I have also added a maple-ret6.rst (which will generate a new file /docs/hardware/maple-ret6.html), which includes the link to the STM32F103RET6 datasheet.

I am not sure STM32F103 implements r2p1, which is dated 7th July 2010!-) AFAIK you have to register with arm.com and agree to their license to obtain a copy of the "ARM Architecture Reference Manual", so a link is less useful than a downloadable document. The "Cortex -M3 Revision: r1p1 Technical Reference Manual" is freely download-able. I don't know the details of the ARM license, but if I were ST, I would prefer to have manuals branded with my logo and not ARM. PM0056 is pretty useful, and would have been even better if the instruction timing had been included. Though it isn't adequate proof of license policy, Altera host an old ARM Technical Reference Manual <a href="http://www.altera.com/literature/third-party/ddi0100e_arm_arm.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.altera.com/literature/third-party/ddi0100e_arm_arm.pdf</a> and you can find other copies about via google. I agree a wiki page would be okay. The hardest thing to track is the revision dates. I think ST may have changed to an approach which uses new file names for new versions. Combined with ST's google-unfriendly web-site it may be an irritating task to track document versions.

Thanks for the edit. RM0008 is already included on some LeafLabs documentation pages, such as <a href="http://leaflabs.com/docs/usb.html">http://leaflabs.com/docs/usb.html</a> but it is simply described in a footnote and as Reference Manual/13902.pdf (and not as RM0008). The importance of this file is not emphasized as much as it could be, although to be fair it is included in the STMicro documentation section of the "Recommended Reading". In my original post I asked if anyone was interested in starting a page on the wiki where this information (and hopefully other information) could be posted. Besides the hyperlinks to the files the release dates (or version numbers) of the PDFs and ZIP files may also be important to users who want to know when they should update their files. Currently (in April 2011): RM0008 is in version 12 (2011 Jan) PM0056 is in version 04 (2011 Mar) gbulmer, as your URL indicates the Cortex M3 Technical Reference Manual (TRM) file is not an st.com document, but is an arm.com document. If my understanding is correct, st.com licenses from arm.com the ability to make cortex m3 based chips, but that arm.com does not make any chips. Maybe the license does not include the ability to host arm.com documents on licensee web sites? The most recent version of the Cortex-M3 TRM seems to be from 2010 (it is now April 2011 for future readers). Here is the link to the web version of r2p1 (release 2 printing 1?) <a href="http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.ddi0337i/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.ddi0337i/index.html</a> The PDF version of TRM r2p1 can be downloaded from: <a href="http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.ddi0337i/DDI0337I_cortexm3_r2p1_trm.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.ddi0337i/DDI0337I_cortexm3_r2p1_trm.pdf</a> Enjoy! <a href="http://forums.leaflabs.com/profile.php?id=843">Stephen from NYC</a> (full disclosure: I am not a member of the LeafLabs staff) gbulmer on "Links to STMicroelectronics Resources" http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=703#post-4360 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 16:20:14 +0000 gbulmer 4360@http://forums.leaflabs.com/ mbolivar - you might want to add: "RM0008 Reference manual STM32F101xx, STM32F102xx, STM32F103xx, STM32F105xx and STM32F107xx advanced ARM-based 32-bit MCUs" <a href="http://www.st.com/internet/com/TECHNICAL_RESOURCES/TECHNICAL_LITERATURE/REFERENCE_MANUAL/CD00171190.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.st.com/internet/com/TECHNICAL_RESOURCES/TECHNICAL_LITERATURE/REFERENCE_MANUAL/CD00171190.pdf</a> which is the hardware reference for all of the peripherals.
