Overview

inD ART-STX is a powerful entry-level tool for

STMicroelectronics ST FIVE- and ST7-based

systems. inDART-STX tak es advantage of the ISP

(In-System Programming) feature to program the

FLASH memory of the target microcontrollers.

inD ART-STX seamlessly integrates into y our fav orite

development environment: STMicroelectronics

STVD7 and Metrowerks CodeWarrior for ST7 (if you

are working with ST7 devices) or STMicroelectronics

Visual FIVE and Raisonance RKit-ST5 (if you are

working with FIVE devices). STVD7, Visual FIVE

and RKit-ST5 are conveniently included with

inD ART-STX, thus providing y ou with everything you

need to quick-start your projects: you can write,

compile, download (prog r am), in-circuit em ulate and

debug y our code right out of the box. The

debugger/progr ammer unit is connected to the host

PC through a USB port, while the 10-pin connector

of the product fits into the target’s ISP connector . On

Design Kit packages , a full-featured experiment

board for a specific microcontroller is also included.

The inDART Technology

Contrariwise to traditional in-circuit emulation (where

the target application is executed and emulated

inside the emulator), inDART-STX uses the very

same target microcontroller to carry on in-circuit

execution. This means that all microcontroller’s

peripherals (timers, A/D converters, I/O pins , etc.)

are not reconstructed or simulated by an external

device, but are the very same target

microcontroller’s peripher als. Moreo ver , the inDART-

STX debugging approach ensures that the target

microcontroller’s electrical char acteristics (pull-ups,

low-v oltage oper ations, I/O thresholds, etc.) are

100% guaranteed.

In-System Programming (ISP)

The ISP feature allows you to update the content of

the FLASH program memory while the chip is still

plugged in the application board. ISP programming

uses a serial protocol to interface a progr amming

tool like inDART-STX. The ISP interf ace can be

implemented with a minumum number of added

components and board area impact. inD ART-STX

uses the standard, 10-pin ISP connector to program

and in-circuit emulate the target de vice. The

diagrams belo w sho w typical ISP interfaces for both

ST FIVE and ST7 devices.

Evaluation Boards

On Design Kit packages , a full-featured,

microcontroller-specific evaluation board is also

included. Evaluation boards feature a socketed

microcontroller, DIP-switches, jumpers, LEDs, push-

buttons , potentiometers , prototyping area and an

ISP connector and can be used for

evaluation/experiments in the absence of a target

application board.
