Getting started with STM8 Development – Part 1 – Blinking a LED

Usually the first step toward learning development on a micro-controller is simply blinking a LED, as an analog to “Hello, world!” example used on PC programming languages. This time we will have a look into how to start programming and development on STMicroelectronics STM8 series of micro-controllers.
