3.2.2 Software requirements:

In order to change the code on the board you would need an ARM C compiler and debugger
software, the possible software options are:
- free open-source software: OpenOCD (all Olimex OpenOCD JTAG debuggers are supported in
OpenOCD)
- free software: CooCox IDE (all Olimex JTAGs are supported in CooCox)
- commercial software: EW-ARM from IAR Systems AB; CrossWorks from Rowley (all Olimex
OpenOCD JTAG debuggers are supported in IAR and Rowley Crossworks; note that our debugging
tools doesn't work in Keil MDK-ARM).

It is a good idea to study the example that is provided by Olimex for your board. If you are not
willing to purchase the software just use the evaluation version initially.
Specifically, for STM32-H405 Olimex provides only IAR EW for ARM example. It is a good idea
to download the latest time-limited evaluation version.
