulation and the in-circuit programming/debugging configuration, STice is

driven by the ST Visual Develop (STVD) or ST Visual Programmer (STVP) integrated

development environment running on the host PC. This provides total control of advanced

application building, debugging and programming features from a single easy-to-use

interface.

RLink and STLink

RLink and STLink are debug tools that allow the STM8L evaluation board or any user

application board with the SWIM interface to be connected to a host PC via USB for

debugging and programming. See Section 10.3.3: Connecting the hardware on page 34.
