I'd like to help out (where I can).

As far as I remember, you have a STM32F4xx, correct ?

If we all have the same model STM32F4xx and we all have one or 
more different MCUs, we could probably do some initial drafts.
-Because I'm sure there are obstacles we do not think about in 
advance.
Testing some drafts on several MCUs in the beginning, will help 
us avoid a lot of trouble later on.

I have STM32F407, STM32F427, STM32F429 (I use these regularly).
On the shelf, I have LPC812, LPC1114, LPC1342 (seems to be dead 
though), LPC1549 (I don't have any libraries for this one yet), 
LPC1751, LPC1768, LPC1788 and LPC4337.
Though I have a few from Freescale, I am not able to 
flash-program them, as I have no driver for them in OpenOCD.
