Primer usage

Power up

If your EvoPrimer base and the target board are not connected, simply insert the target

board into the EvoPrimer base, switch on the power switch and slide the transparent cover

in place.

Press the joystick to power up the complete EvoPrimer and plug it directly into a host PC's

USB port for in-circuit debugging and device programming.

Note:

EvoPrimer bases are charged in the factory to ensure minimum operation upon reception.

The battery needs charging as soon as possible via the EvoPrimer base's debug USB port.

Play

Start exploring the power of the STM32/STM8 by playing with the included applications. The

base drives the fun, ergonomic hardware platform that combines a TFT graphical display

with MEMs-based controls plus a tactile screen and joystick for navigating and controlling

the GUI and game applications.

The Primers enable you to discover, edit and fine tune applications using Raisonance's

Ride7 software toolset which drives the hardware and offers a full range of project

management, source code editing and debugging features from an intuitive GUI.

The Primers can operate in standalone mode powered by a battery with power

management circuit which is recharged via the USB connection to a host PC.

When the STM8L or STM32L EvoPrimer target boards are disconnected from the base,

they have the unique feature of being able to run off their own battery which is recharged by

their solar cells. They can use this feature to operate as a standalone temperature sensor

application!

More resources

You can develop applications using sample applications from Raisonance or other

engineers at www.mcu-circle.com as the starting point for new innovations. All the

preloaded sample applications, new applications and the CircleOS task scheduler can be

downloaded for free from the mcu-circle web site. This Primer dedicated internet site also

provides FAQ, user forums, links to development resources and much more.

Note:

Raisonance's Ride7 supports the STM32, STR7/9, STM8 and ST7 microcontroller families.
