RLink Standard provides unlimited programming of a full range of microcontrollers from 8-bit to 32-bit families and real-time debugging of applications while they run on the target device.

RLink connects to microcontrollers mounted on an application or evaluation board via a range of communication protocols including:

• 20-pin JTAG for ARM® core-based devices

• SWD connection for ARM Cortex-M3 devices

• 14-pin JTAG for uPSD devices

• STMicroelectronics' SWIM

• STMicroelectronics' In-Circuit Communication

It offers unlimited programming of all supported 8-bit and 32-bit devices while driven by either the free RFlasher7 programming software or the Ride7 integrated development environment.

The RLink Standard also provides unlimited debugging of applications on supported 8-bit devices via the same connection while driven from the Ride7 integrated development environment. Debugging of supported ARM core-based 32-bit devices is limited to 32 K bytes of code in Flash or RAM.
