Windows 7 64bit

• Install the following
• Tool Chain https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded
• basic gnu tools mingw, I used http://www.yagarto.de/download/yagarto/yagarto-tools-20121018-setup.exe from http://www.yagarto.de/
• ST-Link V2 USB Driver http://www.st.com/web/en/catalog/tools/PF258167
• OpenOCD for windows 64 from http://www.freddiechopin.info/en/download/category/10-openocd-dev
• Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/juno/SR2/eclipse-cpp-juno-SR2-win32-x86_64.zip

Starting GDB server

1. Connect the ST-link or the discovery board and ensure that the USB driver is found
2. In a terminal(cmd) window go to the bin-x64 directory where the openOCD is located
3. Start openocd > openocd-x64-0.7.0-rc2.exe -f stm32f4discovery.cfg
4. There should not be any errors, this is setting up a GDB server on localhost port 3333 so it will need network access. If you see "Info : stm32f4x.cpu: hardware has 6 breakpoints, 4 watchpoints" then the connection is probably working
