Read me first RN0013
1 Read me first
This section provides important information about STVD Release 4.3.2.
1.1 Host PC system requirements

PC and compatibles running with:
● Windows XP, Vista® and Windows Seven 32-bit operating systems (for all targets)
● Windows XP, Vista® and Windows Seven 64-bit operating systems (for simulator,
STice, RLink and ST-LINK targets only).
Note: 1 Administrator privileges are required to install STVD and to connect emulators to the USB
port for the first time. Power user or administrator privileges are required to run STVD.
2 Under the Vista operating system and Windows 7, you must run STVD as administrator. You
can either turn off the User Account Control feature (not recommended), or use the Run as
Administrator command from the contextual menu, then Allow execution.
1.2 Emulation hardware support

This version includes the ST7 simulator (no emulation hardware required) and supports
certain ST7-EMU2 (HDS2) emulators with active probes, all generations of ST7-DVPx
emulators, ST7-EMU3 series emulators and in-circuit debugging with the ST7-EMU3 with
ICC Add-on, the ST7-DVP3 series emulators, the Raisonance RLink, ST7-STICK, ST-LINK,
and the STice advanced emulation system.
Listings of supported ST7 and STM8 devices for each STVD debugging target (emulators,
ICD and Simulator) are provided in Section 2.2 on page 8.
1.3 About using the Cosmic C toolset

STVD Release 4.3.2 was validated using the Cosmic C toolset versions 4.3.5 for STM8. In
order to use the Cosmic C toolset with STVD, the cvdwarf.exe Cosmic convertor is needed
to generate the .elf debug information files required by STVD. The cvdwarf.exe Cosmic
converter is included in the Cosmic C toolset versions 4.2a and later. You can download this
or a later version from: www.cosmic-software.com.
1.4 About using the Metrowerks C toolset

STVD is no longer validated with Metrowerks C toolset.
6/40 Doc ID 12917 Rev 24

RN0013 What’s new in STVD Release 4.3.2?
Note: 1 Industry standard ELF/Dwarf format is the default output format for Metrowerks C toolset.
When building, the -f2 option for the C compiler and the lib.e20 library are chosen by
default.
2 For reasons of legacy compatibility, the Metrowerks C toolset and STVD continue to support
the proprietary Hiware format. However, Hiware format users must use a script link file in the
Project Settings interface when building their applications.
3 Any references to “Metrowerks” and “Hiware” in STVD software, examples and
documentation refer to the Metrowerks C toolset.
1.5 About using the Raisonance C toolset

STVD Release 4.3.2 was validated using version 2.32 of the Raisonance C toolset. In order
to use the Raisonance C toolset with STVD, the omf2elf.exe Raisonance convertor is
needed to generate the .elf debug information files required by STVD. The omf2elf.exe
Raisonance converter is included in the Raisonance C toolset.

RN0013 Known problems/limitations
3 Known problems/limitations
3.1 Known problems/limitations for STVD installer

● You must install STVD prior to connecting a debug instrument to the host PC's USB
port, in order to have the necessary driver.
● The USB driver for the Raisonance RLink is not installed upon installation of STVD.
After installing STVD, RLink users must install the RLink USB driver by selecting
Start>ST7 Toolset>Setup>Install RLink driver.
3.2 Known problems/limitations for STVD interface

The include files provided upon installation of STVD are not the same as those required
when using the ST7 Library or STM8 Library. ST7 and STM8 library users should refer to
the appropriate ST7 or STM8 library documentation for information about the correct include
files to use.
3.2.1 Cosmic C toolset

In the Cosmic Linker for STM8 microcontrollers, the .const segment must be located in the
first 64 Kbyte segment. This is mandatory because the Cosmic toolset cannot link an
interrupt handler that is not located in segment 1.
3.2.2 Metrowerks C toolset

