10 Setting up the STM8 development environment
10.1 Installing the tools
All software tools are delivered with a setup wizard which guides the user through the
installation process. It is recommended to install the tools in the following order:
1. C compiler
2. ST toolset
3. STM8 firmware library
ST-LINK does not need any dedicated software installation in the STM8 development
environment because the necessary drivers are delivered with the ST toolset.
The R-link drivers must be launched separately as follows:
Start/Programs/STtoolset/Setup/Install Rlink driver.
