ST Micro Connect 2
Introduction
7912386 Rev 12
7/58
ST Micro Connect 2 is connected to the host by plugging into an
Ethernet
network or host
USB
port, see
Figure 2
. Both USB 1.1 and 2.0 are supported.
Note:
The ST Micro Connection Package must be installed before connecting the ST Micro
Connect 2, see
Section 1.1 on page 8
.

When connected to an Ethernet, ST Micro Connect 2 is a network device that provides a
fast, flexible interface between the host system and a target development system. Using the
ST Micro Connect 2 in this mode enables the target system to be remote and to be easily
shared among users. This datasheet assumes that the user is reasonably familiar with the
concepts and terms involved with TCP/IP networking.
In USB mode using the USB Type B connector, the ST Micro Connect 2 has full
plug-and-play, auto-configure capability.
A USB 2.0 type A connector provides expansion capability, for example to a USB hard disk
drive, but is not currently used.
Connection to the development target is through a VHDCI LVDS connector, and a shielded
68-wire SCSI-V cable, (see
Figure 1 on page 6
). The connection depends on the type of
connector pinout present on the development board. Some boards require an STMC I/O
convertor to be connected between the cable and the target interface, see
Table 1
. An I/O
convertor is provided with the product, see
Appendix G: Ordering information on page 51
.
Note:
The pinouts of the various target interfaces are described in the ST system-on-chip (SoC)
debug interfaces technical note (8339250).
