STM8S Discovery Evaluation Board

I came across the STM8S Discovery board today, which is selling at the notable price of just £4.25 from Farnell (also £4.22 from Future Electronics). With this pricing, ST are clearly trying to stimulate interest in the STM8 architecture by appealing to the tinkerer market. It will be interesting to see whether they can convert this into any serious design wins.The development tools appear to be Windows only, and you’ll need to pay for a compiler license if you want to build software larger than 16KB, but for the price-conscious it looks like a neat device.
