![]() ![]() ![]() They are manufactured using ST-proprietary 130 nm embedded non-volatile memory technology and support fast and safe development through enhanced stack pointer operations, advanced addressing modes, and new instructions. The STM8 family of microcontrollers comprises the STM8S, STM8L, and STM8AF series of microcontrollers which are implemented around a high-performance 8-bit core and come with a state-of-the-art set of peripherals. To benefit from the ease of programming offered by the Arduino IDE, communities around different microcontrollers build compatibility tools and one of the latest is the Sduino tool developed by Michael Mayor to facilitate programming of STM8 microcontrollers using the Arduino IDE. The success of the Arduino boards and related microcontrollers like the Atmega328p can be attributed to the versatility and ease of programming it brings, and one can easily link the success of more than 70% of microcontrollers/dev boards that have attained a level of popularity similar to the Arduino, to their compatibility with the Arduino IDE. ![]() While full-time embedded firmware developers like me may always have one thing or the other against the Arduino IDE, the truth is, the IDE remains one of the most versatile and widely used embedded development platforms in the world today.
