X-NUCLEO-GNSS1A1 Hardware Description

• The X-NUCLEO-GNSS1A1 expansion board is based on the Teseo-LIV3F tiny GNSS

module.

• It represents an affordable, easy-to-use, global navigation satellite system (GNSS) module,

embedding a Teseo III single die standalone positioning receiver IC, usable in different
configurations in your STM32 Nucleo project.

• The Teseo-LIV3F is a compact (9.7x10.1 mm) module that provides superior accuracy

thanks to the on-board 26 MHz temperature compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) and a
reduced time-to-first fix (TTFF) with its dedicated 32 KHz real-time clock (RTC) oscillator.

• The Teseo-LIV3F module runs complete GNSS firmware (X-CUBE-GNSS1) to perform all

GNSS operations including acquisition, tracking, navigation and data output without
external memory support.

• The X-NUCLEO-GNSS1A1 expansion board is compatible with the Arduino™ UNO R3

connector and the ST morpho connector, so it can be plugged to the STM32 Nucleo
development board and stacked with additional STM32 Nucleo expansion boards.

FP-ATR-LTE1 Software Description

FP-ATR-LTE1 is a STM32Cube Function Pack. That lets you connect your IoT
node to Amazon Web Services using LTE cellular connectivity and expose the
GNSS and MEMS sensors data using standard application layer protocols.

It fully supports security and protocol requirements to interface with AWS cloud
thanks to the integrated Amazon AWS IoT SDK.

The DSH-ASSETRACKING dashboard for asset tracking is available to quickly
evaluate the firmware package functions for an easy sensor data visualization.

Key features

• Complete firmware to connect a node with GNSS and MEMS sensors to a
cellular network using LTE communication technology

• Middleware library with FreeRTOS, mbedTLS and Amazon Web Services

SDK.

• Software interface to access GNSS sensor (Teseo-LIV3F), temperature and
humidity sensor (HTS221), pressure sensor (LPS22H) and motion sensor
(LSM6DSO)

• Example implementation available for X-NUCLEO-GNSS1A1 and X­NUCLEO-IKS01A3 s when connected to a P-L496G-CELL02 LTE cellular to
cloud pack.

• Easy portability across different MCU families, thanks to STM32Cube

• Free, user-friendly license terms
