Hi Team,

I am new to STM32 MCU family. I have with me no STM32F04 Discovery board.

To get started what is the best IDE?

Is keil good or eclipse good or Atollic studio is good? with out nay code size limitations.

Kindly suggest?

Also which RTOS is good?

FreeRTOS or NUTTX or Linux?

Also do I need to use or start with STM32CubeF4 package or normal examples.

Kindly help me in getting started.

Thanks,Regards,

Kumar.

What is your favourite colour?

Have you done any programming before? What development tool did you use? What aspects did you like vs dislike?

If you do not have the experience to make decisions perhaps start by doing simple things, and trying different tools.

How much money do you want to spend on your tools and OS? You're not going to get a Ferrari at Lada prices.

STM32F407 ?

Board the SPL and HAL have their adherents, CubeMX can generate code in HAL or LL. Starting today it is better to learn the current tools/libraries, review the examples under the STM32CubeF4 package, try compiling and running. Experiment so you have a basis from which to make decisions, or to know what you like or dislike.
