How do I get started/flash an HY-MiniSTM32V Dev Board + 3.2" TFT LCD Module?

As I learn about Espruino, I'm trying out a lot of different stuff. This board with a color TFT, touch-screen display was listed in the "unoffical" boards, I got one at a steal, and it arrived today.

HY-MiniSTM32V Dev Board + 3.2" TFT LCD Module

So, how do I flash it? I have no idea where to start.

Also, are there modules already available to drive and sense the display?

Also, it has a kind of nifty demo already flashed on it... is there some way to dump this so I can flash it back later if I want to?

Never mind, figured it out... there's a build for it: espruino_1v85_hystm32_32_vc

I'm up and running!

Glad you got it sorted - for others that are looking, there's some info on getting started with other boards here: http://www.espruino.com/Other+Boards

Is the SDIO interface to the SD card implemented? All I've been able to find on the site is discussion/code/modules for the SPI interface to an SD card.

If it is implemented, how do I access it? I while I can determine the pins on the STM32 the SDIO card reader is connected to, I don't know what Espruino calls to make (or module to load, if any) to set up with those pins and access the card.

Yes, I'm pretty sure it is implemented. Because the firmware is compiled knowing about the SD card connections it's already set up.

Try require("fs").readdirSync() to see if it can read the files off the card.

There's some info here too: http://www.espruino.com/File+IO
