13.2 Software tools
STM8 development tools are supported by a complete, free software package from STMi-
croelectronics that includes ST visual develop (STVD) IDE and the ST visual programmer
(STVP) software interface. STVD provides seamless integration of the Cosmic and Raiso
-
nance C compilers for STM8.
13.2.1 STM8 toolset
The STM8 toolset with STVD integrated development environment and STVP programming
software is available for free download at www.st.com. This package includes:
ST visual develop
Full-featured integrated development environment from STMicroelectronics, featuring:
● Seamless integration of C and ASM toolsets
● Full-featured debugger
● Project management
● Syntax highlighting editor
● Integrated programming interface
● Support of advanced emulation features for STice such as code profiling and coverage
ST visual programmer (STVP)
Easy-to-use, unlimited graphical interface allowing read, write and verification of the STM8A
microcontroller’s Flash memory. STVP also offers project mode for saving programming
configurations and automating programming sequences.
13.2.2 C and assembly toolchains
Control of C and assembly toolchains is seamlessly integrated into the STVD integrated
development environment, making it possible to configure and control the building of your
application directly from an easy-to-use graphical interface. Available toolchains include:
C compiler for STM8
All compilers are available in free version with a limited code size depending on the
compiler. For more information, refer to www.cosmic-software.com, www.raisonance.com,
