Product Review - STM8S- Discovery by ST Microelectronics
— March 8, 2014ST Microelectronics has launched variety of low cost Discovery boards to evaluate stm series of 8 bit and 32 bit Microcontrollers. On the same lines stm8s-discovery board halps you to discover the features of stm8s series of microcontrollers by ST Micro. Using this ~$8 board you can learn various features of associated microcontrollers, develop your own 8 bit control applications.
Even though the STM8S-DISCOVERY is built around an STM8S105C6T6, it allows evaluation of the main features of all the STM8S Access line MCUs. It includes an embedded debugger ST-Link, and a touch sensing button.
The STM8S-DISCOVERY simply plugs into a PC through a standard USB cable. Numerous applications are available from the STM8S-DISCOVERY web page at http://st.com/stm8s-discovery.
Product Packaging
The stm8s-discovery comes into a beautiful blister package with getting started instructions printed on the backside of information leaflet. The tile of the leaflet says “Everything to discover the STM8S”.
