Is steval-idp003v1 shipped with firmware already programmed inside the MCU?

[EPell.1]

Dear all,

We are implementing a system with IO-Link and we would like to use the steval-idp003v1 to debug our application. Is the evaluation kit shipped with the firmware mentioned in the guide (STSW-IO-LINK) or we need an external debugger to flash our custom firmware using the API provided? In few words, is the STEVAL-KIT plug and play?

Thanks to all
