Installing STVD7
Your development kit comes with the “MCU on CD” CD-ROM which contains a
number of ST7 software tools. These tools run under the Windows® 95, 98, 2000
and Windows® NT® operating systems.
To install the software on “MCU on CD”, Windows® 2000 and NT® users must have
administrator privileges.
To install and setup the ST7 software tools, follow these steps:
1 Close all other open applications on your Windows desktop.
2 Insert the “MCU on CD” into your CD-ROM drive. The CD-ROM’s autorun
feature will open up a welcome screen on your PC. If the autorun feature does
not work, use Windows® Explorer to browse to the CD-ROM’ s root folder, and
double-click on Welcome.exe.
3 Select Install Your Development Tools from the list of options. A new screen
will appear listing the different families of STMicroelectronics MCUs.
4 Use your mouse to place the cursor over the ST7 Tools option. Choose
ST Tools, then ST7 Toolchain from the lists that appear.
