Description
STMPRIMER STM8L-PRIMER STM32-PRIMER
Description
Raisonance's Primers are a uniquely fun, easy, low-risk solution for exploring, evaluating and developing applications for the STM32 and STM8 microcontrollers. They include everything that users need to better understand the STM32/STM8's peripheral implementation and operation. The EvoPrimer range is an enhancement of the original Primer1 and Primer2 devices. It offers even more flexibility to evaluate a range of STM32 connectivity line and performance line microcontrollers and STM8L ultralow power line microcontrollers, using the same EvoPrimer base with interchangeable target boards (to test different microcontrollers) or extension boards.
The EvoPrimer base has a removable transparent cover and USB cable which includes features such as the debugging/programming interface and most of the hardware features that you need to evaluate the capabilities of the target MCU. The base can also be extended by using its add-on connector to add components and circuitry. The EvoPrimer target board(s) include the target MCU and may also include additional hardware features for target MCU evaluation.
The Primers can be purchased as complete evaluation tools, which can then be modified by purchasing an accessory, or they can be created from the interchangeable accessories:
The complete evaluation tools for the STM8L and STM32F microcontroller families consist of an EvoPrimer base with the relevant EvoPrimer target board. The EvoPrimer accessories permit the EvoPrimer base and EvoPrimer target boards (and extension boards) to be ordered separately. EvoPrimer base Figure 2. EvoPrimer target boards

Primer usage
Primer usage
Power up
If your EvoPrimer base and the target board are not connected, simply insert the target board into the EvoPrimer base, switch on the power switch and slide the transparent cover in place. Press the joystick to power up the complete EvoPrimer and plug it directly into a host PC's USB port for in-circuit debugging and device programming. Note: EvoPrimer bases are charged in the factory to ensure minimum operation upon reception. The battery needs charging as soon as possible via the EvoPrimer base's debug USB port.
Play
Star t exploring the power of the STM32/STM8 by playing with the included applications. The base drives the fun, ergonomic hardware platform that combines a TFT graphical display with MEMs-based controls plus a tactile screen and joystick for navigating and controlling the GUI and game applications. The Primers enable you to discover, edit and fine tune applications using Raisonance's Ride7 software toolset which drives the hardware and offers a full range of project management, source code editing and debugging features from an intuitive GUI. The Primers can operate in standalone mode powered by a battery with power management circuit which is recharged via the USB connection to a host PC. When the STM8L EvoPrimer target board is disconnected from the base, it has the unique feature of being able to run off its own battery which is recharged by its solar cells. It can use this feature to operate as a standalone temperature sensor application!
More resources
You can develop applications using sample applications from Raisonance or other engineers at www.mcu-circle.com as the starting point for new innovations. All the preloaded sample applications, new applications and the CircleOS task scheduler can be downloaded for free from the mcu-circle web site. This Primer dedicated internet site also provides FAQ, user forums, links to development resources and much more. Note: Raisonance's Ride7 supports the complete range of STR7/9, STM32, STM8, ST7 and uPSD 8-bit microcontroller families. For details about available compilers and special features for each family, refer to the STMicroelectronics microcontroller support site on www.st.com.

Development software
STMPRIMER STM8L-PRIMER STM32-PRIMER
Development software
The EvoPrimers require that the most recent versions of the following software (for compiling, programming and debugging) is downloaded from the mcu-circle web site:
Ride7 development software toolset with an intuitive GUI for: Project manager Source code editor High-level language debugger GNU C/C++ compiler, no code size limitations (STM32F) Raisonance C compiler (STM8L)
A compiler:
CircleOS task scheduler for dynamic loading and management of new applications. C source code for all sample applications and libraries including: MEMs (GUI application controls) TFT display (touchscreen, graphical interface, games, bitmap converter) Audio record and playback (Primer2 and EvoPrimers)
Complete documentation is provided with the software installation.
The STM32F EvoPrimers are preprogrammed with applications that allow use of the key features on the base. They include a USB connector and a circuit for implementing voicequality audio record and playback in your applications. The STM32F connectivity line EvoPrimer includes additional CAN connectors. The STM8L EvoPrimer contains a temperature sensor application in the target board's serial Flash which wakes up periodically to detect, store and display ambient temperature. To run this application on the target board in standalone, the TempLP application must be uploaded from the target board's serial Flash to the STM8L, and the solar cells should be connected to provide the power. The Primer1 and Primer2 are preloaded with Ride7, a C/C++ compiler, CircleOS task scheduler and C source code for all sample applications and libraries. For more software and ideas, take a look at the dedicated online community and resources at the mcu-circle web site.
