STM32L100R8T6 free ide

Keil μvision 5 has a free version.

The only limit is the code size (32KB). 32KB is enough for simple projects. If your projects are slightly larger than 32KB, you may decrease the size by removing all the unused functions from the libraries source code.

It supports STM32L100R8.

Hi

The 2 other commercial vendors also have free versions :

IAR (also code size limited to 32K):

http://www.iar.com/Service-Center/Downloads/

Atollic (the Lite version is limit to 32K on Cortex M3/4, 8K on Cortex M0)

http://www.atollic.com/index.php/download

Another freeware IDE is emBlocks

I do not advocate any one in particular, just making you aware of the other choices.

Personally, I HATE Eclipse - so would avoid CooCox and Atollic.

IAR does not have the best editor BUT (from my experience) has the best debugger.

Have not used emBlocks (yet).

I think your choices are down to  :

emBlocks

emIDE

GNU ARM Eclipse Plug-ins

From those 3 alternatives (and even with additional alternatives),

EmBlocs.org

is the best.  With version 2.10, all relevant functionality is available for large number of boards and processors.

The support for STM32xxx boards is very strong.
