NuEclipse vs STM32CubeIDE
Both stand on embedded development ides. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.
Free plan LinuxWindows
Choose NuEclipse for free project creation, building, debugging, and flashing across its listed NuMicro targets on Windows or Linux. Cortex-M users who prefer Visual Studio Code can use the separate pack; the listed IDE variants are divided between 8-bit SDCC and Cortex-M GCC targets.
