Getting started with BlueNRG-LP evaluation boards

Introduction

This document provides basic information on BlueNRG-LP development kits hardware and

software setup operations. It also describes the key information about the associated

software development package STSW-BNRGLP-DK and some common troubleshooting

cases.

The BlueNRG-LP device is a low power Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE) system-on-chip,

compliant with the Bluetooth® specification and supports master, slave and simultaneous

master-and-slave roles. The device also supports the Bluetooth Low Energy data length

extension feature, 2 Mbps, Long Range and extended advertising features.

The following BlueNRG-LP kits are available:

Development platforms

The STEVAL-IDB011V1 development platform embeds a CMSIS-DAP

programming/debugging interface and features hardware resources for a wide range of

application scenarios: sensor data (accelerometer, pressure and temperature sensor),

human interface (buttons and LEDs), digital MEMS microphone and serial communication

through USB virtual COM.

Figure 1 STEVAL-IDB011V1 development board

Getting Started

The STEVAL-IDB011V1 evaluation board is preprogrammed with Bluetooth LE

Sensor demonstration application for ST BLE Sensor app which allows to set and

establish a connection with a smartphone (iOS or Android) running the ST BLE

Sensor smartphone app (previously known as ST BlueMS).

Once connected, the BlueNRG-LP device sends the data collected from the

accelerometer sensor and environmental sensor (pressure and temperature) to

the ST BLE Sensor smartphone app, which displays this information.

2.1 Powering up the evaluation board

Two power options are available:

•Batteries - To power the selected evaluation board using batteries, 2 AAA batteries must

be inserted into the battery holder BATT1 placed at the rear of the board or, alternatively, a

coin cell battery (CR2032) must be placed on BATT2 region. Jumper JP2 set to position

BAT.

•USB - To power the selected evaluation board through USB, jumper JP2 set to position

USB. Connect a USB cable to the micro-USB connector and to a PC USB port.

Figure 2 . Board power options (JP2)

When powered through USB, the evaluation board is also recognized on Windows

Device Manager as CMSIS-DAP device.

Figure 3 Windows Device Manager - CMSIS-DAP

NOTEs:

1. In Windows 10, no specific driver installation is required.

2. In Windows 7, the following driver must be installed before plugging the

evaluation platform: https://os.mbed.com/docs/mbed-os/v6.0/program-

setup/windows-serial-driver.html

3. The composite device (WebUSB: CMSIS-DAP) installation is not required,

as this functionality is not used.

In this context, once the evaluation platform has been recognized, it should also

appear under Device and drivers as a ST IDB011VX mass storage device:

Figure 4 ST IDB011VX mass storage device

Once powered (batteries or USB), the Sensor Demo application for ST BLE

Sensor app starts advertising, waiting for a smartphone to connect to it.

2.2 Install the ST BLE Sensor app for smartphones (central role)

Two versions (Android and iOS) of the smartphone ST BLE Sensor app are

available for download on the specific web pages (Table 2. Reference

information, Android & iOS Sensor App).

Install the ST BLE Sensor App on the selected smartphone.

2.3 Run ST BLE Sensor app for smartphones

Launch the ST BLE Sensor app on the smartphone

•It starts scanning for the BlueNRG-LP Sensor Demo peripheral device. A device

called “BlueNRGLP” appears on the screen.

•Tap on the “BlueNRGLP” name to connect to the selected STEVAL-IDB011V1

platform. The ST BLE Sensor app enables notifications on the acceleration

characteristic and on the environment characteristics (pressure and

temperature) and it displays the received environment characteristics values on

the screen.

Figure 5 ST BLE Sensor smartphone app environment characteristic notifications

User can also plot the received acceleration values, by selecting the ST BLE Sensor app, Plot

Data window, Accelerometer option. The STEVAL-IDB011V1 accelerometer sensor values (X, Y,

Z) are displayed on a graphical chart.

