Compiler error when trying to add custom source files.

[APant.1]

Hi,

I am a student who has recently started working with STM8s MCU's. Currently I am working with an STM8s207K8 Nucleo 32 development board, I am using STVD along with a cosmic toolchain to program my dev board. I am able to program the microcontroller successfully using the standard peripheral library, however when I am trying to create a custom driver the compiler throws an error stating that it can not open the specific header file, this happens when I try to add the inc and src files to the the already existing SPL files, and when I create a new folder of custom drivers and create two sub folders for inc and src files the compiler throws around 15 errors, I am attaching screenshots of the error here and also pasting the header and source files of the custom UART driver that I am trying to create.

Below is the header file for the UART driver

/********************/

//uart_driver.h

#ifndef UART_H

#define UART_H

/* Initialization */

void uart_init(uint32_t baud_rate);

/* Send Character */

void uart_send_char(uint8_t data);

/* Receive Character */

uint8_t uart_rec_char(void);

#endif

/********************/

Below is the source file for the UART driver

/********************/

//uart_driver.c

#include <uart_driver.h>

/* Initialization */

void uart_init(uint32_t baud_rate)

{

UART3_DeInit();

 UART3_Init(baud_rate, UART3_WORDLENGTH_8D, UART3_STOPBITS_1, UART3_PARITY_NO, UART3_MODE_TXRX_ENABLE);  

}

/* Send Character */

void uart_send_char(uint8_t data)

{

while (UART3_GetFlagStatus(UART3_FLAG_TXE) == RESET); //Checks if data transmission is stopped

 UART3_SendData8(data);

}

/* Receive Character */

uint8_t uart_rec_char(void)

{

uint8_t data;

 while (UART3_GetFlagStatus(UART3_FLAG_RXNE) == RESET); //Checks if data is received

data = UART3_ReceiveData8();

  

 return data;

}

/********************/

I would really appreciate it if someone could help me resolve my problem

Thanks

Start with the first error

Perhaps make sure you #include all the definitions and libraries the code in your uart_driver.c needs

[APant.1]

Hi I included the #include "stm8s.h" library in the uart_driver.c file however is is still showing one of the same errors which it was displaying yesterday, that is compiler can't open uart_driver.h. Another issue that I noticed was that once I compiled the code the uart_driver.h file disappeared from the External Dependencies folder.
