Hi there,

Sorry about this, but I appear unable to get started... I have tried compiling a number of the pre-written software such as the um0884 which should be the RS232 files... But I just cannot compile or build the projects... Ok it's been a few years, so I am a tad embarrassed by all this... Could someone point me in the right direction... I have downloaded the lastest sttoolset, and plan on using this compiler ''Cosmic CxSTM8 32K 4.3.4'' All I want to do is complile a basic programme just to familerise myself with how it all works and dump the file to the development board... Only there seems to be a lot of documentation to wad through, what should I actually be looking at...

I can reproduce the problem if I remove my License file from Cosmic install directory.

I saw in one of your previous post that you already verified that your lic file is in ''E:\Program Files\COSMIC\CXSTM8_32K\\License'' - Did you ask for this license with the PC you are currently using ? I think the best thing to do is to ask for a new license file using  ''Lmreg32k.exe'' which is located in Cosmic install dir. Keep me informed if you face any problem Regards Grom

Replaced the file with the new automatically generated one and it throw up some new issues...

It locked itself into a loop... unable to find license.... so I point it at license... press build all... unable to find license... So I have now emailed them for the license...

Obtained the new license...

I now get this...

So I presume I am now ready to download this to the STM8S-Discovery Board and start to understand how things work...

When I use the debug tool in STVD does it automatically programme the development board... or does it just use some of the features...

So do I need to actually programme the board before I can use it in standalone mode?

Posted on April 29, 2010 at 16:56 When you use the Debug mode your aplication code (Firmware) is downloaded into the Flash memory of the micro . If you close STVD or stop the debug session your firmware will remain in the memory and you will be able to run it without STVD (as ''standalone'')
