STVD7 provides a graphical interface for C or Assembler coding, compiling, downloading and

debugging with ST7 Emulators. STVD7 interfaces easily with Cosmic and Metrowerks C com-

pilers. STVD7 drives all the ST development tools.

This is available on the STMicroelectronics Microcontroller Development Tools CD-ROM or

can be downloaded from http://www.st.com/mcu>ST MCU Support>Downloads>H/W and S/

W Tools.

3.2.2 ST7 Simulator

A free solution, the ST7 simulator offers the ability to develop an application by simulating the
