STM attracts Linux users

[Karel]

The STM32CubeMX configurator and initialization tool and the System Workbench® for STM32, an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) created by Ac6 Tools, supported by the openSTM32.org community, and available at www.st.com/sw4stm32, are now both available to run on Linux OS.

Like Microchip, Altera, Xilinx, now also STM has seen the "light".
The only stubborn one was Atmel and we know how they ended...

that may just be the light to dump Microchip and STM.

Well, the SW4STM32 is just repackaged Eclipse and GCC with a proprietary plugin.

It is good that they made it work in Linux too, but hardly something I would go gaga over.

Well I could run the STM32CubeMX on linux even before the official support as it is a pure java application.

I don't use the STM32CubeMX for generating code (it depends on the HAL library), but I find it very useful for organizing how and what peripherals you will use.

Anyway, I appreciate this move from STM.
