We are contemplating using the STM8 for a high-volume automotive application.
We haven't been able to find a good end-of-line programming solution. We typically program our microcontrollers after the circuit boards are fully assembled.
For the Freescale parts, we've been using, we had good luck with P&E Micro's Cyclone Pro:
But we haven't found a good SWIM programmer for the STM8.
I welcome all ideas.
Thanks a lot.

Hi David,
What sort of volumes are you talking about when you say high?
This makes a difference to the possible solutions as you could do them in circuit or before they are built onto the PCB.
Also this is a pretty new part I think so maybe some support from ST would be appropriate.

Talk with a ST FAE ? They usually have a short-list of programmer vendors, and Batch-Mode production programming is not an unusual request, so ST are likely to either have a solution, or know of one that is 'real close' to release from a 3rd party.

Havent used this with the STM8 myself yet, but I have always found this to be a decent tool:
I work on ST support for a disty, so will have a look over the next week...

Hello David,
have you already found a solution? We have exactly the same problem. We need a batchable firmware programming solution which provide error handling and pass/fail handling. The STM8 must be in circuit programmed over SWIM, stand alone programming is not possible. We typically program the boards as part of the in circuit test.
Thanks a lot

Aren't top posts handled automatically?
On my original post ("What is top posting?"), I put it at the top.
On your reply, it is at the bottom.
This happens automatically, right?
So if it gets moved to the bottom automatically, why shouldn't I put my comments at the top?

No, they aren't moved automatically. This is your last chance to avoid plonking, just in case you really believe such misinformation. Just read the references I provided.
