I had problems porting the RTS to the Nucleo boards because the st-util 
application does not talk to them.  I have to convert the elf file 
executable to an Intel hex file and then download it to the board via 
the ST-LINK GUI.
I couldn't use the GNAT GPS debugger so it was difficult getting anywhere.
I just got a F401 Discovery board and got the GNAT Ada working on it and
now I can use that (with only minor mods) to get the Nucleo 401 and 411 
boards working.  So far everything looks good.  I still have to manually 
load the hex files but the Nucleo boards now work.  I have an article 
coming out soon in "Electronic Design" magazine that describes some of 
my work with Ada on the ARM boards.  It is really nice to finally have 
such a great language on such powerful micro-controllers!
