I'm a older Microcontrollers programer. Well my question I think is easy for you. I know program microcontrollers with machine lenguage I mean: Lda ... Sta... Txa.. I don't know use C Program lenguage. Is possible to program STM8S Discovery with Mahcine lenguage? Where i can write the program In source screen where is? Thank you

Hello,

You can program STM8x by using assembler language which is described in STM8 CPU programming manual (PM0044) available at

http://www.st.com/mcu

/index.html but you need at least STVD environment. You can find all related information by installing STVD on your computer and read the included technical documentation on how to start developping your application step by step with STVD. Regards.

Hello Angus,

Thanks, I've 4.2.0 St Visual devolop Where I can write my source code. Do you know if I need a new workspace and a new empty project Thank you for you help

Hello,

The best way is to create a workspace by the menu File\New Workspace. Then choose Create workspace icon, validate by OK. Enter a name in the dialog Box as for intance MyProject and browse the workspace location. Enter a Project Filename as for intance, Mytest. Select the Toolchain (if you select ST Assembler Linker, your file must be written in assembler only, or Raisonance/Cosmic if you want to mix C code and ASM). Select the MCU, validate by Select then OK. You can start editing the asm file or c file with your own code. Regards.

Hello,

Yes, you have to write your program in the main.asm file. You can delete lines that initializes RAM which are not mandatory. Otherwise, other method (where you can mix C and asm...) if you select STM8 Cosmic as toolchain (during project creation), you can edit the main.c file directly in assembler by adding the following directives: main() {  #asm    ..........your code in assembler here..........  #endasm  while (1); } Regards.
