OK - ST-Link (and [color=rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;]STM32F4-Discovery board with built-in ST-LInk) on their way from Farnell [/color]

[color=rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;]Thanks for all the support   [/color][color=rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;] [/color]

I guess the CoIDE needs to use an ST-Link device to connect to the N+2 rather than the built-in USB port, right?

Thanks again for the comprehensive and precise answer.  Very much appreciated.

I'm trying the C++ route - and am trying out CoIDE as mentioned in Mark's blog.  Seems quite good so far.

Now to get to grips with how to actually push code to the N+2.

Thanks for the replies.  

The project is for automotive, I want some dashboard equipment from one make/model of vehicle in my own vehicle, hence the need for two canbus interfaces.

I like the idea of a very low level C++ application that should outperform the NET MF stuff.

I've used ASM on the PIC, but I don't (yet!) know C++ so I'm going to have to learn a lot to get going. 

Can you recommend a simple "hello world" guide for programming the STM32F4 from a C++ source?  

Thanks

Colin
