1 Description
Raisonance’s Primers are a uniquely fun, easy, low-risk solution for exploring, evaluating
and developing applications for the STM32 and STM8 microcontrollers. They include
everything that users need to better understand the STM32/STM8’s peripheral
implementation and operation.
The EvoPrimer range is an enhancement of the original Primer1 and Primer2 devices. It
offers even more flexibility to evaluate a range of STM32 microcontrollers and STM8L
ultralow power line microcontrollers, using the same EvoPrimer base with interchangeable
target boards (to test different microcontrollers) or extension boards.
•The EvoPrimer base has a removable transparent cover and USB cable which
includes features such as the debugging/programming interface and most of the
hardware features that you need to evaluate the capabilities of the target MCU. The
base can also be extended by using its add-on connector to add components and
circuitry.
•The EvoPrimer target board(s) include the target MCU and may also include
additional hardware features for target MCU evaluation.
The Primers can be purchased as complete evaluation tools, which can then be modified by
purchasing an accessory, or they can be created from the interchangeable accessories:
•The complete evaluation tools for the STM8L and STM32 microcontroller families
consist of an EvoPrimer base with the relevant EvoPrimer target board.
•The EvoPrimer accessories permit the EvoPrimer base and EvoPrimer target boards
(and extension boards) to be ordered separately.

2 Primer usage
Power up
If your EvoPrimer base and the target board are not connected, simply insert the target
board into the EvoPrimer base, switch on the power switch and slide the transparent cover
in place.
Press the joystick to power up the complete EvoPrimer and plug it directly into a host PC's
USB port for in-circuit debugging and device programming.
Note: EvoPrimer bases are charged in the factory to ensure minimum operation upon reception.
The battery needs charging as soon as possible via the EvoPrimer base's debug USB port.
Play
Start exploring the power of the STM32/STM8 by playing with the included applications. The
base drives the fun, ergonomic hardware platform that combines a TFT graphical display
with MEMs-based controls plus a tactile screen and joystick for navigating and controlling
the GUI and game applications.
The Primers enable you to discover, edit and fine tune applications using Raisonance's
Ride7 software toolset which drives the hardware and offers a full range of project
management, source code editing and debugging features from an intuitive GUI.
The Primers can operate in standalone mode powered by a battery with power
management circuit which is recharged via the USB connection to a host PC.
When the STM8L or STM32L EvoPrimer target boards are disconnected from the base,
they have the unique feature of being able to run off their own battery which is recharged by
their solar cells. They can use this feature to operate as a standalone temperature sensor
application!
More resources
You can develop applications using sample applications from Raisonance or other
engineers at www.mcu-circle.com as the starting point for new innovations. All the
preloaded sample applications, new applications and the CircleOS task scheduler can be
downloaded for free from the mcu-circle web site. This Primer dedicated internet site also
provides FAQ, user forums, links to development resources and much more.
Note: Raisonance's Ride7 supports the STM32, STR7/9, STM8 and ST7 microcontroller families.
For details about available compilers and special features for each family, refer to the
STMicroelectronics microcontroller support site on www.st.com.
Development software STM8L-PRIMER STM32-PRIMER STMPRIMER
4/7 DocID13942 Rev 10
3 Development software
The EvoPrimers require that the most recent version of the following software (for
compiling, programming and debugging) is downloaded from the mcu-circle web site:
•Ride7 development software toolset with an intuitive GUI for:
– Project manager
– Source code editor
– High-level language debugger
•A compiler:
– GNU C/C++ compiler, no code size limitations (STM32)
– Raisonance C compiler (STM8), free version up to 2 Kbytes code
(Effective Date: April 1st, 2013).
•CircleOS task scheduler for dynamic loading and management of new applications.
•C source code for all sample applications and libraries including:
– MEMs (GUI application controls)
– TFT display (touchscreen, graphical interface, games, bitmap converter)
– Audio record and playback (Primer2 and EvoPrimers)
•Complete documentation is provided with the software installation.
For more software and ideas, take a look at the dedicated online community and resources
at www.stm8circle.com and www.stm32circle.com.
