ST X-NUCLEO-SAFEA1B Mode d'emploi
Introduction
The X-NUCLEO-SAFEA1B expansion board is based on the STSAFE-A110 secure element. It can be used with any STM32
Nucleo development board.
The on-board STSAFE-A110 is customized with a standard profile for evaluation and is compatible with the Arduino UNO R3
connector.
The X-NUCLEO-SAFEA1B expansion board is used with free X-CUBE-SAFEA1 or X-CUBE-SBSFU software packages
containing sample code to demonstrate how to implement security applications.

1 Getting started
1.1 Hardware requirements
The X-NUCLEO-SAFEA1B expansion board can be connected to any STM32 Nucleo development board through
the matching Arduino UNO R3 connector pins.
Note: Handle the X-NUCLEO-SAFEA1B with care and avoid bending or damaging the pins as the board has male/
female pass-through connectors and ESD sensitive components.
1.2 System requirements
To complete the system setup, you need:
• a PC running Windows version 7, 8 or 10
• a USB type A to mini-B USB cable to connect the STM32 Nucleo to the PC
• software package (X-CUBE-SAFEA1 or X-CUBE-SBSFU) installed on the user PC
• one of the compatible software development environments: IAR, Arm Keil, AC6, or Atolic

2 Hardware description
The X-NUCLEO-SAFEA1B expansion board has an embedded STSAFE-A110 secure element to allow you to
evaluate its authentication and data management services connected to a local or remote host.
This STSAFE-A110 is factory personalized with a generic sample profile.
The main features of the X-NUCLEO-SAFEA1B expansion board are:
• On-board STSAFE-A110 customized with a standard evaluation profile
• HE10 extension connector to mount additional STSAFE devices
• Arduino UNO R3 connector
• Free drivers, middleware and software samples compatible with the STM32 ODE
• RoHS and WEEE compliant
The X-NUCLEO-SAFEA1B interfaces with the STM32 Nucleo microcontrollers via the I²C communication bus.
2.1 Jumpers and solder bridges
Table 1. X-NUCLEO-SAFEA1B expansion board jumper and solder bridge functions
Jumper Alternative soldering point function
P1 SB13 Connects embedded LD3 green LED to STM32 Nucleo board
P4 SB1 Connects embedded 2.2kΩ pull-ups to I²C bus for SCL
P5 SB2 Connects embedded 2.2kΩ pull-ups to I²C bus for SDA
P7 Can be used to put STSAFE-A110 secure element in reset mode
SB5 Can be used to drive the STSAFE-A110 reset pin via the STM32 MCU PC0 GPIO
2.2 Connector
X-NUCLEO-SAFEA1B Nucleo expansion board has an HE10 extension connector (J2) to mount an additional
STSAFE-A1xx secure element.
Note: If you use the connector to accommodate new generation STSAFE-A devices, be sure that you insert jumper P7
to place the current STSAFE-A110 secure element soldered on the board in reset mode.

3 STM32L4 series microcontroller software
The STM32 ODE software package X-CUBE-SAFEA1 provides demonstration source code for a NUCLEO-
L476RG development board with X-NUCLEO-SAFEA1B expansion. The X-CUBE-SAFEA1 package includes
drivers, middleware and several demonstration codes that implement the features of the STSAFE-A110 device
through a host microcontroller. The demonstration codes use the STSAFE-A1xx middleware built on the
STM32Cube software technology. They illustrate authentication, key pair generation, key establishment, local
envelope wrapping and pairing features.
Another package, called X-CUBE-SBSFU, provides demonstration source code for Secure Boot and Secure
Firmware Update solution. It updates of the STM32 microcontroller firmware with new features and addresses
potential issues. The update process is a secure operation using the STSAFE-A110 to prevent unauthorized
updates and access to confidential on-device data. It is available for the STM32L4 Series microcontrollers with
examples provided for the B-L475E-IOT01A discovery kit with the X-NUCLEO-SAFEA1B expansion.
