[sdiy] ST Discovery boards - Other Development Platforms

[Eric Brombaugh]

Scott,

Yes, you can develop on Linux using a simple editor/gcc/make/gdb flow.

I'd recommend the Gnu ARM Embedded version of GCC here:

https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded

You'll also need OpenOCD to talk to the ST-Link programming port on the 
Discovery board:

http://openocd.org/

Those two and the editor of your choice should be sufficient to get you 
started. If you need examples of GCC and OpenOCD settings, check out 
some of the STM32 projects on my website:
