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. When 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 a 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 18).
