Development tool supports ST's 8-bit to 32-bit microcontrollers
28 June 2006
DSP, Micros & Memory
STMicroelectronics has introduced an economical application development tool, the RLink, which enables debugging and programming across a complete range of ST's 8-bit to 32-bit microcontroller families. Developed by Raisonance, this versatile professional tool supports the ST7, 8051-based µPSD and ARM-based STR7 MCUs, and is said to be the first such product in the market to extend its capabilities across three major MCU families. The new development tool removes the need for users to buy and learn a new toolset when developing for a different family.
RLink connects to target application or evaluation boards using a standard JTAG connection for STR7 and μpPSD systems, and an ICC (ST's in-circuit communication protocol) connection for ST7 systems. 10, 14 and 20-pin adapters for the three families are included in the kit. It is powered through its USB connection to the host PC and needs no separate power supply.
The compact hardware is driven by the Raisonance Integrated Development Environment (RIDE), which provides control of the software development tools - compiler, assembler, linker, debugger - through an intuitive graphical user interface. RIDE supports development and debugging of applications by providing full integration of the relevant C or C/C++ toolsets, plus project management, a code editor, SIMICE instruction set simulator and high-level language debugger.
In addition, the RFlasher standalone programming tool, included as part of the kit.
The RLink package includes the RLink debugger and programmer, JTAG/ICC adapters, USB cable and RIDE/RFlasher software CD.
