Introduction
Up to now there is a loot of IDE (Compiler and Debugger) for the Cortex Mx, in this page there is a little list of the principal IDE that are used for develop on STM32.
Free toolchains for Windows or Linux exist and a short list is here.
In addition to the development environment is also necessary JTAG emulator that is normally provided by the vendors listed above.
There are, of course, other vendors that offer compatible JTAG emulators with leading development environments.
An alternative may be the ST-LINK-v2 that allows you to interface the STM32 by standard JTAG but also by SWD (two wires).
ST-LINK-v2 support STM8 and STM32.
IMPORTANT:
All
the STM library are release in ANSI C and CMSIS so is it possible use it under
all C-Compiler (IDE).
The toolchain directly supported by STM also contain the configuration files of themselves.

Eva Boards
There are a loot of eva boards for STM32.
STM released the STM32-NUCLEO boards that are ARDUINO compatible, also there is a dedicate eva boards named DISCOVERY Kits and for all the STM32 family, there are one or more professional eva boards (called Evaluation boards) that are the reference design.

For see the eva boards go in the related pages of the STM32F0, F1, F2, etc, or see here.
On the STM32-NUCLEO boards is possible use all the Arduino shield, also STM offers Nucleo Expansion Boards that you find here.

System Workbench for STM32
System Workbench for STM32 is the STM free Integrated Development Environment for STM32 microprocessors (the logo is AC6)
ATTENTION:
Before to access to the Workbench for STM32 you must register on it.
Please read this note: How to install the Workbench for STM32
For test your AC6 installation download this example (it is for STM32F7-Discovery).
Unzip the example into: C:\TestAC6
Run AC6 and choose the workspace: C:\TestAC6
You must compile and debug without problem if your AC6 installation is OK.
