Product details
Overview
STR-RVICE/ME from STMicroelectronics is a hardware in-circuit debugger and programmer for ARM7TDMI- and ARM966E-based STR7 and STR9 microcontrollers, featuring USB host interface, industry-standard JTAG connectivity, 45-day trial RealView Debugger software, full-optimization C compiler, and optimum JTAG download capability.
For engineers reviewing the STR-RVICE/ME datasheet, STR-RVICE/ME pinout, STR-RVICE/ME application, or STR-RVICE/ME equivalent, this tool enables rapid firmware development, real-time debugging, flash programming, and register-level control of STR7/STR9 MCUs in embedded industrial and automotive control designs.
Technical Context
The STR-RVICE/ME implements ARM's RealView ICE Micro Edition architecture, supporting JTAG boundary-scan compliance (IEEE 1149.1) and full-speed debug access to ARM7TDMI and ARM966E cores. It delivers deterministic trace-free debug sessions with cycle-accurate breakpoints and memory inspection.
It operates as a standalone JTAG adapter-no target board power supply required-and integrates seamlessly with RealView Debugger v3.x and RVCT v3.x toolchains. The unit supports SWD-compatible signaling only via JTAG TAP controller, not as a native SWD probe.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| JTAG Interface | IEEE 1149.1-compliant, 10-pin ARM standard connector; enables direct core halt, register read/write, and memory access. |
| Host Interface | USB 2.0 Full-Speed (12 Mbps); eliminates need for serial/parallel ports and provides plug-and-play enumeration under Windows XP/Vista. |
| Target Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 5.0 V; supports STR71x, STR73x, STR75x, STR91x families without level-shifting hardware. |
| Debug Software License | 45-day fully functional trial of RealView Debugger; includes unlimited breakpoints, RTOS-aware debugging, and scriptable command interface. |
| C Compiler Inclusion | RVCT v3.1 with -O2 optimization enabled; generates compact, high-performance ARM/Thumb code for STR7/STR9 flash execution. |
| JTAG Download Speed | Optimum mode: up to 10 MHz TCK; achieves ~250 KB/s flash programming on STR912FAW46 at 96 MHz system clock. |
Availability
STR-RVICE/ME is available at Aetrix Electronics and suitable for industrial motor control, automotive body electronics, smart metering, and medical device firmware development requiring stable component supply and legacy ARM7/ARM9 toolchain continuity.
Supply support for STR-RVICE/ME includes scheduled delivery planning, volume procurement assistance, BOM continuity management, traceable sourcing, and lifecycle availability coordination for OEM customers, industrial embedded developers, connected-device designers, and electronics production programs.
Manufacturer
STMicroelectronics is a global semiconductor leader headquartered in Geneva, delivering microcontrollers, analog ICs, power devices, and embedded solutions for industrial, automotive, and consumer applications.
This part belongs to ST's legacy ARM tool ecosystem, specifically designed to accelerate development for STR7 (ARM7TDMI) and STR9 (ARM966E-S) microcontroller families before Keil MDK transition.
FAQ
Is STR-RVICE/ME compatible with modern Windows 10 or Windows 11 systems?
Yes - STR-RVICE/ME uses standard USB HID-class drivers and is supported on Windows 10/11 via ST's legacy RVDK driver package (v3.1.1), though RealView Debugger requires compatibility mode for UI rendering. No native ARM DS-5 or Keil µVision 5 integration is provided.
Does STR-RVICE/ME support SWD or only JTAG?
STR-RVICE/ME supports JTAG exclusively per ARM RealView ICE-ME specification. It does not implement Serial Wire Debug (SWD) protocol; SWD-capable debugging requires Keil ULINK2 or ST-LINK/V2 with appropriate firmware and IDE configuration.
Can STR-RVICE/ME program external NOR/NAND flash on STR9 evaluation boards?
Yes - using RealView Debugger's Flash Programmer utility, STR-RVICE/ME can program external parallel NOR flash (e.g., AM29LV160DB) and NAND flash (via STR9's FSMC interface) when configured with correct algorithm files and memory map definitions.
What is the difference between STR-RVICE/ME and STR79-RVDK?
STR-RVICE/ME is the hardware-only JTAG emulator with 45-day software trial; STR79-RVDK is the full kit including STR-RVICE/ME hardware plus perpetual licenses for RealView Debugger and RVCT compiler. STR-RVICE/ME lacks the permanent software entitlements included in STR79-RVDK.
