When the STM32 first came out the staffing understood about IC design and the libraries were super solid, in recent years with money and hires it seems to be a bit of a train-wreck, with recurrent issues, lack of any regression testing, and no real-world use, or dog-fooding of what's being delivered.

A great deal of this stuff could be miles better with the use of GitHub, and some people who understand threaded/concurrent execution, and how this code is likely to be used outside noddy examples.

When I was the engineering back-stop to a technical support team, my goal was to keep their phones quiet from the 'noise' of repetitive and recurrent issues we could fix before product left the factory dock, so we could focus on identifying real, evolving and new issues caused by the OS and computer vendors our products plugged into.

Nemerix used to have a GPS based on the Leon 3 SPARQ implementation.

Navspark now has one, you can purchase a dual GNSS stamp for $6.

With the millions Intel threw at Arduino, I doubt highly that they will let ST products see the light of day. Also, since Intel is throwing money at

 and their ESP32 makes it even less likely you'll see ST products featured on the Arduino products. Sorry Charlie.

stm32duino is actually stm

https://github.com/stm32duino

 see the 'people' box, the only one who doesn't work for stm is Roger, who was one of the first one to make a core for stm32 boards 

https://github.com/rogerclarkmelbourne/Arduino_STM32

 

there is a long history really, years ago everything was started from leaflab then some enthusiastics tried to continue their work and one of them was roger. Then STM cames and made their own repository

I curently use the stm32duino core, if you have time you should give them an hand to facilitate the spread of stm32 product among the hobbist
