Hello,

I am new to stm programming so please bare with me. I got a STM32L496G-DISCO board and I have downloaded the examples for the board from: https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/STM32CubeF4/tree/master/Projects/STM32469I-Discovery

I downloaded Cube IDE but the build button is greyed out. I thought - hey I need to select a toolchain and build tools but having used eclipse when I click on project properties those options are missing (I have attached some screenshots). I think that I am doing something wrong - can anyone help?:D

You've got an L4 board, not an F4 one.

Download the CubeL4 package, and unpack/review that.

Suggest using Keil or IAR
