stm8 download program (using ST-LINK downloader and STVP download software)

First of all, let's talk about why we need to build a flashing project - there is only one reason. Because you can't give the source code project to others to help you burn the program.

- -Then I want to complain about ST's official IDE. Really. I was extremely unhappy with it. So I later switched to IAR. It turned out that IAR cannot be mass-produced - -Because IAR's few programs seem to have to be under the project. You can't directly burn the HEX file into the board. So in the end I still had to use STVP for mass burning.

First, you need to prepare your burning file. HEX or S19 file. (Generated by IAR or STVD, the premise must be to ensure that your program is ok - this goes without saying).

Step 1: Then open STVP 

After opening it, it looks like this 

Step 2: Click OPTION BYTE. ROP ON. This will lock the FLASH after each programming to prevent others from reading your IC.

Also, if your crystal is 24M, WAITSTATE should be turned on. Then click File->Save. Then save. Remember that this saves the OPTIOIN BYTE!! If your clock is 24M or the program needs to be locked, be sure to generate this HEX file.

SAVE OPTION BYTE

Step 3: Project->New to create your own flashing project. Save. Then the Project Edition will pop up.

First menu. Configuration. Select. ST-LINK. USB. SWIM. Chip model

Then select Properties. Check Unlock project....(This is to unlock the automatic protection before each burning. Then burn)

Check Prompt for new programming cycle. (This will pop up after each programming to ask whether to proceed to the next programming)

Then click OPTION BYTE. ADD and select the OPTION BYTE.HEX file you generated in the first step. (This hex file is specifically for configuring your OPTION BYTE information)

Then if you have EEPROM to burn, select DATA MEMORY. The steps are the same as above.

Finally, PROGRAM MEMORY. Select the program file generated by STVD or IAR. Then click OK

Then close STVD. You will be prompted to save. Click Yes.

Reopen STVD. Click Project->Open to open the project file you just generated. 

Then connect the board to ST-LINK and power on.

Then click PROGRAM ALL TABS to program.

Select "Yes"

Select "Yes"

At this point, the burning is complete. Then it will prompt whether to burn the next time. At this time, you just need to connect a new board. Click "Yes" to start a new burning.

Many people will ask, why is there no response after I finish burning and writing? I think countless people must have been trapped by this problem. Damn it.

After STVP finishes burning the program, unless you unplug the ST-LINK and power your board from somewhere else, or you shut down STVP on the computer and then power the board back on.

The program on the board can run because the connection between your board and STVP has not been disconnected! !

This is so annoying. IAR doesn't work like this!! Maybe it's because you have to click GO or run after IAR finishes burning it before it will run.

This design is very unreasonable... But I can't complain about it...
