STM32 Support
Red Suite v4.1.0 introduced support for STMicroelectronics' STM32F1 and STM32F2 families of MCUs. Red Suite v4.1.5 extended this support to include the STM32F4 family, and Red Suite v4.2.0 extended it further by adding support for the STM32L1 family.
The below information provides additional details of the specifics of the STM32 support, beyond the general information on using Red Suite that is provided in the Getting Started guide (which can be found in your tools installation, or else downloaded from the New Functionality in Code Red IDE Version 4 FAQ).

When selecting a particular STM32F1 part as the target MCU for your project, in order to locate the part in the Red Suite MCU selection pane, you will need to confirm in the appropriate STM documentation as to which sub-family it belongs to.
For STM32L1 parts, the devices are broken down into STM32L1_HD and STM32L1_MD sub-families.
For STM32F2 and STM32F4 parts, there is no similar break down.
For STM32F4, STM32F2 and each STM32L1 and STM32F1 sub-family, Red Suite provides...
- A CMSIS library project
For background information on CMSIS, see the FAQ Support for CMSIS.
- A library project containing a port of STM's Standard Peripheral Library. This requires the CMSIS library project to exist in the same workspace in order to build.
In addition, for certain evaluation boards - currently the STM3210C-Eval (mounting an STM32F107VC MCU), the STM3210E-Eval (mounting an STM32103ZE MCU), the STM3220G-Eval (mounting an STM32F207IG MCU), the STM32L152-Eval (mounting an STM32L152VB MCU), the STM32L152D-Eval (mounting an STM32L152ZD MCU) and the STM324xG-Eval (mounting an STM32F407IG MCU) - Red Suite also provides...
- A port of STM's evaluation board library, plus associated example. These require the CMSIS and Standard Peripheral Library projects to exist in the same workspace in order to build.
Each of these can be selected when running through the Red Suite project wizard. Note that you will need to import the appropriate library projects from the Examples subdirectory of your Red Suite installation, before selecting it in the project wizard.
Debug
Debugging of STM32 parts is only supported via Code Red's Red Probe+ debug probe (or the original Red Probe).
