Thanks for your reply PICguy.

The JLINK is a bit expensive though .. But the simulator of IAR is interesting ..

Any other solution working with STM32's libraries from ST ?

Look for STM3210E-SK/IAR.  Should be <$300 with tax & shipping.

You want the IAR J-Link.  It will be useful on future projects.  Unless I missed something this development PCB comes with the J-Link.  It also comes with a somewhat stripped down C/C++ compiler linker and library.  Primary strip down: 32K max.  This is generous - some commercial products won’t need 32K.  You can download the tools for free and use the simulator before your PCB arrives.

(And no, I do not work for IAR.)

I like CrossWorks from Rowley (

). It is a very nice and complete development environment that just works.

A personal license (cross compiler, debugger, IDE, libraries) is $150.

Hi VDM,

 The choice is either good or cheap (and smth. between)

If JLINK is too expensive for you, let me ask you how do you value your time? Think about it, before wasting your time on ''cheap'' tools.

Good luck

I use Atollic TrueSTUDIO IDE with ST-Link debugger.

I think it's the cheapest option because IDE is free.

Debugger is only couple of bux. 

There are limitations but I think the tool I am using is suitable for getting started.  

Can use the ST library codes too..

i am using Raisonance Tools. RIDE7 IDE and RLink Programmer/Debugger. it is pretty good. you can use STM libraries.
