[sdiy] OT: uC Development Environments

[Jason Tribbeck]

I've used VisualGDB with STMCube, importing the latter into VGDB. I thought
it did do the peripheral initialisation though.

I could be wrong, mind you, as the last time I did it was about 3 years
ago. I know I was able to use FatFS from STMCube happily with an STM32F051,
and also various USB device implementations, mostly on STM32F072.
