ABOUT
=====

bareCortexM is an Eclipse project template for bare metal development of ARM
Cortex M processors.

With this project you can compile, flash, run and debug code on various ARM
processors and microcontrollers. Currently there is complete support for the 
STM32F1XX, STM32F2XX and STM32F4XX microcontrollers.
