Raisonance’s in-circuit debugger/programmer
for STM8, ST7, µPSD, STM32, STR7 and STR9
Features
■ In-circuit debugging and programming
■ Connection to application board via JTAG
standard, or ST SWIM or ICC connection
■ USB interface to host PC
■ Powered from USB
Description
The RLink (STX-RLINK) is Raisonance’s
versatile, low-cost, in-circuit debugger and
programmer for a complete range of
STMicroelectronics microcontrollers (STM8, ST7,
µPSD, STM32, STR7 and STR9). It connects to
application or evaluation boards for in-circuit
programming and debugging via an industry
standard JTAG connection for ARM® core-based
and µPSD microcontrollers, via
STMicroelectronics’ SWIM connection for STM8,
or via an in-circuit communication (ICC)
connection for ST7 microcont rollers.
The RLink, driven by Raisonance’s Ride7
integrated development environment provides
both unlimited in-circuit debugging and
programming of applications for STM8, ST7 and
µPSD. It provides in-circuit debugging of up to
32 Kbytes of code for STM32, STR7 and STR9,
and unlimited in-circuit programming of
applications for these devices.
STX-RLINK
Data Brief
The RLink does not include trace support for
ARM® core-based devices with Embedded T r ace
Macrocell™ such as STR9. Tools with trace
capability are available in the STR9 Professional
Developer Kit from Raisonance (STR9-DK/RAIS)
with Signum JTAGjet, and in the STR91x
Advanced Developer’s Kit from IAR (STR91XDK/IAR) with J-Trace.
In combination with Raisonance’s free RFlasher7
programming software, RLink can also be used
as a very-low cost, dedicated in-circuit
programmer for STM8, ST7, µPSD, STM32,
STR7 and STR9 microcontrollers.

Architecture STX-RLINK
Architecture
RLink - Raisonance’s in-circuit debugging and programming tool supports SWIM, ICC and
JTAG protocols and connects to your application board via one of three adapters which
provide the following connections:
● 10-pin ICC adapter for ST7, and a 4-pin SWIM adapter for STM8
● 14-pin JTAG adapter for µPSD
● 20-pin JTAG adapter for STM32, STR7 and STR9
C compiler toolsets - Raisonance provides C compilers tailored to the complete range of
supported microcontroller families. Compilers are fully optimizing and seamlessly integrated
into Ride7, eliminating the need to edit complicated scripts and maximizing ease of use.
Toolsets include:
● Raisonance C compiler for STM8 and ST7 (Rkit-STM8) features zero-page auto
relocation for code siz e and perf o rmance optimization that is tailored to the architecture
of these devices. The comp iler chain is a v ailab le from Raisonance in a free v ers ion that
outputs code up to 16 Kbytes in size.
● Raisonance RC-51 compiler supports µPSD and other 8051 core-based
microcontrollers. The compiler tool chain is available from Raisonance in a free ver sion
that outputs code up to 4 Kbytes in size.
● Raisonance GNU C/C++ compiler supports the full range of ST ARM® core-based
microcontrollers in the STM32, STR9 and STR7 families.
Raisonance’s software - RLink can be driven by Raisonance’s integrated development
environment (Ride7) or by other tools such as RFlasher7, some inline programming
applications and ST tools (STVD and STVP).
● Ride7 - Drives the RLink and off ers seamless control of software development tools
(project manager, editor, compiler, assembler, linker, debugger, etc.) from an intuitive
graphical interface.
It offers full integr ation of the rele v ant C/C++ toolset s, project manag ement, code editor
and SIMICE instruction set simulator.
The RBuilder feature allows user s to rapidl y configure device peripherals in a GUI and
generate the C source code for peripherals at the click of a button, without writing a
single line of code.
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 e asy-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 operating mode, tasks such as:
– Flash memory erasing and programming
– Flash or RAM memory dumping
– Blank check, programming verifications
– Mass programming process
become intuitive and can be achieved with only a few clicks.
