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 ST7 Visual Programmer (STVP7°

Release Notes.
