[sdiy] ST Discovery boards - Other Development Platforms

[Karsten Schmidt]

Hi Charlie,

I've got a whole bunch of STM32 related projects from workshops I
taught over the last 2 years (for STM32F746-DISCO & STM32F4-DISCO
boards). For the last workshop I also switched to a nice/semi-modular
Makefile setup, so you only need to install the ARM toolchain, STLink
and the STMFxCube SDK:

https://github.com/thi-ng/ws-ldn-12 - contains complete synth project
& links to tools

Previous iterations (for which we were using Eclipse):
https://github.com/thi-ng/ws-ldn-7

Additionally, here's a list of STM related coding resources:
http://asm.thin.ng/

Also uploaded 2 video examples of the synth:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41FKE3PYjnE (MIDI controlled)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lL-ZxyrHiE (touchscreen GUI)

...and a lot of demo tracks on Soundcloud:

This all is part of longer term project, developing a Forth-based
livecoding synth env for these boards, though progress has temporarily
stalled due to work...

Hope that helps!
