Setting up your ST7-EPB

To setup your ST7-EPB programming board:

1.

Shut down and power-off the host PC.

2.

Connect one end of the supplied parallel cable to the EPB’s P1 connector and the

other end to one of the host PC’s parallel ports (LPT1 or LPT2).

Note:

Be sure to use the parallel cable provided with your kit — using a longer parallel cable may

cause malfunctions.

Connect the cable directly between the host PC and the programming board — inserting

additional cables or switch boxes between the host PC and the programming board may

cause malfunctions.

If a dongle (a hardware key required by some software packages) is already connected to

the PC’s parallel port, it should not interfere with the programming board. However, if a

malfunction of the board occurs, please remove the dongle and reconnect your EPB.

1.

Connect the power supply to the programming board. Ensure that the power supply is

adapted to the mains voltage and outlet type used in your country.

Note:

The board can be supplied from the integrated power supply provided with the board, or

2.

Power on the host PC.

1.3

Using the programming sockets

All ST7-EPBs come with one or more sockets for programming. The sockets that are

available to you for programming will vary depending on the packages for the ST7 sub-

family that your programming board supports.

Regardless of the type of socket, when installing an ST7 for programming you must ensure

that pin 1 of the ST7 corresponds with pin 1 of the socket.

To install your ST7:

1.

Set up the EPB as described in

Section 1.2 on page 7.

2.

Identify the socket for your device package on the programming board.

3.

Open the socket, or lift the lever (for ZIF sockets) and place the device into the socket

with pin 1 matching the pin 1 indicator on the programming board.

Caution:

Take care when placing the device into a socket so as not to damage the device or the

board. Forcing the MCU into the socket may result in damage to the socket.
