I am currently evaluating your stm8 tools. I need to be able to create many versions of a project in a day. Each slightly different than the others. Each version needs to have a different name as well. When my testers find a versions they like I need to be able to go back to those versions and evolve them. So far I have not figured out how to do this with Ride7. There does not appear to be a "Project Save As" option. How do I do this with Ride7? Thank you. Bernie |
Hi Bernie,
This is an interesting feature. We currently do not have this possibility, but we will add it to the Ride7 wish list.
Actually all -permanent- project information is held into the .rprj and .rapp files. These are XML, so it should be quite simple for your to edit them using a script.
All other files are intermediate building files, you can safely remove them (apart from your sources ;-)
I hope this helps,
Bruno
Understood. For now, from windows I simply copy the folder containing the project (prj folder contains prj files and my source) to a new location. I then change the folder name. The project in the new location has the same name as before, but all tool interaction (input and output) appear to be relative to the project in question. Folder name, not project, represents version. A bit clunky, but, it appears to work for now.
If you think of an easier way please let me know.
Thank you.

The plot thickens ...
As I mentioned at the start of this thread, I generate many versions of a project. What I did not mention is that my testers are not co-located. With other chips/tools I would email a *.hex file to my testers and they would proceed as expected.
I assume RFlasher7 is the tool my testers should use. When I program my target with RFlasher my program does not work.
Is there a way to remove read-out protection from RFlasher7?
In order to get RFlasher7 to program I used Ride7 to remove read-out protection.
Thank you.

Hi Bernie,
Ensure that you are properly setting the option bytes using an assembler file in your project (check out how this is done in our examples).
There should not be a difference between RFlasher and Ride programming.
Note that you can also use our command line tool : STM8_pgm.exe.
Best Regards,
