[sdiy] ST Discovery boards - Other Development Platforms

[charlie wallace]

Thanks karsten,

Currently i'm using mbed online, coocox with the older codesourcery
compiler (which is pretty decent). I'm doing a design for a conference
badge so i wanted todo the  lowest possible entry barrier for people
so they can join in the fun , so the the mbed is great for that, its a
shame that ST don't release their file system stlink to make it even
easier for custom boards, so i ended up just buying a shed load of
cheap stlink v2 clones, there is an open source firmware that should
supply a similar drive system though, but i haven't tried it yet. and
the wife just came in to tell me to go to work, otoh its the
blackmagic one

cheers
