Where should I start with a STM32F429ZGT6?

Hi! I am interested in start a STM32F429ZGT6 project but there lacks a method.
And, I honestly have no clue as to where to start. I’ve gotten about as far as downloading and installing CodeSourcery Lite…and that’s about it.
I’m comfortable with C, I’m comfortable with vim, couldn’t do a make file if my life depending on it. Most of my C projects have been small enough to not really require build scripts, which is probably the key reason I haven’t learned make.
Most of the tutorials that I’ve googled up are for something different (and I don’t know enough to make the changes for what I have) or just not very good.

My goal as for now, is to make the LEDs blink.
I can break it down (I think) into two questions:
Where do I find documentation for this thing? I have the example code, but is that it?
What exactly ARE the compilation to hex to board steps?

Hi,

This tutorial can guide you through creating an ARM test project.
The Getting started with STM32 MCU Discovery Kits and the Getting started with software and firmware environments for the STM32F4DISCOVERY Kit is also a good source of information.
