FOC control of 2 motors

I am currently working with a STM32G431RB and X-Nucleo-IHM08M1 and a motor with Halls. I want to drive 2 motors independently with the control board. Workbench seems to allow for 2 motors with FOC but not with the STM32G431RB.

In fact, there appears to be no combination of control boards and power boards which allow me to generate a project from Workbench 6.2.1 for 2 motors with FOC. 

Could someone please give me some advice on how to do this

Thanks

Hello @RoyStevens,

For STM32G474E‑EVAL board setup, power boards with "motor control connector" as STEVAL-IPMxx, have to be used.
Inverter boards are all in one setup (control + power) in the same hardware.

Hello @RoyStevens,

For modular type boards, STEVAL-IHM039V1, STM32303E-EVAL and STM32G474E‑EVAL are dual drive capable.
Selecting "2 motors" on Workbench "General Info" tab and Inverter, Dual drive capable inverter boards are displayed.

Thank you for the reply @GMAGMA.   I have selected STM32G474E‑EVAL and X-Nucleo-IHM08M1. There are no bridges available for this combination and when I select the other inverter boards you suggest there are no bridges available on the bridge selector tab in work bench. There is a button " click here to manage adapter devices" which brings up the STMC board manager and a bridge, but I do not know how to make these available to workbench. Some advice would be appreciated - thanks.
