The KickStart Kits™ (STR711-SK/IAR, STR712-SK/IAR, STR730-SK/IAR, STR731-SK/IAR,STR750-SK/IAR and STR91X-SK/IAR) are IAR’scomplete, cost-effective solutions for startingapplication development and evaluating a fullrange of STMicroelectronic’s ARM® core-basedmicrocontrollers.
They come with all the hardware and softwareyou need to start developing applications for a fullrange of STMicroelectonic’s ARM7TDMI™ andARM966E™ core-based microcontrollers. Thekits include the KickStart Development Board withtarget microcontroller, the IAR JLink USB-to-JTAG debugger and IAR Embedded Workbench®for ARM (EWARM) integrated developmentenvironment with the 32KB KickStart version ofthe C/C++ compiler, built in Flash loader andsample projects for all device peripherals.Starter kit architectureJLink– USB-to-JTAG in-circuitdebugger/programmer integrates fully withEWARM, allowing you to download theapplication to your target and debug it while itruns on your ST ARM core-based microcontroller.
KickStart development board– evaluation boardthat provides a full range of features (I/Os, ADC,UART, SPI, I2C, USB...) to help you evaluate andstart developing applications for the includedmicrocontroller. The board is powered from theJLink’s USB connection with the host PC.IAR development software– a suite of softwaretools for all phases of application developmentthat includes:IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM integrateddevelopment environment with the KickStart32KB C/C++ compiler to build the application andthe C-SPY™ debugger for debugging theapplication while it runs on your microcontroller.
VisualSTATE® 20-state version of IAR’s graphicaldesign environment with C/C++ code generator for developing application code based onmachine states.
