Ok.

I experienced problems too with stlink on ST board STM32F429. I switch on openocd tool (release 0.8.0) to communicate with the board and create the gdb server to connect with GPS. I notice there is a configuration file for the board Nucleo 401 (st_nucleo_f401re.cfg).

I am totally agree with you. It is nice to have the opportunity for beginners, students, hobbyists, and professionals to experiment Ada 2012 on embedded applications in a $30 microcontroller target.

Good luck for your work!
