Using ChibiStudio
This documentation will cover the installation of ChibiStudio, ugfx and st-linkV2 for mikromedia STM32F4 board. But, if you use another board/programmer it's should be working with some modifications. For the moment, ChibiStudio is only available for Windows. If you want to install it on Linux or OSX please refer to the official site of chibios.

Then after the extraction you need to have a folder like :
c:\chibistudio

- start a git command prompt

Congratulation, you have finished the installation process. Now you need to do some customization because the board is not officially supported by chibios.
