STM32L152RET6 Chip with LPC11u35 bootloader (similar to seeedstudio ARCH MAX)

Is there a tutorial aside from the information at the weblink below describing how to make an mbed ready device similar to the seedstudio ARCH MAX that uses the LPC11u35 to flash the STM32 chip? In particular I assume the bootloader .bin file will be different for the STM32L152RET6 chip and will need to be developed. How does one go about this process?

ST-LINK/V2 firmware has algorithms included for all the STM MCU's or at least all the targets on the platform page.

The problem is getting hold of and loading the ST-LINK bootloader on a fresh MCU, not sure if it is available.

Paul .. ST will release the bootloader but the company needs to request it from ST and follow the business agreement in place. We were able to obtain it from ST and roll it into production.

Thanks Bill that's handy to know.

Bill. That's interesting as I have been in contact with ST's technical support folks and they said ST would NOT provide the needed firmware and recommend using the USB DFU as the only option or to try to using a mbed option such as the LPC11u35. Could you provide your contact at ST whom you've been working with? Thanks!
