User manual

Developing and debugging your STM8L-DISCOVERY application code

Introduction

This document complements the information in the STM8L datasheets by describing the software environment and development recommendations required to build an application around the STM8L-DISCOVERY. It also explains how to use the STM8L firmware library provided by STMicroelectronics, in order to develop cost-effective applications.

In addition, ST provides a development package which can be used to build an application running on the STM8L-DISCOVERY. This package includes application code examples and a project template.

The STM8L-DISCOVERY is based on the STM8L15x MCU however it can be used to get to know the main features of other STM8L microcontrollers.

Overview of STM8 software development toolchains

●

●

To develop, compile and run an application software on an STM8L microcontroller, the following software toolchain components are required:

● Integrated development environment (IDE) composed of the ST Visual Develop (STVD) and the ST Visual Programmer software interface (STVP)

Compilers

Firmware libraries: they are optional, and allow to easily create a new application

STMicroelectronics provides a free software package (ST_toolset) including STVD and

STVP.

You may also use the IAR Embedded Workbench for STMicroelectronics STM8. This toolchain is made up of the following components:

● Integrated development environment for building and debugging embedded applications.

● Compiler

Warning: IAR Embedded Workbench supports STM8L firmware library versions 1.3.0 and higher

1.1 ST Visual Develop (STVD)

STVD is a full-featured development environment. It is a seamless integration of the Cosmic and Raisonance C compilers for STM8 microcontroller family. These compilers are free when developing code up to 16 Kbytes.

The supported compilers are the following:

● Cosmic C compiler for STM8 (free version up to 16 Kbytes of code and temporary storage of up to 32 KBytes)

●

For more information, refer to http://www.cosmic-software.com.

Raisonance C compiler for STM8 (free up to 32Kbytes of code)

●

3 Description of firmware library

Description of firmware library

The STM8L15x microcontroller family is provided with the STM8L15x standard firmware library. It is strongly recommended to use the library to develop your project as proposed in the the STM8L-Discovery development package and implemented in the Discover project

(see Section 5.1: Description of the STM8L-DISCOVERY development package ).

The development package also contains the WavesGenerator project which don’t use the

STM8L standard firmware library except for the LCD driver.

The STM8L standard firmware library is part of the STM8L-DISCOVERY development package that is available from the STM8L-DISCOVERY web page at http://www.st.com/stm8l-discovery.

Warning: Make sure you have the latest version of the STM8L standard firmware library (see http://www.st.com/mcu).

3.1 STM8L15x standard firmware library

The STM8L15x standard firmware library contains a collection of routines, data structures, and macros covering the features of the STM8L15x peripherals, as well as a description of

the device drivers (see Figure 15 ).

The STM8L15x standard firmware library allows to develop an application on any

STM8L15x device without the need for in-depth study of each peripheral specifications. It saves significant time that would otherwise be spent in coding, while simultaneously reducing application development and integration cost.

It contains a set of examples for each peripheral. All these examples are provided with workspace and project definition files for STVD and C compilers and for IAR Embedded

Workbench for STM8 to allow loading and compiling them easily into you development environment. These examples are developed to run on an STM8L15x device with

STMicroelectronics STM8L1526-EVAL evaluation board.

They have to be considered as example codes to develop your own application. Some examples have already been tailored to run on the STM8L-DISCOVERY. They are available from the STM8L-DISCOVERY web pages at http://www.st.com/stm8l-discovery.

The stm8l15x.h header file contains the definitions of constants and register structures for all peripherals. Uncomment #define USE_STDPERIPH_DRIVER when using the

STM8L15x standard firmware library. It also includes common types definition used by the peripheral drivers. In addition, stm8l15x.h must be included in your main() routine.

The stm8l15x_conf.h file of the STM8L15x standard firmware library is used to configure the library by enabling the peripheral functions that are only used by your application (see

Figure 16

).

The peripheral interrupt function file, stm8l15x_it.c, must be modified to include the code to handle the interrupts used by your application.

Each peripheral driver is made up of the following files:

● The source code stm8l15x_<periph>.c containing all the software functions required to use the corresponding peripheral.

● The header stm8l15x_<periph>.h including the peripheral function prototypes as well as the variables, constant and structures used within these functions.

The flow that must be followed to create your application software using the STM8L15x standard firmware library is described in

Section 5.3: Creating your own project

ST provides a complete development package, the STM8L-Discovery_dev. It allows to easily get started with the STM8L-DISCOVERY by simplifying application code development and execution using the standard peripherals drivers. This package can be downloaded together with the present user manual from http://www.st.com/STM8L-discovery.

The package is structured as follow:

Figure 22.

Building, debugging and running your application with STVD UM0991

Note:

with STVD

Once your have developed your application code, created your workspace environment, and launched STVD, you can start building, debugging and programming your application for the target microcontroller.

This section refers to STVD, if you are using IAR Embedded Workbench, please refer to the

IAR Getting Started documentation.

6.1 Building application

Once your project is created, the build context is enabled by default. It allows to access all the commands required to set up, customize, and build your application.

The build configuration is available by selecting Build>Configurations from the STVP main menu toolbar. It allows you to change the application building settings.

Two preset configurations are available in STVD:

● Debug

This configuration creates a version of your application that allows using all the STVD advanced debugging features. When using this configuration, output files are saved in the Debug directory in your workspace directory.

● Release

This configuration creates a version of your application that uses the default optimization for your toolset. This version of your application is ready to be programmed to your target microcontroller.

Follow the sequence below to build a project:

1.

Ensure that the Debug configuration is selected by clicking Build>Configurations. If the Debug configuration is not selected, highlight it and click Set Active (see

Figure 40

).

Figure 40.

Selecting the project configuration

2. Once the build options are correctly configured, configure your project settings: compiler, assembler, and linker. You can then customize these options. For more information on the available options for your toolset, refers to the STVD online help available by clicking Help in the STVD main menu toolbar.

3. Once your MCU is selected (Project > Settings > MCU Selection) and your building options are configured, use the Build menu to build and rebuild your application, or compile your source files (see

Figure 41

).

4. The build command lines and possible warnings and/or errors are displayed in the

build tab of the Output window (see

Several debug windows are available in STVD. You can access them by selecting View

menu when a debug session is ongoing.

One of the most useful windows is the Peripheral registers window. It can be used to display the content of the STM8L105C6 peripheral registers during the debug session. (see

Figure 44

).

The Watch window displays the values the code variables. Just drag and drop a variable from your code into the Watch window.

The information displayed in the debug windows are refreshed when the program is stopped

(for example by a break point). (see
