<p>I've never used a microcontroller before. I recently bought an STM8S to teach myself, and I've figured out how to do a lot of things with the onboard LED. Which pins do I use to attach more LEDs? (for example to GPIO_PIN_1 on GPIOD)</p>

<p>I'm relatively new to this and I was curious as to how people generally connect the pins on the project board to a workspace like a breadboard for prototyping.</p>

<p>The compiler/I.D.E. downloaded from ST are Windows only.</p> <p>Do they work on Linux with Wine?</p> <p>There is some native Linux alternative?</p>

<p>I've used 8-bit microcontrollers before. Specifically, I'm familiar with the PIC 18F family from Microchip. Aside from being cheap and coming with a programmer as part of the package, why should I learn the STM8S family of processors? What are the compelling features of the development package and the microcontrollers?</p>

<p>The STM8S-Discovery has a JTAG port for programming the STM32F103C8T6 ST-LINK part of the board. Though there is only the USB connection, two I/O lines (for the SWIM interface) and a LED which are easily accessible (plus the JTAG lines themselves once programmed) it could still be fun to play with - a single STM32 chip costs more than the STM8S-Discovery.</p> <p>With a recoded STM32 it should be possible (with appropriate rewiring and bridging software) to USB enable the STM8S as a HID or CDC (Serial) device thru the STM32.</p> <p>Does anyone have any information or pointers to software and hardware needed to program the STM32? Is anyone using the STM8S-Discovery as an STM32 development plaform?</p> <p>If anyone can work out how to use one Discovery ST-LINK to program another that would be very useful. Ideally it would just need one ST-LINK JTAG port linking to the other.</p>

<p>The STM8S-Discovery is designed to snap apart into two boards, the programmer and the one with the MCU itself. What do I do to use them together after snapping them apart?</p>

<p>I am writing some bit-banged serial code which works when run on the STM8S-Discovery so I know the code's timing is correct ( within +/-5% ), but when simulating in Ride the elapsed time bears no relationship to what it is in practice. The code loop takes 208us approximately but the elapsed time shows "0s.000m.155". Running at 16MHz on the chip and in simulator.</p> <p>Does anyone know what I am doing wrong or how to get more correct timing?</p>
