Hi berendi

For HAL

• Comes with a boatload of examples for most peripherals.

I am sorry, but where exactly would I find these examples for the Cube IDE. Specifically I am looking for HAL drivers for the nordic BMD350 and CAM-M8Q which I want to connect to STM32L432KC...

Thank you so much for a short reply, since I am somehow completely stuck...

That's not really the function of the STM32 HAL.

The purpose of the STM32 HAL is to abstract the hardware of the STM32 - not to support 3rd-party products.

You would look to the 3rd party to provide support for their products.

Do you mean this: https://content.u-blox.com/sites/default/files/BMD-350_DataSheet_UBX-19033354.pdf ?

Note that this is actually a uBlox product (formerly Rigado).

Also uBlox.

So the HAL would provide support for the STM32's UART, SPI, or whatever, and HAL examples demonstrate UART operation, etc.

For the specifics of what these uBlox products send over those interfaces, you'd need to go to uBlox.

 

Note that there is Arduino for STM32:

which might mean that you can use Arduino libraries for these parts ...
