Setting up the STM8 development environment

10.2

Using the tools

Once the tools installation is complete, the ST Visual Develop (STVD) integrated

development environment can be launched.

The user then has the choice to generate either a new workspace with a new project or to

open an existing workspace. If using the STVD for the first time, it is recommended to open

an existing project from the STM8 firmware library.

Note:

Even if you are not intending to use the library, an existing library project can be used as a

template to configure all the compiler options. Enter your own code after main().

The STM8 firmware library includes several examples for each peripheral plus one

workspace containing a blank project which is ready to receive your C code. It is located in

the firmware subdirectory \Project\Template (see Figure 17). You can choose between

STVD\Cosmic, STVD\Raisonance, RIDE, or EWSTM8.
