STM8SVLDISCOVERY
quick start guide
Introduction
The STM8SVLDISCOVERY, based on the STM8S003K3T6, is a quick-start evaluation
board for the 8-bit mainstream line of MCUs. It is the cheapest and quickest way to discover
the STM8S Value line features and performance, to program and use the device, and to
build and debug applications using the embedded debugger ST-LINK.
Simply connect the STM8SVLDISCOVERY to a PC through a standard USB cable, and run
the pre-programmed example. Once the debugger is open, you can see the real-time
execution of the code. Applications are provided to allow you to learn, reuse and modify their
source code. This can be used for a quick proof-of-concept, evaluation or demonstration
prototype.
The STM8SVLDISCOVERY is ideal for hobbyists, developers, students and support teams.
By using this document as a guide and trying out the application examples, you can quickly
familiarize yourself with the STM8SVLDISCOVERY and all its possibilities.
