UM0036 Basic debugging features
Doc ID 7705 Rev 11 201/385
Limitations are documented in the current STVD Release Notes. When possible,
workaround procedures are provided to help minimize their impact on your project. The
release notes will also inform you of the resolution of known limitations.
Discrepancies between emulation hardware and your MCU’s behavior are provided in
STVD’s Debugging discrepancies window.
General debug limitations
In-Application Programming (IAP) limitation
STVD cannot debug IAP applications (user code that reprograms Flash memory), as the
Flash programming algorithm is not emulated nor simulated.
Debugging discrepancies window
You will find a complete list of discrepancies for your emulation hardware and target devices
in the Debugging Discrepancies window (see Figure 149). To access this window, start a
debugging session, then select Debug Instrument>Emulation Discrepancies.
Figure 149. ST7 Emulation Discrepancies window
Discrepancy information for your particular MCU and emulation hardware is uploaded at the
same time as the rest of your MCU configuration information.
