Hi. I am currently working on making the board work under Linux, utilising the Boot mode present in the STMF100RB and am blogging the results at 

http://gostm32.blogspot.com/

So far I have (with a lot of help from the WWW) figured out all the hardware and protocols to connect the board to any machine with a serial port and have a communicating board - you can read and write to it. I know some people (including me) regretted the lack of O/S support for the STM8 board, so all the instructions are up there if anyone else wants to try it out, critique or comment on what I've done etc. please feel free to do so. No changes to the board are required (no solder bridge removal) though I have hacked off the six pins at the bottom because it won't plug in my breadboard otherwise :( I hope to have code running on it by Monday (tomorrow it's my birthday ....) Picture being worth 1000 words :) #vsprog #gnu #swd #openocd #stlink #firmware #discovery-breadboard #openocd #gcc

The flash-write verification now works, and is the default action when you use the program=<filename> command.

Don't bother worrying about N's negative comments.

He has been doing this all through the forum. Some kid who likes crittiquing everybody - without giving any actual helpful advice.

Just to keep things in the same place, OpenOCD can also be used to program/debug using the STLINK/V1 and STLINK/V2
