10 Setting up the development environment
The development environment for STM8S and STM8AF microcontroller setup looks
different, depending upon the supplier of the software (SW) and upon the hardware (HW)
tools.
Typical setups are described below for the following SW and HW tools:
• STM8 C compiler from Cosmic
• ST toolset and STM8 firmware library from STMicroelectronics
• HW debug interface “Rlink” from Raisonance
• STM8 evaluation board from STMicroelectronics
10.1 Installing the tools
All software tools are delivered with a setup wizard that 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
Rlink does not need any dedicated software installation in the STM8 development
environment because the necessary drivers are delivered with the ST toolset.
Note: These R-link drivers must be launched separately as follows:
