Eclipse IDE support

[rtek1000]

Hi, I'm using Eclipse to compile STM8 through a compile.sh script that executes the Makefile.

One thing I would like to be able to see when compiling is memory usage (Flash/RAM).

I'm controlling the size of the code through the information that stm8flash returns when programming.

Would it be possible to adapt some plugin for Eclipse to recognize stm8flash in a similar way to what STM32CubeIDE does to recognize ST-Link?

I'm not sure I understand what you want stm8flash to do. You want it to automatically detect which model of MCU you have connected?

I belive you have to look at the output of the linker. May be add some command to the Makefile to list the segments and total memory usage.

When using an IDE, it might make more sense to use GDB/OpenOCD instead of stm8flash. stm8flash can only do basic stuff, such as read and write the flash and other memories. GDB/OpenOCD can do on-target debugging.

I found these instructions, in case anyone wants to see it, it looks like a good alternative, I'll try it:

Now I see there is another option, I was searching the internet before I came to read the answers, and found the instructions already posted above. I was wondering about the debug options that the STM32CubeIDE has.
