Figure 1: Typical ST7_EPB programming board The layout of the programming board included in your ST7 EPB kit varies depending on the type and package of the ST7 microcontroller you wish to program (a typical example is shown in Figure 1 ). However, the general programming procedure explained in this book remains the same for all boards. A complete listing of the ST7 family of programming boards, with a summary of the devices they support is given in ST7_EPB.pdf , available on the MCU on CD CDROM. Note: The ST7 EPB is meant to program small numbers of microcontrollers (i.e. prototypes in the development stage). For mass production programming, it is recommended that you use the appropriate gang programmer. The programming board is linked via the parallel port, to a host PC running the Windows Epromer software (WINEE). This software interface allows you to customize and control the programming. 5/20 1 - Introduction 1.2 ST7 EPB User Manual Hardware features A range of programming boards allow you to program all of the EPROM, EEPROM and FLASH versions of the ST7 family. In Situ Programming (ISP) is also available for the newer EEPROM devices. 1.3 Software features A host PC running the Windows Epromer software (WINEE) is the control interface for the ST7 EPB. WINEE is a graphical Windows interface that lets you: • Read, view, edit and save executable files in the Intel HEX and Motorola S19 formats, generated by the Assembler, Linker or C Compiler for ST microcontrollers. • Program executable files into ST microcontrollers. • View and verify a microcontroller’s memory contents. • Either create a project that defines how to program the microcontroller(s) or load the files whose contents you want to program and then execute the program. WINEE includes a detailed online help utility. 6/20 ST7 EPB User Manual 2 GETTING STARTED 2.1 Delivery checklist 2 - Getting Started Check that your ST7 EPB kit contains the following: 2.2 • 1 ST7 EPB Eprom Programming Board (i.e. the EPB appropriate to the sales type ordered). • 1 power supply. • 1 parallel cable. • 1 MCU on CD CDROM containing the Windows Epromer software. • 1 10-pin HE10 type ribbon cable for ISP mode (if provided on the programming board for the sales type ordered). Setting up the EPB To set up the ST7 EPB hardware, follow these instructions: Note: 1 Shut down and power-off the host PC. 2 Connect one end of the supplied parallel cable to connector P1 of the ST7 EPB and the other end to one of the host PC’s parallel ports (LPT1 or LPT2). 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—the insertion of 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 should occur, please remove the dongle and restart the above sequence. 3 Note: Power on the programming board by connecting the power supply to the programming board and to the mains. Ensure that the power supply is adapted to the mains voltage and outlet type used in your country. The board can be supplied from the integrated power supply provided with the board, or from an external +15 VDC / 0.5 A power supply. 4 Power on the host PC and install the software provided as described in the next section. 7/20 2 - Getting Started 2.3 ST7 EPB User Manual Installing the software Your ST7 EPB comes with the MCU on CD CD-ROM which contains a number of ST7 software tools. These tools are compatible with Windows 95, 98, 2000 and Windows NT operating systems. Note: Windows 2000 and NT users must have administrator privileges to install the Windows Epromer. To install and setup the ST7 software tools, follow these steps: 1 Close all other open applications on your Windows desktop. 2 Insert the MCU on CD into your CD-ROM drive. The CD-ROM’s autorun feature will open up a welcome screen on your PC. If the autorun feature does not work, use Windows Explorer to browse to the CD-ROM’ s root folder, and doubleclick on Welcome.exe. 3 Select Install Your Development Tools from the list of options. A new screen will appear listing the different families of STMicroelectronics MCUs. 4 Use your mouse to place the cursor over the ST7 Tools option. Choose ST Tools, then ST7 Toolchain from the lists that appear. 5 The install wizard will be launched. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen. You can choose to install the complete toolchain (i.e. the appropriate version of STVD7, the Windows Epromer and the Assembler-Linker) for each type of development tool (Development Kit, HDS2 or EMU3 emulators or simulator), or perform a customized installation. If you choose a customized installation, you can choose to install only the Windows Epromer (WINEE). The installation is now complete. You will be prompted to reboot your computer. You should do so before launching the Windows Epromer (described in Chapter 3: How to Program on page 9). 8/20 ST7 EPB User Manual 3 HOW TO PROGRAM 3.1 Programming Methods 3 - How to Program Your ST7 EPB programming board is provided with at least one Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket which allows the programming of packaged MCUs. In addition to classic MCU programming using ZIF sockets, some of the newer EEPROM memories can be programmed using the In Situ Programming (ISP) mode. ISP mode allows the ST7 program memory contents to be updated using a standard ST7 programming tool after the device is mounted on the application board. Here we describe how to connect your device for programming using these methods. 3.1.1 Installing a device for programming with the ZIF sockets This section gives general guidelines on how to insert a device you wish to program into the ZIF sockets on the programming board. The online help for the Windows Epromer includes programming board layouts for all of the ST7 EPBs. Caution: 1 Set up the EPB as described in Section 2.2 on page 7. 