... 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 ...

... Using an in-circuit programming connection Some ST7-EPB programmers allow in-circuit programming (ICP) of supported ST7 Flash microcontrollers, thanks to the In-Circuit Communication (ICC) protocol developed for ST7. This section provides information to help you setup your application board for in-circuit programming of your ST7 ...

... ICC mode unintentionally during a reset. Isolation of the RESET pin During an ICC session, your ST7-EPB must control the ST7’s RESET pin. No external reset can be generated by the application. This can lead to a conflict if the application reset circuitry signal exceeds 5mA (push-pull output or pull-up resistor <1k). To avoid such conflicts, a Shottky diode can be used to isolate the application reset circuit ...

... ST7-EPB 2 Hardware Features 2.1 Parallel port connection The ST7 EPB communicates with your host PC (running STVP7) via a parallel port connection. Most communication failures between the host PC running STVP7 and your programming board stem from problems in the parallel port connection. To prevent communication problems, when setting up your parallel port connection: ● ...
