ST7MDTU3-EMU2B Emulator User Manual 1 - Introduction
7/63
Chapter 3: STVD7 on page 17, explains how to install ST7 Visual Debug on
your PC, and set up the emulator configuration so that you can begin your
debugging session.
Once assembled and linked, the application software is ready to be downloaded
into the ST7 emulator. The development station performs a real-time emulation
of the target device, thus allowing high performance testing and debugging of
both application hardware and software.
When the program is fully debugged, the ST7 EPROM programming board
(ref.: ST7MDTU3B-EPB — not provided with this emulator kit) can be used to
program the emulation device with the Motorola S Record format file produced
by the OBSEND formatter.
