In the absence of any ST documentation, I've been digging around in the ST tools installation to find some way of programming and running applications built by Makefiles. The best I can come up with so far is:

* Launch STVP and reprogram device

* Launch GDB7 and start the program running

Unfortunately the act of running GDB7 and connecting via Swim breaks the USB connection in STVP. To run another application you therefore have to close down and reopen STVP. This is a pretty slow development workflow, but I can't see any other way of working with makefile-built applications.

For those interested, the steps required to start the device running using GDB are as follows (applies to STM8S-Discovery):

gdb7.exe --command=gdbswim_stlink.ini

emulator-reset-port-mcu usb://usb stm8s105c6

run

Hi Kelvin,

you can use STVP programming toolkit to programm mcu from command line.

http://www.st.com/stonline/products/support/micro/files/um0151.exe

http://www.st.com/stonline/books/pdf/docs/11472.pdf

Command line for STM8S-Discovery:

APISample.exe -BoardName=ST-LINK -Device=STM8S105x6 -Port=USB -ProgMode=SWIM -no_loop -no_log -FileProg=myProg.s19 -FileOption=myOption.hex

To restart mcu after programming type

gdb7.exe --quiet --command=restart_mcu.ini

Content of restart_mcu.ini

<-----------schnipp------------->

#

# define emulator reset port and MCU

#

define emulator-reset-port-mcu

target gdi -dll swim\stm_swim.dll -stlink3 -port $arg0 -mcuname $arg1

mcuname -set $arg1

end

#

# reset command and quit

#

emulator-reset-port-mcu usb://usb stm8s105c6

quit

<-----------schnapp------------->

Stefan
