REva eval board.

The REva is the Raisonance Universal Evaluation Board that has been designed for quick and easy evaluation of a wide range of microcontrollers. It is made up of a generic REva mother board with embedded RLink in-circuit programmer and debugger, and a daughter board featuring a target microcontroller.



		The Reva's key features include:

			Digital and analog I/O evaluation features including on-board LEDs, buttons, switches, external analog connector, temperature sensor and potentiometer.
			On-board I²C EEPROM and bus extension connector.
			On-board RS232 driver and DB9 connector.
			SPI, CAN and USB connections (depending on the target device).
			Embedded RLink for in-circuit debugging and in-circuit programming.
			USB powered, no external power required.
			VDD settings for 1.8v, 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers.

		External power supply (not included) characteristics are:

			9V DC output.
			2.1 x 5.5 mm jack connector with ground signal on the outside.

At the time of manufacturing, the REva and the RLink are connected to allow in-circuit debugging and in-circuit programming of the microcontroller on the REva daughter board, without additional power supply or cables. The two tools can also be easily broken apart so that both the REva and the RLink can be used independently, or together. This requires the use of the furnished connection cable and an additional external 9V power supply (not furnished) for the REva. It is advised to break only the boards apart when required by your application. When separated from the REva, the RLink has the same in-circuit debugging and programming characteristics as the stand-alone RLink version 2.0. As a result there are two possible configurations for using the REva:

REva and RLink boards are attached, no connection cable is required and power is supplied by the USB connection:

The REva is connected to the RLink, or other tool that supports in-circuit debugging and programming, via a connection cable. Power is supplied by a 9V auxiliary power supply:

is included in the different ST7/STR7 Starter Kits. RIDE is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE), a fully integrated IDE featuring color syntax highlighting editor, project manager, on-line help and full control over all the tools of the toolchain. RIDE allows to manage the In-Circuit Programming (ICP) and In-Circuit Debugging (ICD) on the REva board through the RLink. RIDE comes with a number of ST7-specific tools from Raisonance: RIDE, Assembler and Linker, Simulator, CodeCompressor and RBuilder. For more information about RIDE click here.

is a USB interface device designed by RAISONANCE that allows in-circuit debugging and in-circuit programming of various microcontrollers, including all the ST7 devices supported by RIDE. The functionalities of this embedded version of RLink are the same as the stand alone version.

The daughter boards contain all the components dedicated to a specific target, including the microcontroller itself, a clock selector and other device dependent features.

Additional ST7 and STR7 components will be soon available. Please check this web page again for more information.
