Firmware download into the STLUX MCU
4.1 Setup
To download the firmware to the STLUX on the board, you need:
Hardware
•
an HID evaluation board
•
a RAISONANCE RLink
•
a RAISONANCE RLink connection adapter for STM8 and ST7
•
a PC with Microsoft Windows™
•
a 3.3 V power supply
Software
•
Ride7 application development software
•
RFlasher7 (if you only want to download the compiled FW code)
4.2 Installation
Begin with the connections:
•
link the RAISONANCE RLink to the PC with a USB cable (Type A male / Type B male).
•
link the 24-pin flat cable of the RAISONANCE RLink to the RLink connection adapter
for STM8 and ST7
•
link the two SWIM connectors with a 4-wire SWIM cable for the RAISONANCE RLink
connection adapter for STM8 and ST7 and for the board that you are going to program
•
connect the 3.3 V to supply the STLUX
On the PC, open the RFlasher7 software interface for programming the STLUX
microcontroller; it provides an easy-to-use and efficient environment for reading, writing to
and verifying device memory and option bytes.
