Contiki6LP Software Description

Contiki6LP is a library implemented as a STM32Cube
middleware ready to be integrated in projects based on
STM32Cube and X-CUBE-SUBG1 expansion software. The
expansion software is built on STM32Cube software
technology for portability across different STM32
microcontrollers. The software includes examples for sending
messages via UDP over 6LoWPAN, using the SPIRIT1/S2-LP
sub-1GHz radio transceiver.

Key features

• Middleware library with Contiki OS and Contiki

6LoWPAN protocol stack 3.x

• Support for mesh networking technology by the means
of the standard RPL protocol

• Built-in support for STM32 L1 and F4 platforms

• Example applications including UPD sender and

receiver, and border router

• Examples available for NUCLEO-F401RE and

NUCLEO-L152RE

• Easy portability across different MCU families, thanks to
STM32Cube

• Free, user-friendly license terms

commands in pipe “|” one with the next one)

• (or gcc –o serialdump-linux serialdump.c)

• mv serialdump-linux ..

2. Run the following command chain (it is ONE line of three

commands in pipe “|” one with the next one)

NOTES:

 Mind the trailing dash (-), it is mandatory, not a typo!
 The ttySz / ttyACMx numbers depends on the device enumeration of the Nucleo board running the Serial-sniffer firmware, you can

use tab auto completion under both Linux and Cygwin

 It is mandatory to invoke the above commands from the “serial-sniffer” folder (actually, the “header.pcap” file is supposed to be in

the same folder of the “convert-to-binary” script)

 Perl is needed in order for the “convert-to-binary” script to work

• You can install it either via Cygwin setup or your Linux Package Manager

 Wireshark application is required, a recent version it is recommended in order to have state of the art protocols dissectors

• In the above commands, Wireshark is supposed to be in System’s Shell PATH, if it is not the case you must provide the full

command path or create a proper link

• Under Windows, if you need to use the full path for wireshark.exe and this contains spaces, use '' as escape char before
spaces and parenthesis

 Serial-sniffer firmware must be compiled with the same radio (channel, modulation, …) settings as the network under investigation
 Under Windows you may need to hardcode the baudrate (115200) in the serialdump.c code and recompile

Demo Overview – Low Power features

12/18/2018

27

When using NUCLEO-L152RE and X­NUCLEO-S2868A1 Low Power features are
available for both MCU and Radio.

The following settings are enabled by default
on Udp-sender and Udp-receiver applications:

• MCU System Clock is set to 4 MHz

• MCU is sent to SLEEP mode (with reduced

clock to 65 KHz) when in idle loop

• Radio uses SNIFF mode
Compared to Normal Mode, these settings
ensure the same functionalities but with almost
1/20 of the current consumption in idle.

By pressing the User Button, it is possible to
cycle through two Application Level Duty Cycle
that are implemented as a demo in the Udp­sender firmware. The idea is to demonstrate

that it is also possible to switch “off” (actually,

set to a very low consumption state) both MCU
and Radio for a given period. The node is then
waken up by a timer, sends the next message

and goes back to STOP mode.

In the “Probing” Duty Cycle, the Radio is turned

on only if there is something to send (in the
demo, this happens every two periods).

The Duty Cycle phase is reported with a
character in the message sent by the Udp­sender, and can be checked on the Udp-

receiver console.

Software components

• STM32Cube software (CUBE) - A set

of free tools and embedded software bricks
to enable fast and easy development on
the STM32, including a Hardware
Abstraction Layer and middleware bricks.

• STM32Cube expansion software

(X-CUBE) - Expansion software provided

free for use with the STM32 Nucleo
expansion board and fully compatible with
the STM32Cube software framework. It
provides abstracted access to expansion
board functionality through high-level APIs
and sample applications.

41

www.st.com/x-cube

• Compatibility with multiple Development Environments - The STM32 Open Development

Environment is compatible with a number of IDEs including IAR EWARM, Keil MDK, and GCC-based
environments. Users can choose from three IDEs from leading vendors, which are free of charge and
deployed in close cooperation with ST. These include Eclipse-based IDEs such as Ac6 System
Workbench for STM32 and the MDK-ARM environment.
