sdcc support for standard peripheral library?

[BSerb]

The standard library for stm8 can only use Cosmic, Raisonance and IAR compilers, which are all either non-free or limited in some way or another. Is there a plan to include support for sdcc (or at least a way to use it)?

From my limited experience with STM8 devices, I would say no.

STM8 devices seem to be almost unknown in the hobbyist/amateur world, I only know of commercial projects and devices.

Perhaps a ST employee can prove me wrong.

I would not put my trust in a SDCC version, but try to modifiy the existing lib code.

BTW, I used Raisonance at times for a commercial project. It worked, but I wouldn't really recommend it.

Hi,

the COSMIC "C" cross-compiler for STM8 is free without code limits, but with the only obligation of annual renewal of the license for use,

You can download it here:

Unfortunately it's only available for Windows machines.

Just for curiosity - why not switching to a core with better support, like the Cortex M0 ?

When working with the STM8 a few years ago, I got the impression ST does not target (care about) hobbyists at all. Guess this has not changed since.

It looks different for Cortex M devices.
