I am using STM8S 105C^Discovery with a Windows 8 Laptop. I tried to compile some example codes using Cosmic C Compiler with an Evaluation Key, but I got some errors.

 

 

Here is the message I got

I would appreciate if some one can advice me on how to solve this problem

    Maybe you don't include some files like as stm8sxxx_it.c, 

    stm8sxxx_it.h, stm8lxxx_conf.h

    I had the same problem, but when I add this files in my project, the problem is gone.

    As @Maksim Salau said, the problem is that you've defined NonHandledInterrupt  in both stm8_interrupt_vector.c and stm8s_it.c

    You need to remove one of those definitions.

     

    PS

    "Multiply defined" is just a clumsy & ugly way of saying that you have multiple definitions of NonHandledInterrupt 

    PPS

    Note that the message would be easier to read if posted using the </> button - as for source code:

      Hi,

      The message says that you have NonHandledInterrupt defined in two files:

      stm8_interrupt_vector.c and stm8s_it.c

      Just remove one of them.

      Maksim.
