Can I use Arduino IDE with this STM32 MPU and Programmer?

Thank you very much for your answers!

The "STC" thing you got is definitely a useful tool for communication with your STM32G030C8T6 dev board, but you aren't going to be able to use it to flash a bootloader binary to the microcontroller, and you also won't be able to use it to upload sketch programs to the microcontroller unless the microcontroller already has a suitable bootloader installed.

Thanks. When I purchased this "STC" thing I had no idea, what was right or wrong about it. So I am glad to know, that I will not waste time on trying to make it work on this board.

That forum isn't super busy, but it certainly isn't accurate to say "not active anymore":

Thanks for this info about STM32duino. I tried to be part of the forum there six days ago, and my confirmation is still pending. If I try to send them a message, they make the statement, that it is normal, that you have to wait for confirmation - so don't write to us about it. Anyway I am glad, that you can confirm that the work about this is not abandoned.

If you want to go on easy mode, get one of the NUCLEO boards manufactured by STMicroelectronics. These have a built in STLINK-V3 which acts as a programmer, USB to serial interface, and debug probe. They are available for a very reasonable price.

Yes, in the mean time I have been informed about that too. I have been recommended to get MCU for BLDC motor FOC with STM32G4xx processors. I found three NUCLEO boards, that I think might be attractive for that, and especially:

So I am going to try that, and I may forget about my board with STM32G030C8T6.

Alternatively, you might take a look at Arduino's own GIGA R1 WiFi board. This board uses the STM32H747XI microcontroller, which has significantly more resources.

I have tried to look the specifications on this MPU. It is a fast processor with a lot of memory and a double precision FPU. But the specs seems to specify no ADC, and I think I need at least two ADCs to measure currents for motor FOC control. The only "normal" Arduino MCU I found with with two ADCs is the ESP32. The STM32G474 have got five ADCs and six internal Op-amps.
