ST7232X-EVAL

Insem’s ST-STEP64 Evaluation Board for ST7232x and ST7252x

The

Insem

ST-STEP64

Evaluation

Board

evaluation board that allows you to try out the

features of the ST7232x and ST7252x, and

develop applications for these microcontrollers. Its

innovative design allows stand-alone operation

(application running on the included ST72F521R

microcontroller), or operation while connected to

your host-PC using the low-cost ST7MDT20-

DVP3 emulator.

operation

with

a

microcontroller or the ST7MDT20-DVP3 emulator.

The ST-STEP64 also integrates a 10-pin ICC

connector

for

microcontroller.

Also Includes pre-wired daughter board PCBs,

ready for mounting of connectors and supported

MCUs in TQFP80 (14x14), TQFP64 (10x10) and

TQFP32, so that you can make your own Core

Module for an ST7232x or ST7252x.

low-cost ST7-DVP3 series emulator provides a

hardware interface with the host PC for debugging

application software and in-circuit programming of

microcontroller. The evaluation board comes with

the additional flat cable and the adapter required

for connection to an ST7MDT20-DVP3 emulator.

Visual

Develop

(STVD7)

–

the

free

integrated development environment for ST7

featuring simulator and full integration of Cosmic

and Metrowerks C toolsets. STVD7 runs on the

host PC, allowing you to debug applications with

an emulator, or to in-circuit program an application

to the target ST7 and in-circuit debug the

application while it runs on the ST7 on your

evaluation board.
