Caution: It is recommended to place the SWIM header as close as possible to the STM8S device, as
this minimizes any possible signal degradation caused by long PCB tracks.
8.2 Emulator STice
8.2.1 STice overview
The STice is a modular, high-end emulator system which connects to the PC via a USB
interface, and to the application board in place of the target microcontroller.
It is supported by the free STM8 toolset: IDE ST visual develop (STVD) programmer, ST
visual programmer (STVP) and STM8 assembler. Please refer to the STice emulator for
STM8 for more details.