Note: STVD is no longer validated with Metrowerks C toolset.
● The automatic generation of the linker PRM file can only be used when generating an
executable in ELF/DWARF 2.0 format. For Hiware format, users must use a written
PRM file.
● Using the -StatF= option with Hiware format may cause a failure during linking. The
executable is not produced.
● When using the recommended ELF format and STVD include files, a link error L1818
may be generated due to paginated registers. You can add the option -wmsgsi1818
as a user-defined option. This option converts the error to a warning message only.
3.3 Known problems/limitations for debug interface

● When the program is stopped on a breakpoint set on a function name, the displayed
argument values may be false.
● When .hex or.s19 files are loaded outside of any workspace, an error message is
displayed, but it is meaningless.
● Double type” variables are referred as “float type” variables.
● The const variable qualifier is not displayed.
● Only one instance of STVD can run on your PC at any given time.
● Reduced user access rights to the database registry or to the STVD install directory
can impede the normal use of STVD. A warning message occurs if a read/write access
problem occurs.
Doc ID 12917 Rev 24 15/40

Known problems/limitations RN0013
3.4 Known problems/limitations for STice targets
3.4.1 Trace
Trace activation is only possible through the advanced debug machine (ADM) interface on
STice emulator, not through the simplified one.
3.4.2 NEM breakpoints

NEM breakpoints on data access are limited to the memory area range [0-0x7FFF], NEM
breakpoints on opcode fetch are limited to addresses higher than 0x7FFF.
3.4.3 Profiler
● Coverage and profiling functionality is limited to core running at up to 24 MHz.
● Code occurrence and time profiling limitations:
– Whatever the time profiling mode, the profiler does not profile the first or the first
two instructions after a breakpoint.
– It also does not profile correctly the last or the last two instructions before a
breakpoint.
– The number of occurrences of an interrupted instruction may be false. In
particular:
The occurrence number of the WFE instruction is doubled.
The occurrence number of an IRET instruction may be null if it is always executed
in a shortened way. A shortened IRET is an IRET which is executed in one cycle
only because of a pending interrupt being serviced immediately after.
In some rare cases, the occurrence number of an interrupted instruction is
doubled.
● Contrarily to what is said in the online help, the Subroutine mode (interrupt time
excluded) is not available in this release. Only the Subroutine and Interrupt mode
(interrupt time included) is available.
● Time profiling limitations in Instruction mode:
Context saving time is added to the interrupted instruction time.
● Time profiling limitations in the Subroutine and Interrupt mode:
– The time for recursive functions is not correct.
– The longjmp C library routine should not be used otherwise the results will be
erroneous.
– The results may be incorrect with the Raisonance compiler if it calls a library
routine which uses the stack in a nonstandard way.
– For code written in assembly language, the subroutine modes work only if routines
use the stack in a standard way. To be certain there is no problem, make sure that
each routine is called by a call instruction and that it returns to its caller by a return
instruction.
– In the case of pending interrupts resulting in the occurrence of several immediately
consecutive interrupts, the time of the interrupted instruction doesn't include all the
time spent in the interrupts.
– Similarly an IRET followed immediately by a pending interrupt is seen as
interrupted and its time includes the time of the following interrupt.
16/40 Doc ID 12917 Rev 24

3.4.4 USB
USB communications may sometimes be lost in full speed mode (12 Mbit/s), depending on
the frame length. It is recommended to use the STice on a PC supporting USB high speed
communications (480 Mbit/s).
3.5 Known problems for STM8-ICD-SWIM targets

● The debugger needs to unlock the Flash and data EEPROM memories each time the
user application stops; in order to avoid conflict with the application, avoid stepping or
stopping in the portion of code managing the MASS key sequences (if any).
● When starting a debug session in hotplug mode, a watchdog timeout reset may occur if
the application previously activated the watchdog.
3.6 Known problems/limitations for ST7-EMU3 targets

