ST7-EPB
Programming board
Introduction
Thanks for choosing ST7! This manual will help you setup and start using your ST7-EPB programming
board.
ST7-EPB programming boards allow you to program ST7 microcontrollers that have EPROM, EEPROM
and FLASH memories. Your programming board links, via parallel port, to a host PC running ST7 Visual
Programmer (STVP7) software. This software interface allows you to customize and control the
programming of an application to your ST7.
The layout of your programming board varies depending on the type of EPB you have ordered, as each
programming board is designed to program a different sub-family of ST7 MCUs.
Some programming boards also support either In-Circuit Programming (ICP), or In Situ Programming
(ISP) of your ST7 while it is mounted on your application board.
Note:
A complete listing of the ST7 family of programming tools, including the devices and
programming modes that they support is provided in
