I downloaded the STM32f3 Board support package. 
I assumed these would be for Cube IDE, but they don't seem to be.  If not how are these meant to be used?

Thanks in advance.

Hello @BrianM @and welcome to the ST Community.

I suggest you to install CubeMX and download your Cube firmware throw CubeMX. Like that you Will be able to use it in your STM32CubeIde And MX Projects.

Best Regards.

I downloaded CubeMX. 

From the startup screen I assume I click on I need to >  Start my project from example > Access to example selector.

I'm using the 32F3348 DISCOVERY board. Neither this board or any STM32F3xx boards seem to be on the list.

I found the option to download packages in the Embedded software packs manager.
After seemingly installing anything referring to STM32F3xx from version 1.0.0 to 1.11.5 there are still no relevant examples after clicking on Access to example selector. 
Then I saw the option to install from a local file and received the error "This package version is already available on the current STM32CubeMX repository"

Locally installed packages were: en.stm32cubef3.zipen & patch-cubef3-v1-11-5.zip

I assume I must be looking in the wrong place?

Please cite a link to what specifically you're talking about / downloaded.

The F3 was released well over a decade ago, so is probably not top-of-mind, and the earlier packages used the SPL (Standard Peripheral Library), would likely drop into KEIL (circa-uV4) or IAR

The HAL / CUBE variants for ST's boards can be found here

https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/STM32CubeF3/tree/master/Drivers/BSP

https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/STM32CubeF3/tree/master/Projects/STM32F303ZE-Nucleo/Examples/CRC/CRC_Example

But again not tailored to CubeIDE / MX via .IOC files.

The downloads were from this page. https://www.st.com/en/embedded-software/stm32cubef3.html
After re-reading the page these are for CubeMX, not CubeIDE. 

In either CubeMX or CubeIDE the MCUs appear as options to start a project, so I assume they'd be supported. Is that incorrect?

Yes, you can start your project using the STM32F3 MCUs from both standalone STM32CuebeMX and the CubeMX embedded on the STM32CubeIDE.

Best Regards.
