Getting started with stm8s103f3p6 low cost development board

Get started in easy steps with stm8s103f3p6 low cost development board

Buy the STM8 board here (0.7$ Including shipment to your country) : Link

Step 1:

          Download  STVD-STM8
http://www.st.com/en/development-tools/stvd-stm8.html
          (it does not have a compiler so we need to use any other compiler , I have used cosmic)

          Download the cosmic compiler , get the license file .
http://cosmicsoftware.com/download_stm8_free.php

Step 2:
          Install Cosmic Compiler &  STVD

Step 3:
          Start a New project

Select the workspace

 Select The Tool Chain

 Select the controller

Step 4 :             

Add headerfile for the controller  “STM8S103F.h”, all header files are here 
C:\Program Files (x86)\STMicroelectronics\st_toolset\include

Step 5:
               copy the code & build  ..    When asked point out the cosmic license .  If asked Computer name , right click on “My computer ” or  “This PC”  ->  Properties  ,where  you can see the name .

#include <STM8S103F3P.h>

void myDelay(void);
void myDelay()
{
       int i,j;
       for(i=0;i<1000;i++)
       {
            for(j=0;j<100;)
			{
			   j++;
			}
        }
}

main()
{

    PB_DDR |=0x20;// PB.5 as Output
    PB_CR1 |=0x20;// PB.5 as Push Pull Type Output
    while(1)
    {
        PB_ODR |=1<<5;// PB.5 = 1
        myDelay();
        PB_ODR &=~(1<<5);// PB.5 = 0
        myDelay();
    }
    
}

Step 6:
            Connect the ST-Link with board ,  ( SWIM & GND Pins )

Step 7 :
           Program  Debug ..
           On Menu  “Debug Instrument ” Select  ”  Swim ST-Link”  ,
           Click Debug -> “Start Debugging ”          & to continue press ” F5″

Now you can see the LED blinking ..
