Product details
Overview
STR7-RVDK from STMicroelectronics is a discontinued ARM RealView® Developer Kit tailored for STR7-series ARM7TDMI-based microcontrollers, including RealView ICE-ME hardware debugger, RealView Debugger software, and RVCT C compiler with -O1 optimization level and 45-day trial license.
For engineers reviewing the STR7-RVDK datasheet, STR7-RVDK pinout, STR7-RVDK application, or STR7-RVDK equivalent, this kit delivers integrated JTAG-based debug, compile-and-load workflow, and ST-specific MCU initialization support - critical for embedded firmware bring-up, peripheral driver validation, and real-time interrupt latency testing on STR71x/STR73x devices.
Technical Context
The STR7-RVDK implements an in-circuit debugging environment centered on ARM's RealView ICE-ME emulator, which connects via USB host to PC and standard 20-pin JTAG interface to target STR7 boards. It supports full run-control (halt/resume), hardware/software breakpoints, and memory/register inspection.
RealView Debugger provides source-level debugging with symbol-aware stepping across C and assembly, while RVCT v3.x tools deliver ANSI/ISO C90 compliance, Thumb/ARM instruction set support, and linker-controlled section placement - all preconfigured for STR7 startup code, vector table mapping, and flash programming algorithms.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| JTAG Interface | Standard 20-pin ARM JTAG connector; enables direct boundary-scan access to STR7 core and peripherals during debug sessions. |
| Debugger Hardware | RealView ICE-ME unit included; provides clock-synchronized JTAG communication up to 10 MHz, supporting SWD-compatible probe modes. |
| C Compiler | RVCT v3.1 with -O1 optimization; generates compact, deterministic code suitable for STR7's 64–256 KB Flash and 16–64 KB SRAM constraints. |
| Licensing | 45-day trial license for RealView Debugger and RVCT; Basic Edition (STR7-RVDK/BAS) includes one-year renewable license. |
| Target Support | Pre-integrated support for STR710, STR711, STR712, STR730, STR750, and STR752 families; includes device-specific startup files and linker scripts. |
| Debug Speed | Basic Edition limited to 25% of full-speed JTAG download; impacts firmware load time and single-step responsiveness during iterative development. |

FAQ
Is STR7-RVDK compatible with STR9 microcontrollers?
No. STR7-RVDK is explicitly intended for STR7-family ARM7TDMI MCUs only. While STR79-RVDK supports both STR7 and STR9, the STR7-RVDK variant lacks the STR9-specific initialization code, memory map definitions, and trace macrocell configuration required for STR9's ARM966E-S core and Embedded Trace Macrocell™.
Does STR7-RVDK include C++ compilation capability?
No. The base STR7-RVDK does not include C++ support. C++ extension requires separate ordering of STR79-RVDK/CPP. The included RVCT compiler supports only ANSI/ISO C90 and ARM assembly; no STL, exception handling, or RTTI features are enabled or licensed.
Can STR7-RVDK be upgraded to full STR79-RVDK functionality?
Yes. STR7-RVDK users may order STR79-RVDK/UPG to upgrade from Basic Edition to Full Edition, gaining full -O2 optimization, unrestricted JTAG speed, and extended RealView Debugger license. This upgrade retains existing ICE-ME hardware and integrates seamlessly with installed STR7 project environments.
What alternatives exist now that STR7-RVDK is obsolete?
ST recommends migrating to Keil MDK-ARM with ST's STR7 Device Family Pack, which provides CMSIS-compliant startup code, HAL drivers, and µVision debugger integration. Legacy projects may continue using STR7-RVDK with archived RVCT v3.1 toolchains and ST-provided STR7 firmware libraries hosted on st.com/mcu archive portal.
