STice emulator

8.2.1

STice overview

The STice is a modular, high-end emulator system which connects to the PC via a USB

interface, and to the application board in place of the target microcontroller.

It is supported by the free STM8 toolset: IDE ST Visual Develop (STVD) programmer, ST

Visual Programmer (STVP) and STM8 Assembler. Please refer to the STice emulator for

STM8 for more details.

STice has two distinct modes of operation which are described further in this section:

•

Emulation mode

•

In-circuit mode

It can also be used instead of RLink for SWIM connection.