2 Make sure that your EPB is powered off. 3 From your host PC select Start>Programs>ST7 Tool Chain> Development Tools>Windows Epromer to launch the Windows Epromer software program. From the main menu bar, select Help>Hardware. 4 A list of ST7MDTx and ST72xx programming boards will appear in the online Help window. Scroll down until you find your programming board model, and click on it. 5 Using the board layout that appears for your programming board, identify the ZIF socket for your device package on the programming board. 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. Never insert or remove devices when the programming board is powered. Devices are powered only during read or write operations. 9/20 3 - How to Program 6 ST7 EPB User Manual Lift the relevant ZIF socket lever and place the device into the socket with pin 1 matching the mark on the board. Lock the device in place by lowering the lever again. Place your device here, making sure to align pin 1 on the device with the arrow on the programming board ZIF Socket 1 lever 7 3.1.2 Power on the EPB. Installing a device for programming using ISP mode To see whether programming in ISP mode is possible for your target MCU, refer to the MCU’s datasheet, or consult ST7_EPB.pdf, installed with the Windows Epromer, and available by selecting Start>Programs>ST7 Toolchain>User Manuals. If ISP mode is supported, the datasheet will provide the connection information necessary to set up your application board for ISP programming. Once you have ensured that you have correctly set up your application board to support ISP mode, and that the ST7 EPB programming board is a type that supports ISP mode, follow these instructions: 10/20 1 Set up the EPB as described in Section 2.2 on page 7. 2 Make sure that your EPB and application board are powered off. 3 From your host PC select Start>Programs>ST7 Tool Chain> Development Tools>Windows Epromer to launch the Windows Epromer software program. 4 Connect one end of the ISP ribbon cable to the 10-pin ISP connector on the EPB and the other end to the same type of connector on your application board. 5 Switch on your application board. 6 Power on the EPB. ST7 EPB User Manual 3.2 3 - How to Program A typical programming session The following instructions describe how you would typically program an ST microcontroller using Windows Epromer. Note that this is not the only way to program an ST microcontroller using Windows Epromer; for more information on how to use the Windows Epromer, click the Help command in the main menu bar. 1 Make sure that the microcontroller you want to program is correctly connected for programming, either via the ZIF socket or in ISP mode. 2 In the Windows Epromer window, from the main menu, select Configure>Configure EPROMER. The epromer configuration dialog box is displayed: 3 In the Select Hardware and Port tab of the Epromer Configuration window, choose the programming device you are using from the list and the host PC parallel port to which it is connected (i.e. LPT1 or LPT2). 4 Click on the Select Chip tab of the Epromer Configuration window. 11/20 3 - How to Program ST7 EPB User Manual The list box shown below appears. Select your target device with the ISP option if you wish to program your target device using In Situ Programming (ISP) The following table list the suffixes which may appear following device names in the Select Chip tab of the Epromer Configuration window, with the memory type associated with each suffix and a comment describing the significance of the suffix: Suffix ISP 12/20 Associated memory type EEPROM Comment If you select a ST72xxx-ISP device then you can program using the In Situ Programming (ISP) mode. ISP mode allows the ST7 program memory contents to be updated using a standard ST7 programming tool after the device is mounted on the application board. ST7 EPB User Manual Suffix S0 S1 S2 3 - How to Program Associated memory type FLASH Comment With Windows Epromer you can perform READ, PROGRAM and BLANK functions on specific sectors of certain FLASH devices. In Windows Epromer, some device names are listed with a S0, S1 or S2 suffix; this suffix indicates which sector of the FLASH memory space is accessible if you select this device name. When the device name doesn’t have a S0, S1 or S2 suffix, then access is to the whole memory space. For example: If you select a ST72Fxxx-S0 device, the READ, PROGRAM and BLANK functions are performed only on sector 0 of the FLASH memory space; the option bytes are not accessible. Likewise for S1 and S2. If you select a ST72Fxxx device, the READ and PROGAM functions are performed either on all FLASH memory space or on the option bytes. The BLANK function erases and blank checks all FLASH memory space (sectors 0, 1 and 2), the option bytes are not erased. Note: 5 From the list shown in the Select Chip tab of the Epromer Configuration window, select the device to be programmed: 6 Click Apply to save your changes without closing the dialog box, or OK to save your changes and close the dialog box. You can also select a microcontroller type from the drop-down list in the toolbar. 7 In the Epromer main window, click on a tab (EPROM, EEPROM or Options) 8 From the main menu, select File>Open and type the name of, or browse to, the file you want to load. 9 In the list of files, click the file holding the code you want to program. 10 Click OK. When the file is loaded, the information area displays file checksum and global device checksum (global device checksum represents checksum calculated without reserved area). 11 To program the other device memory areas, repeat steps 7 to 10 above, first clicking the tab associated with the memory area (EPROM, EEPROM or Options) you want to program.
