 Back to top
inDART-STX/521 is a Design Kit package which
includes the inDART-STX in-circuit debugger/programmer unit
plus an evaluation board specific for ST72F321 and ST72F521
FLASH microcontrollers (in TQFP64 package). inDART-STX/521
takes advantage of STMicroelectronics STVD7 (Visual Debug)
Integrated Development Environment and the ISP (In-System
Programming) feature to program the FLASH memory of the
microcontrollers. Together with STVD7, inDART-STX/521 provides
users with everything they need to write, compile (evaluation
versions of Cosmic and Metrowerks C Compilers are provided),
download, in-circuit emulate and debug user code. inDART-STX/521 is also supported by Metrowerks CodeWarrior
IDE--an evaluation version of which is provided as well.
Full-speed program execution allows users to perform hardware
and software testing in real time. inDART-STX/521 is connected
to the host PC through an USB port, while the 10-pin probe of
the debuggers fit into the target's standard ISP connector.
The instrument is powered by the USB bus, so an external power
supply is not required.
Evaluation Board
This
package includes a full-featured evaluation board specific for
ST72F321 and ST72F521 microcontrollers (TQFP64 14x14). The
evaluation board includes DIP-switches, jumpers, LEDs,
push-buttons, a potentiometer, prototyping area and a standard
ISP connector and can be used for evaluation/experiments in
the absence of a target application board.

The inDART Technology
Contrariwise to traditional in-circuit
emulation (where the target application is executed and
emulated inside the emulator), inDART-STX uses the very same
target microcontroller to carry on in-circuit execution. This
means that all microcontroller's peripherals (timers, A/D
converters, I/O pins, etc.) are not reconstructed or simulated
by an external device, but are the very same target
microcontroller's peripherals. Moreover, the inDART-STX
debugging approach ensures that the target microcontroller's
electrical characteristics (pull-ups, low-voltage operations,
I/O thresholds, etc.) are 100% guaranteed.
Program Execution Notes
inDART-STX executes programs in real-time.
However, under some circumstances, program execution is not
performed in real-time. This happens when working with HDFlash
target devices (such as ST72F321, 324, 521, 621, 651, etc.)
and one or more breakpoints are set. For detailed information,
please refer to the inDART-STX for ST7 user's manual and
user's manual addendum.
Design Kit Advantages
The evaluation boards included in the various
Design Kit packages feature a specific microcontroller with
the addition of a ready-to-use ISP interface. Just plug the
inDART-STX ISP cable into the evaluation board's ISP
connector, load the provided sample application into the user
interface and you're ready to work. It's a hassle-free way of
immediately working with your target device. Additionally,
evaluation boards feature LEDs, push-buttons, DIP-switches,
potentiometers and a prototyping area. Of course, the
inDART-STX in-circuit debugger/programmer unit included in
Design Kit packages is the same unit included in all other
packages--it still supports all of the devices of the ST72F
FLASH family as well as all of the devices of the ST FIVE 508
FLASH family.

Software Updates
The
System Software CD provided with the instrument contains the
STMicroelectronics STVD7 IDE, an evaluation version of the
Cosmic C Compiler and an evaluation version of Metrowerks
CodeWarrior for ST7. To get updated versions of these software
packages, please refer to the respective websites

Programming Library
(DLL)
The optional IPL-ST7 Programming Library is a
DLL which includes all of the low-level functions that allow
users to set up the instrument and perform, from within their
own Windows application, most of the programming commands and
functions of the DataBlaze user interface. The IPL-ST7
Programming Library contains C written routines, and can be
used to interface the instrument from within, for example, a
Microsoft Visual C or Visual Basic application, as well as any
other programming language that supports the DLL mechanism.
The IPL-ST7 Programming Library can be purchased both as an
accessory to every instrument of the inDART-ST7 series and
inDART-STX for ST7 series, or separately. Full documentation
and examples are included. An USB software protection key is
provided with every copy of IPL-ST7: the protection key must
be plugged into any USB port on the PC where the library
functions of IPL-ST7 are used.
