[Dprglist] NUCLEO STM32 L476RG - need suggestion of development environment to use

Kumar,

I use the gcc arm cross compiler tool chain on Linux machines for 
development, using either the st-flash downloader or openocd 
downloader/debugger, with vi and make.  I have the SMT32Cube libraries 
in the load library path so they are available to the linker.

cheers!

David
