Architecture

Embedded RLink: In-circuit debugging and prog ramming tool that uses SWIM for the

STM8, in-circuit communication (ICC) for the ST7 and supports the JTAG protocol. It
interfaces with the host PC via a USB connection.

REva mother board: Universal evaluation board designed for quick and easy evaluation of
a complete range of features (I/Os, ADC, SPI, CAN, I2C...) for a variety of STM8 and ST7s.
It is powered from the RLink’s USB connection to the host PC.

REva daughterboards: Interchangeable boards featuring different STM8 and ST7
microcontrollers, make it easy to evaluate and develop applications for a complete range of
MCUs from a single evaluation platform. All boards have a clock source selection jumper,
and an oscillator footprint. See Table 1 and Table 2 for details.

Raisonance’s software: RLink can be driven by Raisonance’s Ride7 or RFlasher7.

● Ride7: Drives the RLink and offers seamless control of software development tools

(project manager, editor, compiler, assembler, linker, debugger, etc.) from an intuitive
graphical interface. It offers full integration of the relevant C/C++ toolsets, project
management, code editor and SIMICE instruction set simulator. Ride7 includes:

– RBuilder allows users to rapidly configure device peripherals in a GUI and

generate the C source code f or peripherals a t the clic k of a b utton without writing a

single line of code
– SIMICE simulator
– Raisonance STM8 and ST7 C compiler
– High-level language debugging
– Project manager
– Color syntax highlighting editor
– Free downloads of evaluation versions with unlimited debugging from

www.raisonance.com

– The optional CodeCompressor allows post-link optimization of the entire

applications code using optimizations like in-lining, factorizing and peepholing,

which can reduce application code by 5 to 15%.

● RFlasher7: Raisonance’s easy-to-use device programming interface drives RLink and

allows users to erase, program, view and verify microcontroller memory. RFlasher7
also includes automated mode for automatic execu tion of programming sequences for
mass programming and project mode that allows users to save their programming
configurations. In this oper ating mode , tasks become intuitiv e and can be achie v ed with
only a few clicks such as:

– Flash memory erasing and programming,
– Flash or RAM memory dumping,
– blank check, programming verifications,
– mass programming process.
