The Discovery board does not use Linux, nor any other op-sys... you program it "bare metal", as they say, in C language...
you have complete control of every and each cycle of the CPU... I know, I used that board for prototyping the
firmware for the Elad DUO <http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/11933> RTX.
It is a joy to work with, especially as the Cortex ARM M4F has a 32-bit floating point unit, essential for all
those DSP computations (FFT, FIR, etc.) needed on an SDR.
