  CHARA/SPICA (Stellar Parameters and Images with a Cophased Array) is
currently being developed at Observatoire de la C\^ote d'Azur. It will be
installed at the visible focus of the CHARA Array by the end of 2021. It has
been designed to perform a large survey of fundamental stellar parameters with,
in the possible cases, a detailed imaging of the surface or environment of
stars. To reach the required precision and sensitivity, CHARA/SPICA combines a
low spectral resolution mode R = 140 in the visible and single-mode fibers fed
by the AO stages of CHARA. This setup generates additional needs before the
interferometric combination: the compensation of atmospheric refraction and
longitudinal dispersion, and the fringe stabilization. In this paper, we
present the main features of the 6-telescopes fibered visible beam combiner
(SPICA-VIS) together with the first laboratory and on-sky results of the fringe
tracker (SPICA-FT). We describe also the new fringe-tracker simulator developed
in parallel to SPICA-FT.
