Tag-Connect™ Solutions for ST STM8 MCUs

Please see below for a list of Tag-Connect™ small footprint debugging/programming cable solutions for ST STM8 MCUs. Solutions may be available for different sized target board connectors, different debugging/programming protocols or different debuggers.  Solutions are also available for either “legged” or “no legs” versions of the plug-of-nails™ target board connectors. Use the debugger links to see further information on these options as applicable to particular debuggers.

Available solutions:

SWIM solutions with 6 Pin target connector

SWIM to 6 Pin Plug-of-Nails™ - No Legs

TC2030-SWIM cable for use on ST-LINK/V2 for STM8 MCUs1 x TC2030-SWIM-NL
This product is intended to temporarily hold a TC2030 -NL ("No Legs") cable in place on a PCB. This solution will help when board space is at a premium and you need a hands free solution for debugging. Supplied as pack of 3. We recommend keeping a few spare of these since the tiny boards are easy to misplace when working on the bench. For a more robust solution consider a TC2030 legged cable.
