unix tools and firmware package for the STM32VL Discovery

To complement command line tools chain from Code Soucery, I download the command line toolset of unxutils. unxutils gives you similar Unix tools but develop for native execution. So the rm or the ls or the mv tool does not rely on cygwin.dll.

To kick off the development, I download the STM32VL Discovery Firmware package. This package contains some examples which I have used to quickly verify if my setup is correct or totally wrong. The source code of the firmware that is shipped with the STM32 discovery board is also part of the firmware package. The firmware package has accompanying documentation with it. Look for application note AN3268 on www.st.com.

You may also want to consider downloading ST-Link utility. This will allow you to download the binary into your discovery.
