How to install this Core?

1. Download and install the Arduino IDE (at least version v1.8.13)
2. Start the Arduino IDE
3. This Core requires STM32duino/ArduinoCoreSTM32, please install it using this link : ArduinoCoreSTM32
4. Go to Preferences
5. Copy & Add the following JSON URL to your "Additional Board Manager URL"

https://fabienferrero.github.io/ArduinoBoardManagerJSON/package_leat-echostar-terminal_index.json

5. Open the Boards Manager from the Tools -> Board menu and install "LEAT EchoStar Terminals"
6. Select your board from the Tools -> Board menu
7. Config the appropriate settings in Tools menu (we use DFU to upload the code)
8. Reset the Echostar terminal in boot mode (press the boot and reset buttons at the same time, and release the reset button first)
9. Upload your source code.
