ST STM8¶

Configuration:: platform = ststm8

The STM8 is an 8-bit microcontroller family by STMicroelectronics an extended variant of the ST7 microcontroller architecture. STM8 microcontrollers are particularly low cost for a full-featured 8-bit microcontroller.

For more detailed information please visit vendor site.

Examples ¶

Examples are listed from ST STM8 development platform repository:

Debugging ¶

PIO Unified Debugger - “1-click” solution for debugging with a zero configuration.

Tools & Debug Probes ¶

Supported debugging tools are listed in “Debug” column. For more detailed information, please scroll table by horizontal. You can switch between debugging Tools & Debug Probes using debug_tool option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File).

Warning

You will need to install debug tool drivers depending on your system. Please click on compatible debug tool below for the further instructions.

On-Board Debug Tools ¶

Boards listed below have on-board debug probe and ARE READY for debugging! You do not need to use/buy external debug probe.

Name	MCU	Frequency	Flash	RAM

Warning

Linux Users:

Install “udev” rules 99-platformio-udev.rules

Raspberry Pi users, please read this article Enable serial port on Raspberry Pi.

Windows Users:

Please check that you have a correctly installed USB driver from board manufacturer

Frameworks ¶

Name	Description
Arduino	Arduino Wiring-based Framework allows writing cross-platform software to control devices attached to a wide range of Arduino boards to create all kinds of creative coding, interactive objects, spaces or physical experiences.
SPL	The ST Standard Peripheral Library provides a set of functions for handling the peripherals on the STM32 Cortex-M3 family. The idea is to save the user (the new user, in particular) having to deal directly with the registers.

Boards ¶

Note

You can list pre-configured boards by platformio boards command or PlatformIO Boards Explorer
