Configuration and Programming Software (CAPS) for STR9 and uPSD


ST's Configuration and Programming Software (CAPS) provides an intuitive interface that facilitates configuration of memory, peripherals and I/Os for the STR9 and uPSD microcontroller families. CAPS also allows in-system programming using an external JTAG adapter for rapid programming of microcontrollers in a development or a production environment.

For STR9 devices, CAPS provides an easy-to-use interface that facilitates configuration of clocks, peripherals, GP I/Os and several other device parameters that are initialized by firmware at run time. CAPS then allows developers to output their configurations in a C header file for integration in the their application.

AN2361 Interfacing with the STR91x software library with CAPS - provides a specific case for using CAPS for device configuration when using the STR9 library

Project interface for saving device configurations

Device configuration

 

– Programmable logic, memory, I/Os for uPSD

 

– Clock, peripherals, GP I/Os and several other device parameters for STR9

Automatic generation of Hardware Description Language (HDL) for the PLD logic (for uPSD)

Merging of design with silicon architechture (Intel hex-format firmware file)

Programming

Runs under Windows NT (Service Pack 6), ME, 98, 2000, XP

For uPSD devices, CAPS allows easy configuration of the device's programmable logic, memory and I/Os using simple drag-and-drop and point-and-click operations. CAPS automatically generates the Hardware Description Language and maps the configuration to physical memory. The "Wizard" provides typical memory maps that can be used in their entirety, or as a starting point for customization.

Note: CAPS replaces all versions of PSDsoft Express for uPSD devices.
