AN2752 Setting up the STM8 development environment
Doc ID 14651 Rev 3 31/42
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.
The STM8 firmware library includes several examples for each peripheral plus one
workspace containing a project which is already configured for the dot-matrix-display of the
STM8 evaluation board. It is located in the firmware subdirectory \Project\Cosmic (see
Figure 20).
