Thank you for your response, Matloub,

I looked on the "Options" -> "Aplication Option" -> "Directories" and in the "Include Directories" showed "$(RkitInc); $(RkitInc)\ST7.

I placed the cursor on the line of the (#include "stm8s.h") and make "CTRL + SHIFT + O", the message showed "Unable to find stm8s.h"

I looked up in the C:\Program Files\Raisonance\Ride\inc\STM8 and I can't find the .h file for STM8S103K3 since I used the STM8S103K3 processor. I just wondering if this is the cause ?

Thanks again,

I created an STM8S103K3.h file in C:\Program Files\Raisonance\Ride\inc\STM8 and I tried compiling again but it still show the same error message " cannot open stm8s.h".

Hi

The problem is that the file stm8s.h is not in the folder and we need to add it.

For your second trial you need to add ;$(RkitInc)\STM8 "Options" -> "Aplication Option" -> "Directories" and it should
solves the issue.

Where I can find the file stm8s.h in order to add in the folder ?

Also I'd been trying to figure out how to change the directory to $(RkitInc)\STM8 but it would not let me edit to "$(RkitInc)\STM8"the directory and it only let me select the directory C:\Program Files\Raisonance\Ride\inc\STM8.

Thanks again,

Hi

The file and the code come from ST library an I think in <......>\Ride\Examples\STM8\STM8SFWLib\library\inc
you can find one.

For the option include directory, there are two ways to enter paths:
- You can type in the box the path
- You can open this kind of editor by click on the browse button
In the editor you need to double click to change one string
or to make add new by clicking "new" button

I found the file stm8s.h located at C:\Program Files\Raisonance\Ride\Examples\STM8\STM8SFWLib\library\inc.

I edited the Include directories as "$(RkitInc)\STM8" , compiled it and it wouldn't work then

I changed the Include directories to "C:\Program Files\Raisonance\Ride\Examples\STM8\STM8SFWLib\library\inc", compliled and the error message "Undefined GPIO_Pin_2" and "Incorrect EOF".

/* Includes ------------------------------------------------------------------*/
#include "stm8s.h"

/* I/Os configuration */

#define Output (GPIOB)
#define Dimmer (GPIO_PIN_2)

/* Public functions ----------------------------------------------------------*/

void main(void)
{

//u8 Leds; /* Contains which LEDs to operate */

/* Initialize I/Os in Output Mode */
GPIO_Init(Output, Dimmer, GPIO_MODE_OUT_PP_LOW_FAST);

/* Toggles LEDs */

while (1)
{

GPIO_WriteHigh(Output, Dimmer); // set Dimmer output high

}

}

What did I do wrong here ? I've been so furstrating with this start up and I hope Matloub help me to get over this.

Thanks alot,

Hi Snake,

The ST Firmware Libraries are quite complex; They use a "header callback" trick so that some specific settings are held in your private stm8_conf.h, which is itself called by header files from the library. And your C files should include only the ST library files, not your conf file!

As this trick is not easy to handle, I recommend that:
- You check out the examples provided with Ride7, (in \Examples\STM8\REva\xxx>) which contain good usage of the ST library.
- You copy the needed ST Library files in your project directory (or, even better, in a "STLib" subdir) and use them instead of the files in the "\Examples\STM8\STM8SFWLib\", which may be modified in the future, which would possibly cause your project not to work anymore.

As Matloub explained, it is possible to add some directories that will be scanned during the project build, but (once again) you should not use "\Examples\STM8\STM8SFWLib" in there.

At this price, you will have to copy lots of the library files in your project directory, but you will not have any problems any more with missing files.
