Description

The STice is the advanced in-circuit emulation system from STMicroelectronics. It offers a

complete range of proven debugging features such as advanced breakpoints and trace

recording. In addition, it provides new profiling and coverage capabilities to help detect and

eliminate dead code and bottlenecks in application execution.

In addition to emulation, the STice provides in-circuit debugging and programming capability

for ST microcontrollers via the ST single wire interface module (SWIM). SWIM allows non-

intrusive debugging of an application while it runs on the target microcontroller.

The STice is supported by the free STM8 toolset, which includes the ST Visual Develop

(STVD) integrated development environment for building, debugging and fine-tuning

applications, the ST Visual Programmer (STVP) microcontroller programming interface and

the STM8 Assembler.

The STice offers improved cost-effectiveness by allowing users to order exactly what they

need to meet their development requirements and to adapt their emulation system to

support existing and future ST microcontrollers. All these connection accessories and the

STice emulation boards can be ordered independently as replacement parts.
