Debug management

4.1

Introduction

The host/target interface is the hardware equipment that connects the host to the application

board. This interface is made of three components: a hardware debug tool, an SWD

connector and a cable connecting the host to the debug tool.

Figure 8 shows the connection of the host to the evaluation board (STM320518_EVAL).

The STM320518_EVAL evaluation board embeds the debug tools (ST-LINK).

Consequently, it can be directly connected to the PC through a USB cable.

Pinout and debug port pins

The STM32F0xx MCU is offered in various packages with varying numbers of available

pins.
