Pure ARM GCC toolchain

Hi there,

Is there any support for a pure ARM GCC toolchain for STM32 microcontrollers?

I essentially mean this: linker scripts and startup code.

I understand Atollic TrueSTUDIO provides a similar path to this, but I want to avoid being tied to a company's policies.

Thanks!

Yes, the ARM GNU/GCC platform has worked with STM32 parts for years, the linker scripts and startup method work exactly as they do for any Cortex and ARM variants.

If you have any grasp of GNU/GCC with ARM, MIPS or SPARC this knowledge is directly transferable into the use of STM32 parts of various types.

The RiDE examples are probably the most transferable, but I've posted several stand-alone GNU/GCC based STM32 projects with makefiles, linker scripts, etc.

@clive1, can you point me to those stand-alone projects? Are they on web?

I've posted examples to the forum, it is heavily spidered, and I use Google pretty much exclusively to find my own old posts, so I know that would work.
