[sdiy] ST Discovery boards - Other Development Platforms

[charlie wallace]

even easier, go to mbed.com and use their online dev environment, it
generates a bin on compile, that downloads, and if you have a nucleo
discovery board you copy the file over to board via its  mounted usb
drive the board flashes it on itself. if you decide the online isn't
working out, it can export the project to multiple different
ide's/compilers.
