one ICC cable is provided with Reva starter kit. Raisonance is sure that it works with it but doesn't give any guarantee for longer one because they didn't make serious test (stress) on that feature. For information, ST made some Lite09 programming tests with Stick and different ICC cable length four years ago. No problem has been found with 30cm, 1m, 2m and 3m cables. It doesn't mean results are identical with RLink, it depends on PC and environment, i recommend you to make some tests. Best regards Pascal
The ST-STICK is different comparing with the R-Link : STICK is plugged through parallel port with only passive components but R-Link is connected through USB and there is a ST7 onside the Rlink to interface between USB and ICC connection. Raisonance guarantee only with the ICC cable provided, but you have also to take care about the length on your PCB itself. Anyway, are you sure that no error will occur with a smaller ICC cable. Depending on your constraint you can rather increase the USB cable length. Best regards Laurent
