Hello,
I have another questions. Does the ARM Development Studio IDE support ST-Link Flashing and basic debugging?
It's one of the most common interface, every Discovery/Nucleo platform has it onboard. I use a lot of different boards for prototyping and I need this feature to do everything fast. In most IDE's it just needs to be selected from available debuggers. Unfortunatelly I can't find usefull documentation or solutions how use ST-link in ARM DS
Please don't tell me that it's not possible...

Hi Arek
Sorry, but ST-Link is not currently supported by Arm DS. We do intend to support this in a future release. In the meantime, I will alert our development team to your request.

Since you have an ARM Development Studio license, you can use that with the Keil MDK5 tools.
Keil is the recommended too for Cortex-M Device. These is an app note on how to use the ST-Link debug adaptor with the tools here:
www.keil.com/.../apnt_286.asp
Free download of the Keil MDK tools is at keil.com/demo
Ok, I have both ARM DS and Keil 30-day trial version.
I want to evaluate both tools to see how it can work before we decide what to buy.
I know that Keil support ST-link and I have tested that - it works.
But I would prefer Eclipse IDE rather than Keil. This is why it would be great if I can work only on ARM DS and do flashing/debugging from there.
So, if there is no option at the moment to use ST-link i have two questions:
1. Any predictions when st-link support can be available in ARM DS?
2. Are there any significant differences (practical) between debugging tools in ARM DS and Keil? Does the Keil is the same advanced as a ARM DS?
Hi again ArekArm DS and Keil MDK provide similar advanced features for developing and debugging Arm-based designs. Keil MDK is focused on Cortex-M devices, while Arm DS is recommended for A- & R- class but supports M-class too.I'd like to get in touch with you to discuss your use case, and how we can help you going forward. Please email me at first.lastname[at]arm.com.
Thanks!

You realise that ST do have an Eclipse IDE of their own?
