Just try to add the stm32f20x.h from the STM driver lib and then just
patch in the missing features or flags. This would be mich easier that
to try to understand and convert the stm driver lib.

Yes but most of it is possible to be handled by #ifdef. I just checked.

As long as you stay in devnut_m3n this might be a way to do it. But I am
pretty sure it must be possible to keep all in stm32.

With the STM32F10x not all possible devices are supported until now.
LCD, SD-Card/SDIO, SPI and ADC could be much more feature rich and
clean. Timers are supported only for PWM config.

But USARTs, I2C and other peripherals do not have much more features
available regardless of manufacturer and core. So if they did not change
the names to much, it should work to change the names in the stm32fxxx.h
And you might not want to change/duplicate the whole stm32.nut file...
No you don't, it costed me some nights to write that.

What might be difficult is to understand the pll setup that I wrote, as
it works reverse. You configure the clock you have and write the speed
you want. The rest is done by the pll code. This code is completely
different from the STM lib.

But a hint: The stm lib is educative code, so worse performance and big
code results. But it clearly shows of how to init certain devices. Keep
the follow up of the init codes and rewrite the rest :)

As I told you by PM, I have the 3221G-EVAL for STM32F20x and the small
STM32F40x kit. So keep updated. I also have holidays in one week and try
to go into nutos open tasks right away.

Best regards
