Software tools
STM8 development tools are supported by a complete, free software package from
STMicroelectronics that includes ST Visual Develop (STVD) IDE and the ST Visual
Programmer (STVP) software interface. STVD provides seamless integration of the Cosmic
and Raisonance C compilers for STM8. A free version that outputs up to 32 Kbytes of code
is available.
STM8 toolset
STM8 toolset with STVD integrated development environment and STVP programming
software is available for free download at www.st.com/mcu. This package includes:
ST Visual Develop – Full-featured integrated development environment from ST, featuring
● Seamless integration of C and ASM toolsets
● Full-featured debugger
● Project management
● Syntax highlighting editor
● Integrated programming interface
● Support of advanced emulation features for STice such as code profiling and coverage
ST Visual Programmer (STVP) – Easy-to-use, unlimited graphical interface allowing read,
write and verify of your STM8 microcontroller’s Flash program memory, data EEPROM and
option bytes. STVP also offers project mode for saving programming configurations and
automating programming sequences.
C and assembly toolchains
Control of C and assembly toolchains is seamlessly integrated into the STVD integrated
development environment, making it possible to configure and control the building of your
application directly from an easy-to-use graphical interface.
Available toolchains include:
● Cosmic C compiler for STM8 – One free version that outputs up to 32 Kbytes of code
is available. For more information, see www.cosmic-software.com.
● Raisonance C compiler for STM8 – One free version that outputs up to 32 Kbytes of
code. For more information, see www.raisonance.com.
● STM8 assembler linker – Free assembly toolchain included in the STVD toolset,
which allows you to assemble and link your application source code.

Programming tools
During the development cycle, STice provides in-circuit programming of the STM8 Flash
microcontroller on your application board via the SWIM protocol. Additional tools are to
include a low-cost in-circuit programmer as well as ST socket boards, which provide
dedicated programming platforms with sockets for programming your STM8.
For production environments, programmers will include a complete range of gang and
automated programming solutions from third-party tool developers already supplying
programmers for the STM8 family.
