Development kit for SR5E1E5 microcontroller

Hi

 

Apologies in advance if these are daft questions, however I'm trying to put together a development kit for the SR5E1E5 .

 

I have found the SR5E1-EVBE5000P evaluation board, but need a debugger to use with it.  I assume that the ST-LINK/V2 is compatible but can someone please confirm this?  Also can the Stellar Studio All in One be used with this combination?

The SR5E1-EVBE5000P has a USB connector can I assume this does not support debugging via Stellar Studio All in One?

We already have the SPC5-UDESTK, but I assume that this is not compatible with the Stelar series of micros?

 

Thanks in advance.

Ah - I stand corrected!

Although the list of Development Tools has no mention of ST-Link - but Segger J-Link and IAR's I-Jet are in there:

PS:

I was thinking of The SPC5 family - which is  a Power PC Architecture

Doesn't look like it.
See here : https://www.st.com/en/automotive-microcontrollers/sr5e1e5.html#tools-software
Section "Hardware development tools" only lists a "StellarLINK" which is flagged as "NRND".
Just saying.

I would suggest to check out the documentation, found here : https://www.st.com/en/evaluation-tools/sr5e1-evbe5000p.html#documentation

But the UM lists standard 10-pin and 20-pin debug headers, so you can use any compatible debug pod your preferred toolchaiin supports.

I think not.

The ST-Link is for STM32 (and STM8) - the Stellar MCUs are something completely* different.

 

EDIT: Maybe not so different - see below ...

The description on ST's website says : 

SR5 E1 line of Stellar electrification MCUs, 32-bit Arm Cortex-M7 automotive MCU 2x cores, 2 MB Flash, rich analog, high-resolution timer, HSM, ASIL-D

So, expecting ST's standard debug pod for Cortex Ms to work is not unreasonable.
I didn't go into details, but statements like "
Split-lock configuration, allowing either 2 cores in parallel or 1 core in lockstep configuration" suggest it is more like a Cortex R.

STLINK-V3 is firmware locked to STM32 devices. V2 firmware can talk to devices of other brands via JTAG/SWD. . ST stlink software probably not.
