Does ST-Link/V2 support STM8S103F3 ?

[AkhilKumar]

Dear All,

I started working on the STM8S Mcu's recently. Here I have some basic queries.

1)By using this ST-Link V2 in circuit debugger and programmer. (ST-LINK/V2 - ST-LINK/V2 in-circuit debugger/programmer for STM8 and STM32 - STMicroelectronics) Can we use it for both flashing and debugging to this STM8S103F3 Mcu?

2)Can I use STVD application alone for both flashing and debugging to my Mcu? or

3)STVP application is also required? (but STVP is flash programmer right)

Please any one can guide me to get clear understandings of this queries.

Thank you in advance!

Best regards,
Akhil Kumar.

1) Yes, this is the tool for debugging and flashing.

2) STVD will flash and debug, for flashing only it doesn't look practical, go for STVP.

3) Yes if you plan to go into production, STVP also offer a command line option.

Regards.

Hello Gabs,

Thank you so much for your quick response.

Above 2 and 3 points: I have concluded like this We can flash the program to mcu using STVP and we can start the debugging using STVD in that case, right? 

Please Correct me if am wrong.

Best regards,

Akhil Kumar.

If you are only developing/debugging the code, you don't need STVP, STVD will flash de code before the debug session starts. 

You need STVP when you start production, STVP is for memory flashing only.
