Nucleo kits for STM8 MCUs
Dear STM8 fans,
Let me inform you, that STMicroelectronics extended hardware tools ecosystem available for STM8 MCUs by introducing two STM8 Nucleo-64 kits:
and .Each of these Nucleo kits contains STM8 device in LQFP64 package (either STM8L152R8T6 with 64kB Flash or STM8S208RBT6 with 128kB Flash). All MCU's pins are available on the ST morpho connectors. Additionally Arduino UNO connectors allow easy stacking of Arduino shields.
MCU is connected with some external circuitry: two buttons (user and reset), LEDs (two user LEDs), 32.768kH LSE crystal (only in NUCLEO-8L152R8) and ST-Link programmer/debugger.
Embedded ST-Link allows programming and debuggin of STM8 MCU on Nucleo kit as well as STM8 MCU in user's application.
Additionally ST-Link works as a Virtual COM Port and acts as a UART bridge between MCU and PC.
We hope you will enjoy using these two new tools.

ST invests into new dev tools so it seems that 8 bitters are not going to die soon (because of 32 bitters)
Should we expect STM8 Nucleo-32 as a next logical move then?

Hello Bogdan,
You can expect more hardware and software tools for STM8 MCUs from ST in future.

Dear Szymon,
is it already known when development boards for the 8-pin devices will be released?
Will STVD add support for other compilers, such as SDCC or IAR?

Hello Philipp,

There will be a low-cost development board for the 8-pin STM8 MCUs from ST, but timeframe of its official introduction and mass-market availability is not fixed yet.
Will STVD add support for other compilers, such as SDCC or IAR?
Accoridng to my knowledge there are no ongoing actions related to adding more compilers to STVD IDE.

It is good to see ST releasing new STM8 boards. I wouldn't hold my breath for more NUCLEO boards in the near future though. However, there are the third-party Ardunio-compatible sduino UNO and sdunio MB 208 boards, that do fill gaps in the NUCLEO range:

For those preferring to do bare-metal programming instead of using the Ardunio compability libraries, I finally wrote some simple tutorials targeting the 2 NUCLEO and the 2 sduino boards:
