AEK-MCU-SPC5LNKU Programmer and debugger for SPC5 automotive microcontrollers

The AEK-MCU-SPC5LNK is a debugger/programmer dongle for SPC58 automotive microcontrollers.

It consists of a passive USB-to-JTAG debugger and programmer, which provides a cost-effective, small-size, and fast-prototyping solution for any vehicle applications.

This dongle ensures short development time through easy-to-use hardware and simple software fully integrated into SPC5-Studio and AutoDevKit Studio IDEs.

The JTAG interface ensures an easy plug to any STMicroelectronics standalone automotive microcontroller and its evaluation boards (compliant with the IEEE 1149.1 JTAG protocol).

The AEK-MCU-SPC5LNK provides a virtual COM port interface that enables the host PC to communicate with the microcontroller through UART.

Two different types of dongles are available: AEK-MCU-SPC5LNK, to be used with OpenOCD, and AEK-MCU-SPC5LNKU, to be used with UDE PLS.

If you are using AEK-MCU-SPC5LNK, there is no need to install additional software. In case of issues, uninstall and reinstall the drivers as described in UM3303.

If you are using AEK-MCU-SPC5LNKU and you want to continue using UDE PLS as debugger, there is no need to install additional software. Otherwise, to use OpenOCD, refer to UM3303.

The OpenOCD drivers are freely downloadable at the following link: STSW-AEK-SPC5LNK.
