STMicroelectronics STM8 Now Supported by the IAR Embedded Workbench development tool suite. Sweet!

The STMicroelectronics STM8 8-bit family of microcontrollers is now supported by the IAR Embedded Workbench. The initial release is v1.10.

The IAR Embedded Workbench is based upon their optimizing C compiler and includes full support for all devices in the STM8A, STM8L, and STM8S families.

Key features of IAR's Embedded Workbench for the STM8 include:

Integrated development environment with project management tools and editor
STM8 optimizing C compiler
STM8 configuration files for all STM8 devices
STM8 Run-time libraries
STM8 Relocating assembler
Linker and librarian tools
IAR C-SPY debugger and STM8 core and peripheral simulation
Support for RTOS-aware debugging on hardware
Example projects and code templates
User and reference guides in PDF format
Context-sensitive online help

Devices supported at this time include:

A free fully-functional 30-day evaluation version of the development tool suite is available from IAR.

IAR also offers a free version of the Embedded Workbench for the STM8 microcontroller. Called the Kickstart Edition, it has an 8K code size limit and does not include source code for runtime libraries.
