Because of human error, -the STM32F401RBT6 was used when assembling rev08 and rev09 boards. This -chip has less flash and RAM, so some region mappings had to change.</p> - -<p>MCU dependant parameters are found in the top level common.mk near the -top, read the comments regarding STDPERIPH_SETTINGS, MCU_LINKSCRIPT and -SRCS.</p> - -<h1>STLINK</h1> - -<p>To program the MCU, an STLINK adapter is used. The cheapest way to get -one is to buy an evaluation board with an STLINK integrated, and pinouts -to program external chips. All the evaluation boards I've encountered -from STM has this ability. I'm using an STLINK from an STM32F4DISCOVERY -board, but the even cheaper NUCLEO-F401RE should work too. The NUCLEO -one has a STLINK v2.1 which is probably, but not necessarily, supported -by the OpenOCD version in your Linux distribution (as of end of 2014).</p> - -<p>The STLINK programming pins are the 1+4 throughole pads above the ARM -on the circuit board.
