STMicroelectronics offers free software tools supporting its popular STM8 microcontrollers (MCUs). The Cosmic C-compiler for STM8 (COS-C-COMPILER) is unconstrained, complete, and supports all variants of the STM8 family including the largest 128-KB devices. As a result, designers can begin prototyping with these 8-bit microcontrollers for just $8, which is the price of the STM8S-DISCOVERY hardware kit for exercising the main features of STM8S Access-Line microcontrollers. The family also includes the STM8L ultra-low-power line, and the STM8AF and STM8AL automotive lines, giving a choice of over 120 device variants with versatile configurations of on-chip memory, package style, and peripherals such as communication interfaces, timers, and converters.