● When the emulated MCU is executing a Halt or Wait for Interrupt instruction and
application execution is stopped using Debug>Stop Program or an external trigger,
upon continuation, certain counters like timers and watchdog will have increased or
decreased by several pulses.
● The Time Stamp in the Trace window includes Discarded events, including those used
by the emulator at a break in execution (breakpoint) and when stepping through the
code. The time stamps that result from stepping through a section of code will differ
from those that result if the same code is run normally. The time stamps are not
recalculated when filtering is used to remove events from the Trace display.
● When the microcontroller is in a Halt state, it is not possible to reset it using the LVD
RESET command from STVD’s Hardware Simulation window.
● Writing to Flash program and EEPROM program non-volatile memory via the
associated control registers are not emulated. The default memory mapping
configuration for these areas is read only, however they can be changed to R/W (RAM)
if necessary.
● Target MCUs, the Reset vector is not displayed in Trace Window.
● When using an I2C or DDC peripheral, use a pull-up resistor of 1.5 kOhms or less.
● The Performance Analysis has the following limitations:
– Performance Analysis does not work properly if the portion of code analyzed has
entry/exit points not monitored by the Performance Analysis tool.
– Timestamp discontinuity can occur when the required number of passes on a
code fragment is too large.
Note: The command Debug Instrument>Debugging discrepancies displays the differences
between the emulation system and the target MCU.
Doc ID 12917 Rev 24 17/40

3.6.1 ST7MDT10-EMU3
● The following limitations are not included in the Debugging discrepancies window:
– All ST7FLITE devices (except the ST7226x): When using PA4 and PA6 as input for
VIL = 0.4V there is an IIL current of 200 µA.
– All ST7FLITE1B devices: The analog comparator is not emulated. As a result
these registers have been mapped as non-existent registers (NER), and a break in
execution will occur if they are accessed by the application. If the users application
uses these registers, they can be mapped to read/write in the Memory Mapping
window so that a break will not occur when they are accessed.
● When emulating the ST72F26xx family with the ST7MDT10-EMU3 emulator, the
memory area from 0xd760 to 0xDEDF is typically defined as non-existent memory
(NEM). Do not change this, as the emulator cannot interpret instructions in this zone.
● AWU RC calibration is not supported because this RC is emulated by a fixed frequency
from an oscillator.
● RC oscillator and the input capture are not connected for the auto-reload timer.
3.7 Known problems/limitations for ST7-DVP3 targets

● When the emulated MCU is executing a Halt or Wait for Interrupt instruction and
application execution is stopped using Debug>Stop Program or an external trigger,
upon continuation, certain counters like timers and watchdog will have increased or
decreased by several pulses.
● Upon wake up from a Halt or Wait for interrupt state, if STVD stops execution on a
breakpoint that has been set on the first instruction of an interrupt routine, the position
of the program counter (PC) in relation to the last instruction executed is incorrect (PC
stops one address prior to the address of the break point). To avoid this, users should
not set breakpoints on the first instruction of the wake up interrupt routine.
● The minimum frequency for DVP3 emulators is 2 MHz, instead of 500 KHz.
● When using an I2C or DDC peripheral, use a pull-up resistor of 1.5 kOhms or less.
● In the hardware event window if you change the event type the address of the hardware
event is incremented automatically.
3.7.1 ST7MDT10-DVP3
● The following limitations are not included in the Debugging discrepancies window:
– All ST7FLITE devices (except the ST7226x): When using PA4 and PA6 as input for
VIL = 0.4 V there is an IIL current of 200 µA.
– All ST7FLITE1B devices: The analog comparator is not emulated. As a result
these registers have been mapped as non-existent registers (NER), and a break in
execution will occur if they are accessed by the application. If the users application
uses these registers, they can be mapped to read/write in the Memory Mapping
window so that a break will not occur when they are accessed.
● AWU RC calibration is not supported because this RC is emulated by a fixed frequency
from an oscillator.
● RC oscillator and the input capture are not connected for the auto-reload timer.
Note: The command Debug Instrument>Debugging discrepancies displays the emulation
limitations that are specific to the target MCU.
18/40 Doc ID 12917 Rev 24

