ST9 EPB User Manual 1 - Introduction

5/24

1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Overview

The ST9 EPB is a programming board kit which allows you to program ST9

microcontrollers having EPROM, OTP, OSD, EEPROM and FLASH memories.

The layout of the programming board included in your ST9 EPB kit varies

depending on the type and package of the ST9 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 ST9 family of programming boards, with a summary of the

devices they support is given in Appendix B: Current ST9 EPBs on page 19.

Note: The ST9 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 ST9

Visual Programmer software (STVP9). This software interface allows you to

customize and control the programming. The object code in either the Intel®HEX

and Motorola®S19 format can be read and used to program the target devices.

6/24

STVP9 also offers VERIFY, BLANK CHECK, READ, ERASE and other utility

functions.

1.2 Hardware features

A range of programming boards allow you to program all of the EPROM, OTP,

OSD, EEPROM and FLASH versions of the ST9 family. In Situ Programming (ISP)

is also available for the FLASH devices.

1.3 Software features

A host PC running the STVP9 is the control interface for the ST9 EPB.

STVP9 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.

STVP9 includes a detailed online help utility.

2 GETTING STARTED

2.1 Delivery Checklist

Check that your ST9 EPB programming board kit contains the following items:

•1 ST9 EPB Eprom Programming Board (i.e. the EPB appropriate to the sales

type ordered).

•1 power supply.

•1 parallel cable.

•1MCU on CD CDROM containing the STVP9 software.

•1 14-pin HE10 type ribbon cable for ISP mode (if provided on the programming

board for the sales type ordered).

2.2 Setting up the EPB

To set up the ST9 EPB hardware, follow these instructions:

1Shut down and power-off the host PC.

2Connect one end of the supplied parallel cable to connector P1 of the ST9 EPB

and the other end to one of the host PC’s parallel ports (LPT1 or LPT2).

Note: 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.

3Power 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.

Note: 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.

4Power on the host PC and install the software provided as described in the next

section.

2.3 Installing the STVP9 software

Your ST9 EPB comes with the MCU on CD CD-ROM which contains STVP9 and a

number of other ST9 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 STVP9.

To install STVP9 , follow these steps:

1Close all other open applications on your Windows desktop.

2Insert 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 double-

click on Welcome.exe.

3Select Install Your Development Tools from the list of options. A new screen

will appear listing the different families of STMicroelectronics MCUs.

4Use your mouse to place the cursor over the ST9 Tools option. Choose ST

Tools and then ST Visual Programmer for ST9-EPB (STVP9) from the list

that appears.

5The install wizard will be launched. Follow the instructions that appear on the

screen.

The installation is now complete. How to start programming with STVP9 is

described in Chapter 3: How to Program on page 9.

3 HOW TO PROGRAM

3.1 Programming methods

Your ST9 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, those MCUs with FLASH

memories can be programmed using the In Situ Programming (ISP) mode. ISP

mode allows the ST9 program memory contents to be updated using a standard

ST9 programming tool after the device is mounted on the application board. ISP

programming is described in Chapter 4 on page 15.

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 STVP9 includes programming board layouts for all of the

ST9 EPBs.

1Set up the EPB as described in Section 2.2 on page 7.

2Make sure that your EPB is powered off.

3From your host PC select Start>Programs>STVP for ST9 EPB to launch the

STVP9 software program. From the main menu bar, select Help>Hardware.

4A list of ST9 EPBs will appear in the online Help window. Scroll down until you

find your programming board model, and click on it.

5Using the board layout that appears for your programming board, identify the

ZIF socket for your device package on the programming board.

6Place the device into the designated socket with pin 1 matching the mark on the

board.

Caution: 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.

Devices are powered only during read or write operations—a red LED (labelled LD1 or MCU

Power) will light when the device is powered. Never insert or remove devices when the

EPB’s red LED is ON.

Note: Some ZIF sockets have levers or covers that you must lift in order to place the device, and

then re-fit after the device is in place.

7Power on the EPB.

3.2 A typical programming session

The following instructions describe how you would typically program an ST

microcontroller using STVP9. Note that this is not the only way to program an ST

microcontroller using STVP9; for more information on how to use the STVP9, click

the Help command in the main menu bar.

1Make sure that the microcontroller you want to program is correctly connected

for programming, either via the ZIF socket or in ISP mode (see Chapter 4: In

Situ Programming mode on page 15).
