+> **NOTE**
+This example can be used as a starting point for any other ARM Cortex-M MCU, including those based on differnt Cortex-M cores (M0/M0+/M3/M4/M7/M23/M33/M55/M85...) The most simplifying factor is that the QP-ports to Cortex-M don't need to change at all (the correct port is selected automatically based on the standard preprocessor macros provided by the compiler).

+# Uploading the Binary to the Board
+The STM32 NUCLEO boards enumerate as a USB drive when connected to the host computer. The boards then can be programmed by **copying** the binary to that USB drive. This can be useful for the command-line GNU/ARM build. For example, to program the binary produced for the Debug configuration, you can type:
+
+```
+copy dbg\dpp-qk.bin E:
+```
+NOTE: The above command assumes that the NUCLEO board enumerated as drive E:. Of course you need to adjust the command for your specific drive letter.
+
+Alternatively, if you use IDEs, such as KEIL-MDK or IAR EWARM, you can program the board from the IDE (e.g., by starting a debug session).

 # Tracing with QP/Spy
 When the board is flashed with the Spy build configuration, it produces the QP/Spy software tracing output to the built-in virtual COM port of the TivaC LauchPad board. The trace is binary rather than ASCII, and therefore requires a special host-based application called QSPY.