3.8 Known problems/limitations for ST7-ICD targets

● The following apply when in-circuit debugging of applications on XFlash devices
without a debug module (ST72FLITE0/S and ST72F26x):
– Flash memory from FF12-FFDF is used for the debug monitor (ST7FLITE0/S).
– Stop Program is not possible (error and loss of communication with the target).
– Advanced Breakpoints are not possible (feature cannot be accessed in the GUI).
– Instruction Breakpoints in the Flash sector 0 are not possible (error message).
– Stepping in the Flash sector 0 is not possible (results in an error message).
● You must install STVD prior to connecting a debug instrument to the host PC's USB
port, in order to have the necessary driver.
● Some changes made to the MCU memory mapping in STVD are not taken into account
during in-circuit debugging as they are controlled by the device’s option byte.
● The Step Over command does not work properly when timer interrupt frequency is too
high. As a workaround, select Debug Instrument>Stepping Mode and change the
mode to Don’t Enter Interrupts When Stepping Into.
● The TRAP instruction generated by a software breakpoint can set off a hardware
breakpoint when the hardware breakpoint points to an address in the stack. When this
happens the application crashes. The program counter’s (PC) real position is not the
same as the position reported in the Disassembly window. Before continuing, reset the
position of the PC:
– by entering the desired position for the PC in the Program Counter field of the
ST7 Register window, or
– by highlighting the position in the Disassembly window and clicking on Set PC.
Workaround: Do not set hardware breakpoints in the stack when using software
breakpoints, or when the Stepping mode is set to Don’t Enter Interrupts When
Stepping Into.
Note: The command Debug Instrument>Debugging discrepancies displays the emulation
limitations that are specific to the target MCU.
3.9 Known problems/limitations for ST7-EMU2 (HDS2) targets

● When using an I2C or DDC peripheral, use a pull-up resistor of 1.5 KOhms or less.
● No time indication is recorded and displayed in the trace window.
● Clear Trace command does not work properly.
3.9.1 ST7263x-EMU2 emulator

● Timer A behaves incorrectly.
Doc ID 12917 Rev 24 19/40

3.9.2 ST7MDTU5-EMU2B emulator

ST72652 and ST72F652 are supported by this emulator, but with the following limitations
due to problems/limitations with some versions of the target MCU:
● Normally ADC, I2C and PWM are not available for these sale types, but they are still
present when ST72652 is selected in the MCU Configuration window.
● Options bytes are not user-configurable at present. Refer to the ST7MDTU5-EMU2B
(HDS2) Emulator User Manual for details.
3.10 Known problems/limitations for ST7-DVP/DVP2 targets

● A complete host PC crash may occur if you power off the development kit board during
an STVD session. In particular, if you change from Debug mode to Build mode, then
power off your development kit board, and then attempt to re-enter Debug mode (with
your development kit board powered off), a total host system crash will occur.
● The CPU frequency (FCPU) of the emulated device must be set in a range from 500
KHz to 8 MHz even if Slow mode is selected.
The link between FCPU and CLOCK is: FCPU = (CLOCK / 2) / Slow mode (e.g. If you
use a 5MHz external clock it is possible to select Slow mode factor 8, but not factor 16).
3.11 Known problems/limitations for simulators

