Raisonance has developed, in co-operation with STMicroelectronics, a toolset (software and hardware) for the ST7 and STM8 family.
RKit-STM8
The RKit-STM8 software toolchain includes RBuilder, C Compiler (16KB limited), Assembler, Linker, CodeCompressor, Debugger and Simulator, all integrated into
Ride7 for the best ease of use. The RKit-STM8 supersedes and inherits from all the capabilities from the older RKit-ST7 (support for the full ST7 family)
RKit-STM8 comes in several versions :
- RKit-STM8-Eval:(16KB code limit) free download from our Web site
- Rkit-STM8-Professional:Pro version, with unlimited C Compiler
- RKit-STM8-Enterprise:With unlimited C compiler and CodeCompressor
Ride7
Ride7 is the Raisonance Integrated Development Environment. It allows you to manage all the
software and hardware tools with the best ease of use.
OPIMIZING ANSI C Compiler
RCSTM8 is the highly optimizing C compiler for the ST7 and STM8 family from Raisonance.
RCSTM8 allows you to write ST7 and STM8 applications in C that will have the efficiency and code compactness
of the assembly language, while the C language expressivity will help you remain time-to-market on your applications.
RBuilder
RBuilder(only for ST7) is a tool that helps developers starting their projects. It performs
the following:
- Selection of the peripherals
- Configuration of the selected peripherals
- Generation of the project skeleton
Simulator
Ride7 provides a simulator capable of simulating the STM8 or ST7 cores and their most common peripherals and makes it possible to check the
interaction between the application code and and the most common peripherals before debugging with an in-circuit debugger such as RLink or the REva evaluation board.
Drivers
USB driver for RLink is included in the software kit.
RFlasher
RFlasher is a friendly production-mode user interface for programming easily sall ST7 and STM8 families devices through the Raisonance RLink adapter.
CodeCompressor
CodeCompressor minimizes your applications ROM footprint. This global (post-link) optimizer, based on a unique technology from Raisonance, can reduce code size by up to 20%. It performs function inlining, code fragments factorization and advanced peephole optimization.
Hardware Tools
RLink
RLink is the Raisonance low-cost In-circuit programmer and debugger. It supports the ST7 and STM8 protocols through an easy-to-use USB connection. Smoothly integrated into Ride7 and RKit-STM8, it also supports ARM and µPSD (8051) device families..

REva
The Raisonance REva evaluation platform is a universal development and experimentation platform. Based on an innovative modular design using interchangeable daughter boards, it supports all ST7 and STM8 device families, as well as ARM (STR7, STR9 and STM32) and 8051/uPSD."
Retirer "The STM8 daughter boards will be included in this table very soon.
The list of available daugther boards can be found in the table below.
