STM32F4 Drivers

“First of it, you should install ST-LINK (driver)”
http://www.st.com/web/catalog/tools/PF258167#

” We will also download the STM32FoDiscovery Firmware Package. This package not only contains the standard peripheral libraries but also other important files such as linker files, startup files and the system files that are necessary to get the STM32F0 Microcontroller running.  STM32F0Discovery Firmware package “

Compiler Options for STM32F4

ST doesn´t have their own free IDE.

ST has made of some of the compilers you can chose :

IAR and MDK-ARM are great but very expensive (Thousands of Euros ). Both are C compilers, and both have light free versions with size limitation of 32KBytes code. Have a look to the  µVision  debugger…

CooCox CoIDE
is free open source compiler, an Eclipse based IDE.
Its free & easy to use, but unfortunately is only available on MS Windows.
Support devices like ST, Atmel, TI, Toshiba, NXP
Available diferent program adapter like ST-LINK programming adapter
Download  CoIDE               http://www.coocox.org/CooCox_CoIDE.htm#

Atollic light version with limitation of 32 KBytes of Flash.

ARM Toolchain

The toolchain GNU Tools for ARM Embedded Processors is actively developed by ARM engineers and is used in many Commercial IDEs. It is free, complete, has no limitations and is regularly updated. Be sure to download the Linux version from the Toolchain Website.

We will also download the STM32FoDiscovery Firmware Package. This package not only contains the standard peripheral libraries but also other important files such as linker files, startup files and the system files that are necessary to get the STM32F0 Microcontroller running.

ECLIPSE + Codesourcery

Programming STM322 VLDiscovery with open source toolchain

However the Keil uVision is good choice for beginners and it is very easy for use, that have some restrictions. Maximum otuput size is 32KB, and still it is a commercial compiler. There are some more or less “open” build environments that do not have restricted maximum build size output and are available for free. One of them is Sourcery CodeBench Lite, known before as Codesourcery G++ Lite. This is free version of paid CodeBench environment,. In free version there is no IDE, only command-line toolchain. So let’s use one of most popular IDE for programming : Eclipse IDE. Eclipse is also used as editor in commercial edition of CodeBench (and more of other commercial toolchains for ARM). In connection with Sourcery CodeBench and GNU ARM Eclipse Plugin makes free and easy to use environment for creating software for STM32 (and other) microcontrollers with ARM core…..
