Our complete hardware/software development tool offer covers all aspects of application design with STMicroelectronics' STM8A family of automotive-grade microcontrollers, which combines ST's advanced 8-bit core with three-stage pipeline, true EEPROM, pin-to-pin compatibility across the range and extended temperature range up to 145 C.

The Raisonance offer builds on the proven Ride integrated development environment and the Raisonance C compiler for STM8/ST7. Software tools are combined with hardware in complete tool packages that include:

• Primer - device-specific platform for discovering features and working with peripherals such as CAN and LIN

• REva Starter Kit - complete, flexible platform for evaluating features and starting development

• RLink - versatile in-circuit debugger/programmer covering both 8 and 32-bit families
