Hi, i would like to know if there is any limitation for programing others ST's Cortex-M3 with the embedded ST-Link placed at STM32 Discovery?

As an example.. can i program the STM32F102?

Second, for now i am using the CodeSourcery Lite with Eclipse. Any one knows if there is any limitation on using CodeSourcery (or any other gcc) with ST's Cortex-M3?

Thank you!

Hi,

The ST-Link should work with any STM32, just make sure to upgrade the firmware to the latest version.

Codesourcery works perfectly with the STM32

, the following guides explain how to use it:

I think it is not limited because the update package is the same for the normal ST-Link and the embedded one.

I've not verified first hand however.

Limitation i mean the CodeSourcery Lite and not ST-Link Lite hehe. Any ideal if the CodeSourcery LITE got any kind of limitation?

It does not have limitations. The code size is unlimited, optimizations are not disabled and the library is complete.

Giovanni,

Will ST-LINK work with this IDE?

It isn't specified in

?

ST Link is not currently supported by OpenOCD and there is no alternative GDB server as far I know. Huge limit IMO.

EWARM and uVision support it out of the box.

You could replace the ST-Link firmware with Versaloon , and get OpenOCD support (GDB) , you need 2 STM32VL boards (one programming the other via SWD , or some other kind of SWD programmer)
