Hello community,
I'm looking for materials to learn STM8S programming.
I searched on the internet but I couldn't find anything. Can you recommend me any documents or links to learn, please?
Thank you all!

    You might want to learn how to use search engines first, but it might also red flag this as a pointless exercise..

    Also be aware this is a bit of a dead-end architecture, 8-bit MCU were a hot thing 40 years ago, we played with them as teenagers.

    Get foundational texts on MCU architectures, and perhaps at least start with ARM and RISC-V, and data representation on computers.

    Thank you for your helpful comments!
    I just found it difficult to learn because I have never programmed on any microcontroller. I've watched videos and tutorials on YouTube but they don't teach in detail so it's hard to understand thoroughly.
    I will study the materials you suggested.

    What, exactly, do you mean by that?

    Programming an STM8 is essentially the same as programming any other microcontroller

    Do you have experience with any other microcontroller(s)?

    Do you have experience with programming in general ?

    A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

    I know C programming. So I want to learn about STM8 MCU, specifically the S series because I have the stm8s103f3p6 kit.

    I found Embedded -lab's tutorial and I would appreciate it if you could refer me to another pdf document. 
    Thanks!

    Hello @Minh ,

    Sorry I provided you a link to the official ST resources of STM8S: datasheet, reference manual, application notes .. Is that not sufficient?
