STELLARLINK vs SPC5-UDESKT

[OHarc.1]

Hello,

I've been looking for a debugger to debug and program an SPC58xx MCU and I've found you offer both the new Stellarlink and the SPC5-UDESKT. I understand the SPC5-UDESKT requires a licence to be used with the Universal Debug Engine (UDE) which are available as either a year licence or a one-time purchase. I was wondering if I would also need one of these licences to use the Stellarlink with the UDE/SPC5Studio? It looks like the Stellarlink has more features supporting your Stellar Automotive line so would you recommend this for a new debugger/programmer purchase over the SPC5-UDESKT?

Many thanks,

Owen

Is SPC56 series not compatible with StellarLink ? 

[Erwan YVIN]

Sorry , it is not compliant only SPC58

we have the openocd code for porting with you want :

So you mean to say that I have to write my own scripts (configuration files for openOCD) for SPC560P in order to make it work with SPC5Studio? 

Correct me if I am wrong. Because I can invest sometime to write the config scripts.
