What would you recommend for an IDE programming for the STM32F437VIT6 with the ST-LINK/V2?

I will be doing some basic things like SPI communcation, I2C, and toggling pins.

Any thoughts on Atollic?  Something else that might be better?

Thanks.

1. My suggestion is AC6 or the best one clen eclipse distribution with makefile.

2. dev bords check Original ST board (discovery or Nucleo) or much more elastic Waveshare.

The downsides, according to my experiences (V5.5.1, free version):

 - limited M7 support (no SamE70 support, but not relevant here)

 - ST-Link support not very robust, and quite sluggish

Debugging an application on a F746 proved rather delicate. Sometimes it didn't find the target at first try, or lost connection. Never had such an issue with IAR, Crossworks, or EmBlocks. Might be related to version V2.1.

And in general, you need to like Eclipse.

Yes, AC6 looks to be an excellent select! Thank you!
