STM32, Keil + GNU first steps?

How to make Keil+GNU  working with STM32 Value Line Discovery board from ST.com
Boards can buy:

Please send example codes for STM32.

I haven't got to this point yet, but i saw something good to read on WinARM pages:

Got the same board. There are examples for IAR, KEIL and some other tool, which I can't remember. However, I suggest You using IAR. Take the example zip file from ST.com, there are about 10 examples with that board fully working with full development environment setup.

The suggested (by ST) GCC platform for the STM32VL-Discovery is the Atollic Suite.
However i have been using Codesourcery-Lite without problems.

You will loose the onboard debugging facility if you doesn't use one of the ST suggested Suites.
But as i'm primarily running Linux , witch ST doesn't support for debugging anyway , it'l make no difference for me. And Codesourcery produces nice code.
I'm looking into doing some "Tricks" with the Value board. :-)

Btw: The Keil supported GCC platform usually is Codesourcery.

Edit: This is a nice page for the Discovery

And here is a full intro to STM32 & GCC

I'd still recommend codesourcery lite (The EABI toolchain)

Did You check ST-Discovery page? They give some examples there. Also check the Peripheral Library from ST, You can adopt that code examples and libs to Your project easily.

Btw, somehow Keil examples are not working when debuging. Keil debug crashes when started. No problems with IAR.

 Any news for programming STM32 with GNU compiler and debug it in Keil Uvision ?

[Mega32]

Nope

But here is howto use the STM32VL (12$) (Including debugging via SWD) , with Versaloon and OpenOCD
