+STM32 software for dev-bridge board
+===================================
+
+The dev-bridge board is a daughterboard for the Novena, which talks to the
+Novena's FPGA through the high-speed expansion connector.
+
+See user/ft/stm32-dev-bridge/hardware/rev01 for schematics of the bridge
+board. There will be more information on the wiki shortly.
+
+
+Copyrights
+==========
+
+The license for all work done on this in the CrypTech project is a
+3-clause BSD license (see LICENSE.txt for details). Some files have
+been generated using the STMicroelectronics initialization code
+generator STM32CubeMX and thus have additional copyright header(s).
+
+The "Noise generator" and "Amplifier" parts of the circuit diagram are
+copied from Benedikt Stockebrand's ARRGH project. ARRGH copyright
+statement is included in LICENSE.txt.
+
+A stripped down copy of the ARM CMSIS library version 3.20 is included
+in the Drivers/CMSIS/ directory. Unused parts (and documentation etc.)
+have been removed, but every attempt have been made to keep any
+licensing information intact. See in particular the file
+Drivers/CMSIS/CMSIS END USER LICENCE AGREEMENT.pdf.
+
+A full copy of the STM32F4xx HAL Drivers is included in the
+Drivers/STM32F4xx_HAL_Driver/ directory.
+
+
+Building
+========
+
+The following packages need to be installed (on Ubuntu 14.04):
+
+  apt-get install gcc-arm-none-eabi gdb-arm-none-eabi openocd
+
+To build the source code, issue "make" from the top level directory
+(where this file is). The first time, this will build the complete STM
+CMSIS library. A subsequent "make clean" will *not* clean away the CMSIS
+library, but a "make really-clean" will.
+
+
+Installing
+==========
+
+Do "bin/flash-target" from the top level directory (where this file is)
+to flash a built image into the microcontroller. See the section ST-LINK
+below for information about the actual hardware programming device needed.
+
+
+ST-LINK
+=======
+To program the MCU, an ST-LINK adapter is used. The cheapest way to get
+one is to buy an evaluation board with an ST-LINK integrated, and pinouts
+to program external chips. This should work with any evaluation board from
+STM; we have tested with STM32F4DISCOVERY (with ST-LINK v2.0) and 
+NUCLEO-F411RE (with ST-LINK v2.1).
+
+The ST-LINK programming pins are the 1+4 throughole pads above the ARM
+on the circuit board. See the schematics for details, but the pinout
+from left to right (1, space, 4) of rev01 is
+
+  NRST, space, CLK, IO, GND, VCC
+
+First remove the pair of ST-LINK jumpers (CN4 on the DISCO, CN2 on the
+NUCLEO). Then find the 6-pin SWD header on the left of the STM board (CN2
+on the DISCO, CN4 on the NUCLEO), and connect them to the dev-bridge
+board:
+
+* 5 T_NRST <-> NRST
+* 2 T_JTCK <-> CLK
+* 4 T_JTMS <-> IO
+* 3 GND <-> GND
+
+The dev-bridge board should be connected to the Novena and powered on
+before attempting to flash it.
+
+
+Debugging the firmware
+======================
+
+This site shows several ways to use various debuggers to debug the
+firmware in an STM32:
+
+  http://fun-tech.se/stm32/OpenOCD/gdb.php
+
+I've only managed to get the most basic text line gdb to work,
+something along these lines:
+
+1) Start OpenOCD server (with a configuration file for your type of ST-LINK
+   adapter)
+
+   $ openocd -f /usr/share/openocd/scripts/board/stm32f4discovery.cfg
+
+2) Connect to the OpenOCD server and re-flash already compiled firmware:
+
+   $ telnet localhost 4444
+   reset halt
+   flash probe 0
+   stm32f2x mass_erase 0
+   flash write_bank 0 /path/to/main.bin 0
+   reset halt
+
+3) Start GDB and have it connect to the OpenOCD server:
+
+   $ arm-none-eabi-gdb --eval-command="target remote localhost:3333" main.elf
+
