Warning: Our impression of the Maple Ide is that it is not yet as mature as some of the other solutions and the usb drivers stop working frequently. Maple has been added to the free plugin and the debugger by user request. Our personal option is that Maple is not very easy to use or support and might lead to fustration for less experienced users.
14th Jan 2013: Build and upload now fully supported for maple REV6 boards. Debug trace/break is supported. Other maple ide boards have not been tested. We would appreciate feed back to the forum from experienced users.
Our Personal Maple Observations and Tips
When working with Maple SerialUSB in your code and also using the debugger please read these important tips
On windows 7 64 bit we found that the leaflabs serial port would periodically stop working. We have not tested other versions of windows
On windows 8 the Maple usb can completely disappear.
Maple authors have announced reduced support for windows
The Maple IDE can be downloaded from here
To install the usb drivers from the maple ide folder, win8 users will need to switch to allowing unsigned usb driver installation
Stm32 Usb Debug - Trace Mode
To use Leaflabs compatible hardware with Visual Micro please download the Maple Ide
As always we say, use at your own risk!!
