Getting started with the STM32 Nucleo pack for USB Type-C™ and
Power Delivery with the Nucleo-F072RB board and the STUSB1602
Introduction
The USB Type-C™ and Power Delivery Nucleo pack P-NUCLEO-USB002 includes:
the NUCLEO-F072RB board
the P-NUCLEO-USB002 expansion board based on the certified STUSB1602 USB Type-C port
controller with PD PHY and BMC driver
a full-featured Type-C cable
These components, together with the X-CUBE-USB-PD certified STM32F0 USB Type-C PD middleware
stack, form a platform for demonstrating USB Type-C and USB Power Delivery (USB PD) capabilities
and facilitating solution development.
The new USB PD protocol expands USB functionality by providing up to 100 W power over the same
cable used for data communication. Devices supporting the protocol are able to negotiate voltage and
current over the USB power pins and define their roles as Provider or Consumer accordingly.
Once the platform is configured, the embedded demonstration firmware can signal cable status
(attached or detached) and orientation information, as well as the role of each of the two ports.

1.5 Running demos without a PC
This section describes demo operation in standalone mode, without the support of a PC to
control the implemented functions
1.5.1 Standalone demo
This procedure lets you change modes and observe P-NUCLEO-USB002 LED feedback
signals with the basic setup.
1
Stack the boards, set the jumpers and power the NUCLEO-F072RB board via PC
USB connection as per the basic configuration requirements.
Blue LEDs D100 and D103 for PORT_0 and PORT_1 signal their initial
configuration:
three blinks - port is a dual role port (DRP).

2
Connect the two Type-C receptacles on the expansion board using the USB TypeC cables provided
Blue LEDs D100 and D103 for PORT_0 and PORT_1 signal the current role of the
port:
one blink - port is a provider
two blinks - port is a consumer
3
Change the orientation of the cables.
Orange LEDs D102 and D105 for PORT_0 and PORT_1 signal the CC line used:
one blink - CC1
two blinks - CC2
4
Wait until an explicit contract is established.
Green LEDs D101 and D104 for PORT_0 and PORT_1 signal:
LED on - the port has defined an explicit contract with the port partner
LED blinking - the port, as provider or consumer, is supplying or is
sinking power, respectively
LED off - no power is being provided or sunk on the port
1.5.2 Standalone demo with external hardware connected
This procedure lets you change modes and observe P-NUCLEO-USB002 LED feedback
signals with an external port partner.
In the Provider and DRP roles, the exposed power profiles are dummies.
1
Stack the boards, set the jumpers and power the NUCLEO-F072RB board via PC
USB connection as per the basic configuration requirements.
Blue LEDs D100 and D103 for PORT_0 and PORT_1 signal their initial
configuration:
three blinks - port is a dual role port (DRP).
2
Connect P-NUCLEO-USB002 CN2 to NUCLEO-F072RB CN3 with the female
wires included in the package.
Connections:
CN2_1 to CN3_TX
CN2_2 to CN3_RX
3

DocID030539 Rev 1
4
Connect the other plug of the USB Type-C cable to an external port partner.
Blue LEDs D100 and D103 for PORT_0 and PORT_1 signal the current role of the
port:
one blink - port is a provider
two blinks - port is a consumer
Orange LEDs D102 and D105 for PORT_0 and PORT_1 signal the CC line used:
one blink - CC1
two blinks - CC2
Green LEDs D101 and D104 for PORT_0 and PORT_1 signal:
LED on - the port has defined an explicit contract with the port partner
LED blinking - the port, as provider or consumer, is supplying or is
sinking power, respectively
LED off - no power is being provided or sunk on the port
5
Use the command line interface to interact with the application.
1.6 Running demos with a PC
The following demonstration applications require a PC for serial communication through the
"Command Line Interface" (CLI), which lets you access power delivery application data and
send commands.
Ensure that P-NUCLEO-USB002 expansion board CN2 is connected to NUCLEO-F072RB
CN3 using the female wires included in the package:
CN2_1 to CN3_TX
CN2_2 to CN3_RX

standard serial terminal program.
Configuration:
Baudrate: 115200
Data bit: 8
Parity: none
Stop bit: 1
Hardware Flow Control: None
2
Use the CLI to access port status and profile information.
When the port is a consumer, you can command it to request a different profile, if
available.
A "welcome message" is shown in the terminal on board startup or reset (reset button
on NUCLEO-F072RB board).
