Arduino programs ARM

OK - so for the last couple of days I have been waxing lyrical about a new extension to the Arduino IDE which allows it to program the STM32F1xx range of Cortex M3 microcontrollers.

This afternoon, I built up one of my ARMiGo boards with a STM32F103 ad managed to program it with Blinky - entirely from Arduino 1.60 - augmented with Roger Clark's Arduino_STM32.

Quick Start Guide.

 1. Download the latest stable Arduino IDE from here.
2. Download the Arduino_STM32 from Github - here
3. Unzip the folder and place in the Hardware folder of Arduino 1.60
4. Make sure you have dwnloaded any drivers - eg ST-Link you might need for board programming.
5. Restart Arduino so that the changes in the Hardware folder are incorporated

When you select the tools menu, you will find that a load of new board options are available at the bottom of the board list:



Now I am using a ST Link programmer (off  STM F103RB Nucleo board) - so I chose the last option STM Nucleo F103RB (STLink)

    is the "chinglish" description in a chinese seller in the range 3-6 US$
    in contrast to the ~50 US$ from ST.
    Does your perception says it is enough to the incursion you propose??
    Thank you
