I'm interested in purchasing an RLINK standard listed here However my supplier mouser has an STX-RLINK listed here While they do look very similar, the datasheet for the STX-RLINK does not mention whether it possesses SWD (two-pin software Debug). The main reason why I'm interested in purchasing the RLINK is because I'd like to play around with the STM32 micros. Does anyone know if these two products are the same i.e. RLINK standard and STX-RLINK? Thanx |
Hi,
Yes, they are the same.
In fact, all RLinks can perform SWD communication, (except the very old uPSD-only ones in the white box that have not been sold for several years now) as it is the host PC software that performs most of the work. Just make sure you download the latest version of the software from our website, as the CD inside the box might have been there for quite some time.
For STM32 (and other ARM devices too), the two devices you reference are allowed unlimited programming, and 32K-limited debugging. And they support both JTAG and SWD.
