Caution: It is recommended to place the SWIM header as close as possible to the STM8S or
STM8AF 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 that 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. Refer to the STice emulator for STM8 for
more details.
