What is a project?

A project is a way to automatically configure STVP each time you run it. A project exists only in a file format that contains STVP commands. This allows you to set up a programming environment and to define programming procedures by opening the project file.

A programming environment must or could include:

     The programming hardware used to program the ST microcontroller (EPB, DVP, STICK, etc.). This information is a mandatory part of the project definition.

     The PC port that the programming hardware is connected to (mandatory).

     The Programming mode used (mandatory).

     The ST microcontroller to be programmed (mandatory).

     The program file that contains the program to be programmed.

     The data file that contains the data to be programmed.

     The Option Byte file that contains the Option Byte settings to be programmed.

Programming procedures could include the following actions:

     Erase all before programming (FLASH memory device only).

     Blank check before programming.

     Verify after programming.

     Unlock protection before a programming cycle.

     Prompt for new programming cycle.

     Generate and write serial numbering.

Once the project file is open: to program a device, click on All tabs in the Program menu.
