Hardware programmer

The STPMC1 evaluation software can be used with either a parallel or a serial hardware

interface.

The parallel interface is provided free of charge with any STPMC1 demonstration board.

The serial interface, also providing galvanic isolation, is available as a separate

demonstration board with the code STEVAL-IPE005V1.

To communicate with the device through the evaluation software it is necessary to connect a

hardware programmer to both the PC and to the demonstration board, and then the

demonstration board must be powered on.
