Description STICE
2/9 Doc ID 13797 Rev 4
Description
The STice is the advanced in-circuit emulation system from STMicroelectronics. It offers a
complete range of proven debugging features such as advanced breakpoints and trace
recording. In addition, it provides new profiling and coverage capabilities to help detect and
eliminate dead code and bottlenecks in application execution.
In addition to emulation, the STice provides in-circuit debugging and programming capability
for ST microcontrollers via the ST single wire interface module (SWIM). SWIM allows non-
intrusive debugging of an application while it runs on the target microcontroller.
The STice is supported by the free STM8 toolset, which includes the ST Visual Develop
(STVD) integrated development environment for building, debugging and fine-tuning
applications, the ST Visual Programmer (STVP) microcontroller programming interface and
the STM8 Assembler.
The STice offers improved cost-effectiveness by allowing users to order exactly what they
need to meet their development requirements and to adapt their emulation system to
support existing and future ST microcontrollers. All these connection accessories and the
STice emulation boards can be ordered independently as replacement parts.
STICE Working environment
Doc ID 13797 Rev 4 3/9
Working environment
The STice is a modular emulation system that connects to a host PC via a USB interface, to
an application board in place of the target microcontroller. It is made up of:
●A main emulation board (MEB) that provides interface and emulation resources
common to all emulated MCU families,
●A target emulation board (TEB) that provides the analog emulation resources for a
specific family of microcontrollers.
It may also include a peripheral emulation board (PEB) that provides emulation resources
specific to an emulated peripheral for a microcontroller sub-family.
Figure 1. STICE and connection accessories (full emulation configuration)
For emulation, STice connects to an application board via connection accessories that you
specify when ordering the STice.
The STice emulation system and connection accessories are shown in Figure 1. The
connection accessories for emulation are:
●Connection flex (CF/Stice_Connect) – flexible cable (60- or 120-pin depending on the
target MCU) that relays signals from the STice to your application board.
●Connection adapter (AD/Stice_Connect) – adapts the connection flex either to the
target microcontroller footprint or to the SWIM connector on your application board.
●Adapter socket (AS/Stice_Connect) – socket that solders to your application board in
place of your MCU and receives the connection adapter. Sockets also allow installation
of your target microcontroller.

The free STM8 toolset provides all the software required to develop and debug applications
with STice, and to program an application to a microcontroller. Software includes:
●STVD – Integrated development environment (IDE) that runs on the host PC connected
to the emulator and allows users to edit, build and debug applications and then
program them to the target STM8 microcontroller. STVD supports the full range of
emulation and in-circuit debugging features for STice. It also offers a quick
programming interface based on STVP, for programming microcontrollers without
leaving STVD.
●STVP – Full-featured software programming interface that runs on the host PC
connected to the emulator. Provides the full range of features for device programming
including a project mode for saving programming configurations and automating
programming sequences.
