ARM Investigations

My cat has been telling me she wants to get more into 32 bit ARM processors. So when ST started freely offering their discovery development board for their new Corex M4, I jumped at the chance. My luck was in and the board arrived today! The STM32F4 on the board has a full meg of flash and a single precision floating point unit! Oh and like a bazzilion hardware timers and lots more. The board itself has a number of sensors and a big LED on it.

My cat is looking forward to spinning up a compiler and putting the device through its paces. She is especially looking forward to the demo app where the board pretends to be a mouse.
