STEVAL-IDB003V1 evaluation board

quick start guide

Introduction

The STEVAL-IDB003V1 is an evaluation board based on BlueNRG, a low power Bluetooth

Smart IC that is compliant with the Bluetooth

v4.0 specification and supports both master

and slave roles.

The STEVAL-IDB003V1 platform features an on-board STM32L low power microcontroller.

It can be used to explore the BlueNRG features and as a development platform for

Bluetooth

Smart applications running on the STM32L microcontroller and interfacing to the

BlueNRG network coprocessor.

UM1789 Getting started

1 Getting started

The STEVAL-IDB003V1 evaluation board is preprogrammed with a software

(BlueNRG_VOM_x_x.hex) allowing users to run the BlueNRG PC GUI (graphical user

interface), which can be used to interact and evaluate the capabilities of the BlueNRG

network processor.

To configure the STEVAL-IDB003V1 platform and run the preprogrammed software and

associated BlueNRG GUI, follow the instructions below.

1.1 Install BlueNRG DK SW package

•Before using the STEVAL-IDB003V1 platform, download the latestBlueNRG DK software

package available on the STEVAL-IDB003V1 web page (Table 1, STEVAL-IDB003V1

platform)

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

path is C:\Program Files (x86)\STMicroelectronics\BlueNRG DK x.x.x)

•Wait for the package installation to complete.The following folder will be available on the

selected installation path.

Figure 2. BlueNRG DK SW package structure and content

The software package installation procedure will also automatically install the following PC

software drivers available in the PCDriver folder:

•USB DFU PC driver required for supporting device firmware upgrade (DFU) through USB

•USB Virtual COM Port driver required for supporting the USB Virtual COM I/O

communication channels.

1.2 Insert the STEVAL-IDB003V1 board

•Plug the STEVAL-IDB003V1 into a PC USB port: Windows’ new hardware wizard will

appear.

•Wait for the device recognition process to complete: in Computer, Manage, Device

Manager, Ports (COM & LPT area), a new STMicroelectronics Virtual COM Port will

appear.

1.3 Open the BlueNRG GUI

The BlueNRG GUI is available in the BlueNRG DK software package, Application folder

(Figure 2: BlueNRG DK SW package structure and content):

•Launch the BLUENRG_GUI.exe file

•Select the COMxx port associated to the STEVAL-IDB003V1 platform

•Click on Open tab: the BlueNRG GUI is now ready to use

Figure 4. BlueNRG GUI

The BlueNRG GUI utility can send standard and vendor-specific HCI commands to the

BlueNRG network coprocessor and receive events from it. It allows the user to configure

each field of the HCI command packets to be sent and analyze all received packets.

Note: For more information on the BlueNRG GUI capabilities and available utilities, refer to

Table 1 (UM1686 user manual).

2 SW demonstration applications

In order to develop a software application for the STEVAL-IDB003V1 platform, it is

recommend to start with the reference demonstration applications provided within the

BlueNRG DK software package, in the Projects folder (Figure 2). The IAR Embedded

Workbench for ARM (EWARM) tool V6.60 is needed to build software applications running

on the STM32L microcontroller.

Pre-built STM32L microcontroller binary images for the reference demonstrations are

already available in the BlueNRG DK software package, in the Firmware folder (Figure 2).

To download an STM32L binary image, apply the following DFU procedure:

•Open the BlueNRG GUI

•Press and hold the STEVAL-IDB003V1 platform SW1 button

•Plug the STEVAL-IDB003V1 board into a PC USB port

– The orange LED D3 will start to blink: STM32L device is in DFU mode, allowing it

to upgrade its Flash image through USB interface.

•From the BlueNRG GUI, select Tools, Flash Motherboard FW and follow the indications

to select the new binary application image to be downloaded into the STM32L Flash.

•Wait for the DFU download process to complete.

Figure 5. BlueNRG GUI DFU procedure

Note: For a description of the available BlueNRG demonstration applications and supported

platforms, refer to Table 1 (UM1686 user manual).

The BlueNRG_COM_x.x.hex binary is also provided within the BlueNRG DK software

package, in the Firmware folder (Figure 2: BlueNRG DK SW package structure and

content). The user can reload it through the previously described DFU procedure.
