+# Example Codes for the STM32 NUCLEO-L053R8
+
+This repository contains many example programs that are written to run on the
+NUCLEO-L053R8 Board.
+
+## Running
+
+Some programs require additional libraries for logging/formatting that would
+make the more basic ones not compile (or rather link) correctly. For those,
+enable the `logging` feature.
+
+```bash
+cargo run --example=blinky
+cargo run --example=rtc-log --features=logging
+# etc
+```
