Emulation configuration
The ST7-EMU3 emulator is composed of:
●
ST7 Visual Develop (STVD7): software from which you can configure and control your
emulator, and debug your application. It runs on your PC, which you connect to your
emulator via a parallel, USB or Ethernet connection.
●
The Target Emulation Module consisting of:
–
The ST Micro Connect Box, which contains the common resources for
communication between the PC and emulation hardware. It links to a host PC via
parallel, USB or Ethernet ports, and to the probe by way of two 80-wire flat cables.
–
The probe, which contains the active emulation hardware including the target
emulation board (TEB). The target emulation board has the specific resources
necessary to emulate an individual ST7, or family of ST7 microcontrollers. It also
permits the connection to your application board.
●
Flex connectors which are furnished in your emulator’s connection kit and provide the
connection between your emulator’s TEB and your application board.
●
Adapters which may be necessary for some device packages, when connecting to
your application board.
●
Sockets which you must install on your application board, allowing you to connect your
emulator to the application in place of your ST7.
