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.
