Stice Connect is ST's low-cost, full-featured emulation system that supports STM8 MCU emulation. The system supports real-time emulation, application performance analysis, code coverage analysis, unlimited instruction breakpoints, data breakpoints, advanced instruction and data breakpoints, application memory access control, 128K record tracing, real-time data memory read/write, power supply follower, 8-bit probe analyzer, input trigger, 2 output triggers, SWIM debugging and programming, and USB 2.0 (high-speed) interface to host PC.
The STICE is an advanced in-circuit emulation system from STMicroelectronics designed for STM8 microcontrollers. It provides a complete range of debugging features including advanced breakpoints, trace recording, application profiling, and code coverage analysis to help detect dead code and bottlenecks.
The system operates as a modular unit connecting to a host PC via USB 2.0 high-speed interface. It replaces the target microcontroller on an application board using specific connection accessories: a flexible cable (CF/Stice_Connect), a connection adapter (AD/Stice_Connect) for various package types, and an adapter socket (AS/Stice_Connect). The system supports non-intrusive debugging via SWIM and includes power supply follower management.
