Arduino for STM32

Hello,
I am fairly new to the world of microcontrollers and I have recently started a project for automated control of DC motors for active suspension applications. Currently the system has arduino nano board which is to be replaced by the stm32f411E-DISCO board however I am not able to detect this board in Arduino IDE even after installing the packages. moreover, this particular board stm32f411E-DISCO is not to be found anywhere inside the discovery board list. What could be the alternative or workaround for this? or should i simply code inside STMCubeIDE, Arduino code seems simpler to learn. Could anyone please guide me, would be highly appreciated thank you.

a few things.

1. you should first try to figure out if this is a hardware problem. ST has a stand-alone programer that detects the stlink and chip it connects to. try that first.
2. arduino supports stlink so once you clear #1, you should be able to compile a simpy blinky and upload it to the chip.
3. find out the underline chip on your discovery board and select the closest board in arduino with that chip.
