STM Studio overview

STM Studio is a free software tools that helps to debug and diagnose STM8 and STM32

applications while they are running by reading and displaying their variables in real-time.

Running on a PC, STM Studio interfaces with STM8 and STM32 MCUs via standard

development tools, such as the low cost ST-LINK and RLink along with the high-end STM8

STice emulation system.

STM Studio is a non-intrusive tool, preserving the real-time behavior of applications.

STM Studio perfectly complements traditional debugging tools to fine tune applications. It is

well suited for debugging applications which cannot be stopped, such as motor control

applications.

Different graphic views are available to match the needs of debugging and diagnosis or to

demonstrate application behavior. This tool works with STM8 microcontrollers through

SWIM (single wire interface module) and with STM32 microcontrollers through JTAG or

SWD (serial wire debug) interface.

It is a graphical user interface for probing and visualizing in real time application's variables

systems.

Please refer to STM Studio release notes to know the host PC system requirements and

supported hardware.

For advanced information on how to use STM Studio, please refer to its user manual

(UM1025; Getting started with STM Studio).
