There is an ST Micro press release about STM32 development tools on Linux.

It says:
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.

NB the quoted URL doesn’t work, but the link does.

It also says
System Workbench for STM32 supports the ST-LINK/V2 debugging tool under Linux through an adapted version of the OpenOCD community project.

With the footnote:
OpenOCD: Open On-Chip Debug. A free and open project to develop software debug for ARM-based embedded systems, designed to run directly on-chip.

So, this is likley to encourage more people to use STM32.

I think Eclipse is too complex for beginners and people who don’t code most days. So this might attract a whole new slew of stm32duino users who find Eclipse overwhelming!

It’s a very fuzzy line… Between those who deep-dive in microprocessors and those who use a Linux RPi with Python or the middle level non-OS board with a slimmed down high level language (like Micropython or microLua or slimmed-down Javascript).

It’s all good, I think, as compared to teaching young ones and liberal arts majors spaghetti code BASIC.

Oh ! Ray ! you make me do some FlashBack from my own experience ! :D
In the 79/80 years, been at school learning about MC6800 on Motorola D1 Kit with only 128 bytes (yes, only bytes) during normal courses, I was going to local CompuServe store after courses in the evenings, bringing my Apple ][ 5 1/4inch floppy disk with me, and once arrived (with contentment of the clerk) I was grabbing the keyboard and doing a “call -151” to go into Monitor.
Later on, my “end-of-study” project was an Apple ][ done in “Wire-Wrap” (almost 1000ft of wire), I didn’t went to CompuServe anymore.
