Grigori Goronzy d5b35cf43d Rename stc15 and stc15x protocols 
The protocol originally named "stc15" is only used for two early STC15
series, i.e. STC15F104/STC15F204. All other STC15 series appear to
use a different protocol. So switch around names similary to "stc12"
vs "stc12a".

In conclusion:
- "stc15a" is used only for STC15xx04E(A)
- "stc15" is used for all other currently tested STC15 MCUs

stcgal - STC MCU flash tool

stcgal is a command line flash programming tool for STC MCU Ltd. [1] 8051 compatible microcontrollers. The name was inspired by avrdude [2].

STC microcontrollers have a UART based boot strap loader (BSL). It utilizes a packet-based protocol to flash the code memory and IAP memory. The BSL is also used to configure various (fuse-like) device options. Unfortunately, this protocol is not publicly documented and STC only provide a (crude) Windows GUI application for programming.

stcgal is a full-featured replacement for STC's Windows software; it is very portable and suitable for automation.

Supported MCU models

stcgal should fully support STC 89/90/10/11/12/15 series MCUs.

So far, stcgal was tested with the following MCU models:

  • STC89C52RC (BSL version: 4.3C)
  • STC12C2052AD (BSL version: 5.8D)
  • STC12C5A60S2 (BSL version: 6.2I)
  • STC11F08XE (BSL version: 6.5M)
  • STC15F104E (BSL version: 6.7Q)
  • STC15F204EA (BSL version: 6.7R)
  • STC15L104W (BSL version: 7.1Q)
  • IAP15F2K61S2 (BSL version: 7.1S)

More compatibility testing is going to happen soon.

Features

  • Display part info
  • Program flash memory
  • Program IAP/EEPROM
  • Set device options
  • Read unique device ID (STC 10/11/12/15)
  • Trim RC oscillator frequency (STC 15)

Installation

stcgal requires Python 3.2 (or later) and pySerial. Apart from that, no particular installation is required.

Usage

See stcgal.py -h for usage information.

Please note that stcgal only handles raw binary encoded files at this point. You can easily convert common Intel HEX files with objcopy -I ihex -O binary input.hex output.bin.

BSL Protocol

The text files in the doc/ subdirectory provide an overview over the reverse engineered protocols used by the BSLs. For more details, please read the source code.
