Description ST Visual Develop (STVD)
Description
ST Visual Develop (STVD) provides an easy-to-use, efficient environment for start-to-finish
control of application development – from building and debugging the application code to
programming the microcontroller. STVD is delivered as part of the free ST MCU Toolset,
which also includes the ST Visual Programmer (STVP) programming interface and the ST
Assembler Linker.
To build applications, STVD provides seamless integration of C and Assembly tool chains for
ST 8-bit microcontrollers including the Cosmic and Raisonance C compilers and the ST
Assembler Linker. When debugging, STVD provides an integrated Simulator (software) and
supports a complete range of hardware tools including low-cost RLink and ST-LINK in-circuit
debugger/programmers, the cost-effective ST7-DVP3 and the high-end ST7-EMU3 series
emulators for ST7 microcontrollers and the STice advanced emulator for STM8
microcontrollers.
To program applications to an ST microcontroller, STVD also provides an interface for
reading, writing and verification of microcontroller Flash memory without leaving STVD. This
interface is based on ST Visual Programmer (STVP), and supports all the target devices
and programming tools supported by STVP.
Ordering information
The ST MCU Toolset with ST Visual Develop, ST Visual Programmer and Assembler Linker
toolchain is available for free download from ST. It is also provided on the software CD-ROM
provided with all supported hardware tools.
Note: InDart series in-circuit debugger/programmers for ST7 are driven by an STVD-based
development environment that can be downloaded from SofTec Microsystems.
