STM32F4DISCOVERY is an ARM Cortex M4 development kit.
I don’t plan to write again a toolchain setup instruction for this board. You can install toolchain and flash tool as per instructions provided in the below link
http://recursive-labs.com/blog/2012/05/07/stm32f4discovery-chibios-linux/ Read the section – Building the toolchain on Debian using “Summon Arm Toolchain”
While installing the toolchain I got an error zlib.h: No such file or directory. On a Debian system you can remove this error by issuing apt-get install zlib1g-dev
The ARM toolchain is build using summon-arm-toolchain script. This toolchain also installs a free GPL V3 based firmware library known as libopencm3.
As I mentioned above, the summon arm toolchain will also install libopencm3. libopencm3 generates some header files during installation. These header files needs python yaml support. The build might stop because of this. You can fix this issue by running apt-get install python-yaml
You can find examples for STM32F4DISCOVERY from https://github.com/libopencm3/libopencm3/tree/master/examples/stm32/f4/stm32f4-discovery

Comments can be emailed or tweeted to me. I would like to hear them and will try to reply.
