Example description

This example shows how to retarget the C library printf/getchar functions to the UART1. This implementation output the printf message on the Hyperterminal using UART1 and keep waiting a character to be entered by the user.

The UART1 is configured as follows:

• BaudRate = 115200 baud
• Word Length = 8 Bits
• One Stop Bit
• No parity
• Receive and transmit enabled
• UART1 Clock disabled

Directory contents

• UART1\UART1_Printf\main.c Main file containing the "main" function
• UART1\UART1_Printf\stm8s_conf.h Library Configuration file
• UART1\UART1_Printf\stm8s_it.c Interrupt routines source
• UART1\UART1_Printf\stm8s_it.h Interrupt routines declaration

Hardware and Software environment

• This example runs on STM8S High density and Low density devices and on STM8A High density devices.

• This example has been tested with STMicroelectronics STM8/128-EVAL evaluation board and can be easily tailored to any other development board.

• STM8/128-EVAL Set-up
  • Connect a null-modem female/female RS232 cable between the DB9 connector CN13 and PC serial port.

• Hyperterminal configuration:
  • Word Length = 8 Bits
  • One Stop Bit
  • No parity
  • BaudRate = 115200 baud
  • flow control: None

How to use it ?

In order to make the program work, you must do the following :

• Copy all source files from this example folder to the template folder under Project
• Open your preferred toolchain
• Rebuild all files and load your image into target memory
• Run the example

Note:

• High-Density STM8A devices are the STM8AF52xx STM8AF6269/8x/Ax, STM8AF51xx, and STM8AF6169/7x/8x/9x/Ax microcontrollers where the Flash memory density ranges between 32 to 128 Kbytes
• Medium-Density STM8A devices are the STM8AF622x/4x, STM8AF6266/68, STM8AF612x/4x, and STM8AF6166/68 microcontrollers where the Flash memory density ranges between 8 to 32 Kbytes
• High-Density STM8S devices are the STM8S207xx, STM8S007 and STM8S208xx microcontrollers where the Flash memory density ranges between 32 to 128 Kbytes.
• Medium-Density STM8S devices are the STM8S105x and STM8S005 microcontrollers where the Flash memory density ranges between 16 to 32-Kbytes.
• Low-Density STM8S devices are the STM8S103xx, STM8S003 and STM8S903xx microcontrollers where the Flash density is 8 Kbytes.
