1 Getting started
Your STR910-EVAL is designed with a full range of hardware features that will help you
rapidly evaluate microcontroller peripherals and develop your own applications. Descriptions
of hardware features and configurations are provided in
Section 2 on page 8 .
Demonstration software is preloaded in the board’s flash memory for easy demonstration of
device peripherals in stand-alone mode. For more information refer to the demonstration
software getting started.
Your STR910-EVAL is also designed for use as an application development platform and
reference design, and supports connection to a full range of in-circuit debugging tools and
integrated development environments.
To start using your STR910-EVAL evaluation board for application development, you will
have to set up your development tools and connect to the STR91xF.
1. Connect to your STR910-EVAL via the 20-pin JTAG connector.
A 38-pin ETM connector is also provided, allowing you to connect to and use your
microcontroller’s Embedded Trace Macrocell during debugging. For additional
configuration information, see
Section 2.12 on page 17
2. Power up the evaluation board.
The board can be powered by 5V from either the jack for external power supply, USB
connector, or a daughter board. For additional configuration information, see
Section 2.1 on page 10 .
3. Connect to the device from the debugging software on your host PC.
The BCD files, FME file and installation instructions that you will need to update your
debugging software are available for free download at the STMicroelectronics
microcontrollers support site on www.st.com.