Software demonstration applications

In order to develop a software application for the STEVAL-IDB011V1 evaluation

board, it is recommended to start with the reference demonstration applications

provided within the BlueNRG-LP Development Kit SW package for BlueNRG-LP

devices (STSW-BNRGLP-DK) available on the STEVAL-IDB011V1 web page:

•Unzip the file, launch the related installer and follow installation steps.

•Wait for the package installation to complete.

•The Projects folder in SW package contains the available demonstration

applications, projects, sources and header files.

The Bluetooth LE Sensor Demo application for ST BLE Sensor app projects

and header and source files are available on

•Projects\BLE_Examples\BLE_SensorDemo_BlueMSapp folder.

IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM (EWARM) and Keil MDK-ARM tools

are needed for building the software applications running on the BlueNRG-

LP microcontroller.

NOTES:

1. For a description of the available BlueNRG-LP demonstration

applications and supported platforms, refer to BlueNRG-LP

development kits user manual (Table 2. Reference information,

UM2735).

2. The BLE_SensorDemo_BlueMSapp.hex prebuilt binary image for

BlueNRG-LP platform is also provided within the Development Kit

software package, in the

Firmware\BLE_Examples\BLE_SensorDemo_BlueMSapp folder.

Troubleshooting 
 The following section reports some tips to be followed if the STEVAL-IDB011V1 platform is 
not recognized as a CMSIS-DAP device once connected to a PC USB port, or if user is not 
able to connect/debug to the selected platform through a CMIS-DAP programmer/debug 
tool: 
 1. The STEVAL-IDB011V1 platform starts always in “MAINTENANCE” mode. 
 a. The USB_CMSISDAP firmware is not loaded. Follows the instructions in the 
UM2735 manual (Table 2. Reference information, UM2735), section 2.9.4 
“USB_CMSISDAP  firmware  update”  in  order  to  load  the  USB_CMSISDAP 
firmware. Please notice that this condition is not expected , since the 
USB_CMSISDAP firmware is programmed at STEVAL-IDB011V1 manufacturing 
time. 
b. The application loaded in the BlueNRG-LP device makes the device continuously 
reset. Since the RTSN signal is used at the startup by the USB_CMSISDAP 
firmware for choosing to start in “MAINTENANCE” mode or not, it is necessary to 
disconnect the RSTN signal of the BlueNRG-LP from the USB_CMSISDAP. In 
order to do it, user must perform the following steps: 
1. Remove the jumper JP5. 
2. Unplug the USB cable (if plugged). 
3. Plug the USB cable. 
4. The mass storage device “ST IDB011VX” should be present among the 
devices in Windows “Devices and drives”. 
5. Put back the jumper JP5 (fitted position). 
6. Now user should able to use the USB_CMSISDAP firmware in order to fix the 
code in the BlueNRG-LP. 
 
2. It is not possible to connect to the STEVAL-IDB011V1, BlueNRG-LP device with the 
on board CMSIS-DAP debugger/programmer. 
 a. The BlueNRG-LP could be under reset, or the SWD pins have been configured in 
a different mode at the startup of the application, or the application sets the device 
in DEEPSTOP modes which powers off the debug port. 
In such cases, it is possible to recover the BlueNRG-LP status as follow: 
 
1. Plug the USB cable in order to power up the board. 
2. Press and hold the PUSH1 button. 
3. Press the RESET button. 
4. This operation activates the internal UART bootloader: now it is possible to 
connect the CMSIS-DAP debugger/programmer to the BlueNRG-LP. 
 NOTES: 
1. Please refer to the STSW-BNRGLP-DK, C:{Installation_Path}\ 
ST\BlueNRG-LP DK x.x.x\Docs\BlueNRG-
LP_Debugging_Guidelines\BlueNRG-LP_Debugging_Guidelines.html 
document for useful guidelines to be followed in these scenarios: 
 
•CMSIS-DAP programming vs BlueNRG-LP running application in low 
power modes 
•Debugging vs BlueNRG-LP running application in low power modes.
