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.
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.
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 the
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,
and www.iar.com.
STM8 assembler linker
Free assembly toolchain included in the STM8 toolset, which allows users to assemble and
link their application source code.
