STM32 development, what to use? Noob

camuyano

I want to start using some STM32 chips, but I do not know where to start.

Specifically I want to work with STM32F0 chips I will be using a cheap development board  STM32F030F4P6STM32F030F4P6 Arm Cortex-M0

I would like to code in Windows, Linux and Mac.

I want to use this chip because it is less than $2 and seems to work with very little support components and have USB support.

 

To simplify please comment on these question.

 

What FREE tools are available to code for STM32F0 boards (any platform)?

What is the most common use tool for this devices?

 

I am totally new to this MCU, normally I use Arduino but I want to get my hands in other non Atmel chips. Just to get more experience and learn.

Any comment is welcome.

    This is a nice cheap board for STM32F0xx work:

    and it comes with a range of free to use development environments:

     

    Supported by wide choice of Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) including IARTm, KeilRegistered, GCC-based IDEs

     

    I recommend the Keil tools as the best for Windows based development - if you insist on working on directly Windows, Mac and Linux then GCC is your only hope and you'll gain yourself a lot of grief trying to get exactly the same environment running directly on all three platforms. Don't bother - use Keil on Windows and run in a VM on Linux or Mac if you must.

    Thanks. I am planning on building a conference Badge using an STM32F0 chip. If this design get selected a board will be handle to each participant and I wanted to know if there were multiplatform development tools for the badge. I use the Keil and will try to make my design play well with it. Also will test the rest to provide first hand comments about the different development environments to the community. Most participant use at least two operating system but there might be a small group that is Mac only and I like to enable everyone to play with the boards.
    This is the first time I am working with an STM32 (actually boards are in the mail so soon will start) but from my reading seems to be simple enough to have a simple design working very quickly. So any other pointer to reference places about STM32 stuff is welcome.
