 This template will serve as a quick-start for those who do not wish to use an IDE, but rather develop in a text editor of choice and build from the command line.

+<font color="red">ATTENTION:</font> Because of a copyright issue the linker script (Device/stm32_flash.ld) has been removed from the repository. Programs will not compile without this. I had been using this file which is found in the TrueSTUDIO folder of the STM32F0-Discovery firmware package. Read the copyright notice from the top of that file to see why it cannot be included here. I'll be looking into an open source replacement for it.
