+## Flashing the device
+
+The ST Nucleo-L476RG board includes an on-board ST-LINK V2 programmer. The
+easiest way to program the board is to use OpenOCD. Once you have installed
+OpenOCD (look [here](https://github.com/RIOT-OS/RIOT/wiki/OpenOCD) for
+installation instructions), you can flash the board simply by typing
+
+```
+make BOARD=nucleo-l476rg flash
+```
+and debug via GDB by simply typing
+```
+make BOARD=nucleo-l476rg debug
+```
+
+
+## Supported Toolchains
+
+For using the ST Nucleo-L476RG board we strongly recommend the usage of the
+[GNU Tools for ARM Embedded Processors](https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded)
+toolchain.
