Epilogue - STMicroelectronics STM8 Manual

Epilogue

In the end, I would like to share that my tiny raw-level knowledge and experiences with STM32s
(http://embedded-lab.com/blog/stm32-tutorials/) earlier paid off handsomely. Due to that I was able
to compiler this article decently and quickly. Personally, I feel that whosoever knows STM8 micros well
will master STM32s and vice-versa because except the cores all hardware in both architectures are
not just similar but same sometimes. This is for the first time I have admired STM's SPL. My
experiences with STM32 SPL was not well as so I decided to go on my own. However, this time things
were different. Things were joyful and less difficult.
I would like to thank a few people who influenced me in composing this article:
•
Firstly, my friends and acquaintances. I wanted to help them out and that drove me to dig
things deep.
•
Mr. Ben Ryves (benryves.com/tutorials/stm8s-discovery/).
Though his methods are different than mine, his article guided me a lot in the beginning. It is
perhaps the most popular site for tutorials on STM8s and well organized. He used STM8S105
Discovery.
•
Mark Stevens (http://blog.mark-stevens.co.uk)
His tutorials on STM8 are not based on SPL. He showed stuffs with raw-level register access
and with IAR compiler. Still his blog is informative.
•
http://www.emcu.it/. This Italian site was helpful in getting some early info.
•
STMicroelectronics team for releasing the STM8CubeMX during my writeup.
•
Cosmic team for freeing up their C compiler.
I spent nearly three months straight putting together all these things and at present, I must say that I
have great expectations from STM8 microcontrollers.
Happy coding.
