Question

How do I turn my files into something I can flash onto my microprocessor?

Apologies for what might be a simple question but this is my first time working with an STM32 MCU. I am working on a project to make an RPN calculator from someone who never fully completed the project documentation. I am trying to currently flash firmware to an STM32L476 and the only files given to me under the "firmware" section of the documentation are an .ioc file, some C files, and header files. I have tried using Cube IDE and Cube Programmer but even with looking at documentation and searching via google, I have no idea how I'm supposed to turn those files into something that I can actually put onto the processor. If someone could help guide me on what I have to do it would be greatly appreciated.

Typically you'd Build the Project (Compile and Link)

Once that's done successfully you download the firmware image (ELF, BIN or HEX file) with an ST-LINK ​
