How to use arduino IDE to program other MCU board

How to use arduino IDE to program other MCU board (not in board list)?

Welcome to the forum

Which board do you have in mind ?

Maybe if the chip is the same as one of the Arduinos. And I assume your chip doesn't have the Arduino bootloader programmed into it so you'd have to use a separate hardware programmer.

But probably not and even if it works you'll probably have to make lots of modifications and it wouldn't be worth it. (Just for example, the pin numbers on the Arduino board don't match the pin numbers on the chip.)

You'll probably need a development system for your specific processor. Usually, that's going to require a development board and possibly a chip-programmer if the development board doesn't double as a programmer.

This can get complicated and expensive. Almost nothing is as simple and straightforward as the Arduino unless you get a "single board computer" like the Raspberry Pi.

Which board are you talking about and which board list do you mean? The Arduino IDE supports a couple of processors/boards 'out of the box', but there are many cores out there that can be additionally installed to support more processors/boards.
