    3. Install make
    4. Install openocd
    5. Install vs code with extensions: stm32-for-vscode, ms-vscode.cpptools

  2. Follow this reference to create a blinky project. (pdf backup here)

    1. Note: Project Manager->Project->Toolchain/IDE and set it to Makefile. according to bonnee/stm32vscode.md
    2. Note: Under the Code generator tab, enable the Copy all used libraries into the project folder option. This step is needed because stm32-for-vscode doesn't support the implicit inclusion of libraries yet. according to bonnee/stm32vscode.md

  3. In vscode press F1 and run Build STM32 Project and F5 to debug

  4. make and st-flash write build/maple-mini-blinky-cubemx.bin 0x8000000
