1.2 Programming your microcontroller
When you are ready to program your application to your microcontroller, STVD provides a
programming interface based on ST Visual Programming (STVP) software which supports a
complete range of hardware for in-circuit, in-situ and socket programming.
1.3 Advanced debugging features
Depending on the debugging configuration you choose, STVD supports a full range of
advanced debugging features, including advanced breakpoints and trace recording. Table 3
provides a summary of STVD’s advanced debugging features for common debugging
configurations.

Debugging configuration Features
Simulator
(STVD software only)
– Data breakpoints on read/write access
– Specify the address for the stack overflow or underflow point
– Input stimulator for pin level simulations
– Plotter for view the evolution of simulated signals and the values of variables and
registers
ST7-ICD with ST7
– Unlimited software-based breakpoints
– Hardware breakpoints that can be combined to generate advanced breakpoints,
including break on: read/write access, data value at an address, a stack write,
Opcode fetch, and some combinations such as an Opcode fetch OR data access
at an address.
