STM32 Primer2 - st-link functionality

Just playing with STM32 Primer2 (quite old hardware:

http://www.stm32circle.com/resources/stm32primer2.php

 ) and have a question related to the debugger interface.

This piece of hw uses rlink interface for Ride7 IDE to debug/program the target MCU. The ST72651AR6T1 MCU (32k flash)  handles this task (i.e. it steers the SWD pins of the target MCU).

I would like to use the Primer2 with Keil but Keil does not support the rlink (at least I cannot make it use rlink). I wonder if someone solved this problem - ideally I would need st-link firmware for ST72651AR6T1. MAybe there isa another way of solving this problem...

Thanks,

Bogdan

Of course I can do some changes on the PCB and connect external programmer but I am looking for less invasive solution...

RLink and the 

STM32 Primer2

  are Raisonance products - so you should contact Raisonance for support

As Raisonance is a competitor for Keil, it's not surprising that the RLink isn't supported in Keil!

A genuine ST-Link is only ~$20; Chinese imitations are just a couple of dollars.

I know, I know, I know...

I purposely mentioned ST7 as it's ST product. Also the target MCU i.e. STMF107 is a ST product. That's why I posted the topic here. I believe it's right place where experienced people share theirs ideas and concerns....

I already mentioned that I can hack the PCB and connect external programmer and looking for an alternative, more subtle way to achieve the same goal.
