oh great - yeah the STM32F072 is like a grown-up version of the arduino. none of this bullshit installing 160mb of java runtime, a toy-for-an-IDE that does nothing more than wrap sdcc and avr-utils even to the point of modifying simple Makefiles for you. i bought an OSMC back in 2001, it had the same PICs as the arduino, and *nobody* arsed about with 250mb of crap to wrap 5mb worth of libraries and command-line compiler tools! rant over.... :) yeah using libopencm3, it's just Makefiles and gcc arm cross-compilers with no stdlib [gcc-arm-none]. the community surrounding libopencm3 is quite large, so there are actually plenty of examples out there as well as people who can help. l. _______________________________________________ arm-netbook mailing list [email protected] http://lists.phcomp.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/arm-netbook Send large attachments to [email protected]
