However if you want to build a non-Linux product (to use your existing RTOS for example) you will find little guidance on where to start.

We now support all three available STM8 compilers (Cosmic, IAR and Raisonance) so you can choose to use Atomthreads for a project safe in the knowledge that switching compilers will be pain-free.

IAR offer a 30-day evaluation of the full version, as well as a time-unlimited 8KB "Kickstart" edition (with a few non-core features disabled).

This can be done using hardware emulation (via QEMU or VMWare) or just using the built in "Synthetic Target" support. I have documented here the various steps required to install and configure the Synthetic Target on Linux (Ubuntu). As well as supporting basic eCos threading you can even run networking applications in this environment via the bundled synthetic Ethernet driver.
