RLink Software

[HawkinsTech]

I am trying to work with a legacy project using an ST7 processor.  I bought an RLink second-hand, but it didn’t come with any software.

I thought I could just go to the Raisonance site and download it, but their portal is not working for me and their support is completely unresponsive.

Does anyone know of where to find the software or able to share an installer?

Welcome ​@HawkinsTech, to the community!

Well, although the ST7 family has been discontinued for a long time now, Raisonance still seems to offer their tools. However, for ST7 this is not free software, and AFAIK it never was, so it is node-locked. So an installer will be of no use to you without a licence. So there is no way around waiting for a reply from Raisonance.

Or, depending on the requirements, use another MCU for which you can get the tools for free: STM8 8-bit Microcontrollers (MCU), STM32, etc.

Thanks Peter!

I didn’t realize that the software wasn’t free even with a valid R-link tool.

I have never gotten to the point where I can try to download the software, but are you saying that I would just need to get Raisonance the serial number of my programmer and they would likely get me software that would be locked to that programmer?