Known problems or limitations on all microcontrollers:
● When exporting graphed information from the Plotter window to VCD file, select an item
with all its subitems, or all plotted items to ensure that no information is lost. Time
information loss may occur when exporting selected subitems within an item.
Known problems or limitations on ST7 microcontrollers:
● The following is the list of peripherals that are supported during simulation:
• ADC • Main Clock Controller
• Autoreload Timer (for ST7FLITEx) • PWM Autoreload Timer
• Beep • Real Time Clock
• EEPROM • SCI
• I2C • SPI
• I/O Ports • Timer
• Lite Timer (for ST7FLITEx) • Watchdog
● Known peripheral problems/limitations: there is a conflict between ports and
peripherals for pin access. No arbitration is done by the Simulator. If you use a
peripheral, do not use the pins which are connected to this peripheral as standard
input/output pins.
Known problems or limitations on STM8 microcontrollers:
● The STM8 instruction simulator is not accurate in terms of number of cycles. The
number of cycles given for an instruction is the minimum number of cycles found in the
programming manual. It does not take into account possible slowdowns in the pipeline
execution.
● STM8 peripherals are not supported. However, in addition to instruction set simulation,
interrupts are supported through pseudo pins IRQ0 to IRQ29.

● The Raisonance C toolset for STM8
● STice advanced emulation system
You can access the full set of configuration features from the Project Settings interface.
Improvements
● The Cosmic C compiler setting for the memory model is now consistent with the startup
file. For example, in an ST7 project, selecting the Long Stack memory model will
trigger crtsx.st7 at startup.
● In the Cosmic Linker, for all toolsets, the Default button now sets correctly the default
startup file according to the memory model. For example, in an STM8 project, if the
current memory model is Long Stack, clicking on the Default button will set the startup
file to crtsi.sm8, which is the default value for that model.
Corrections
This release includes a number of small corrections that occurred only in marginal
configurations of use.
28/40 Doc ID 12917 Rev 24

Improvements
● The Find in Files feature now proposes the path of the previous search, except if the
current project has changed, in which case the path of the current project is proposed.
● The list of microcontrollers in the MCU Selection dialog box is dependent on the
toolset: only the microcontrollers supported by the selected toolset are listed.
● Simulator provides full support for all new features of Lite1B auto-reload timer:

Doc ID 12917 Rev 24 29/40

Improvements
● A new option on the Edit/Debug tab allows you to select the behavior of the system
before building a project or before starting a debug session. You can either request to
be prompted to save your files (Prompt before Saving Files option), or select to save
files automatically (Automatic File Saving option).
● In the project settings window, the Linker tab/general category options now show the
list of linked standard libraries.
● In the project settings window, STVD7 prompts you for confirmation when you create a
section in the linker/input that has the same name as an existing section. Previously
this operation was not allowed.
● When you change the selected MCU, you get a message warning you that some of the
build options might be replaced by the default settings for that type of circuit.
● The menu option and window title Emulation Discrepancies has been renamed and is
now called Debugging Discrepancies.
● The debugging discrepancies feature has been extended to the simulator. For some
circuits, the Debugging Discrepancies window lists the limitations pertaining to the
simulated circuit.
● Support for booleans with the Cosmic C compiler. There is however, a limitation
because boolean variables are not properly initialized.
● In the simulator, you can generate interrupt requests from the I/O stimulation window.
This is done by changing the value of the IRQx pseudo pin. This feature is useful for
debugging code that manages non-simulated peripherals.
Corrections
Corrections in this release include the following major fixes:
● The update of the STM Parallel driver version 1.2 (a driver used by some third-party
tools and installed with STVD7 prior to version 2.0) under Windows XP Service Pack 2,
no longer causes a crash during installation.
● Initial project settings are properly restored when Cancel is done after selecting Default
settings.
● Link file modifications are automatically taken into account in the list of build
dependencies.
● When opening a project, a warning message is displayed when a file that was part of
the project no longer exists. This message is no longer displayed each time the project
is opened.
● The following problems related to wrap executable projects have been corrected:
– The Export Makefile option is disabled, thus avoiding a system crash.
– The pathname for the executable file is now relative to the projected path, which
makes it easier to transfer projects from one computer to another.
– When creating a wrap executable project, the interrupt vector file is no longer
added.
When starting a debugging session, a message was displayed to indicate that the
debugging information could not be found. This message is no longer displayed.
