Setting up CubeIDE for RA-08/ASM6601?

So I have seen several people say they used the Cube IDE to program the RA-08 from AI-Thinker. They say it was super easy and I love CubeIDE. but for the life of me I don't understand how they did it. Please help?

    Well, even if you cite the sources, I question their statement because the STM32CubeIDE only supports STM32 from STMicroelectronics. However, the RA-08 module from Ai-Thinker uses the ASR6601 chip from the Chinese manufacturer ASR, as you can read in its description, which has absolutely nothing to do with STM32:

    Ra-08-Kit is a LoRaWAN development board designed and developed by Shenzhen Ai-Thinker Technology Co., Ltd. [...]

    The chip ASR6601 on the development board is a general-purpose LPWAN wireless communication SoC that integrates an RF transceiver, a modem and a 32-bit RISC MCU. The MCU adopts ARM core, and the operating frequency can reach 48MHz. [...]

    If the problem is solved, please mark this thread as answered by selecting Select as best, as also explained here. This will help other users find that answer faster.
