I'm not like the majority of hobbyist embedded developers-I don't use vendor peripheral libraries or frameworks, preferring to write my own code from scratch. This is where I started to run into issues. Once that was done, I was able to create a project targeting the STM32F407 on one of my development boards.

I already had VS Community Edition 2015 installed, which saved some time, but when I first tried to create a project in VS using the VisualGDB plug-in, it needed to download a C++ package from Microsoft, which took about 20 minutes on my DSL connection. Downloading and installing VisualGDB is straightforward.
What really makes this an inexpensive proposition is that it works with Visual Studio Community Edition, which is a free download. I sprang for the $89 embedded version since I mainly work on embedded code for ARM Cortex-M MCUs. There are several levels available for developing Android, Linux, and embedded applications ranging from $89 to $349. This isn't an IDE in itself, but rather an add-on to Microsoft Visual Studio that supports compiling and debugging code for non-Windows targets. This week, I took time out from coding to look at three tools ranging from free to USD$89.
I'm always on the lookout for a better set of tools for doing development, and occasionally take a look at new tools, or older tools that I haven't looked at in a while. I'd rather spend the money on a scope or other test equipment. We use both of these tools at work, but I just can't justify paying $3-5K for a development tool for hobby use. As a hobbyist, I don't have the budget for high-end ARM development tools like IAR and Keil.
