We need to have a similar kind of source, include & libraries path to compile code for respective microcontroller project. Here STM32 uses cortex M4 and so used the respective flags. These flags are altered correspondingly with respect to microcontrollers involved.

I formatted the provided CMake code to get highlighting.

Is there a question here?
