Getting started with the X-NUCLEO-S2915A1 Sub-1 GHz 915 MHz RF expansion

Introduction

The X-NUCLEO-S2915A1 expansion board is based on the S2-LP radio and operates in the 915 MHz ISM frequency band. The expansion board is compatible with ST morpho and Arduino UNO R3 connectors. The X-NUCLEO-S2915A1 interfaces with the STM32 Nucleo microcontroller via SPI connections and GPIO pins. Y
change some of the GPIOs by mounting or removing the resistors.

Hardware and software requirements
To use STM32 Nucleo development boards with the X-NUCLEO-S2915A1 as shown below.
Figure 2. X-NUCLEO-S2915A1 expansion board connected to an STM32 Nucleo development board
expansion board, connect the boards
The interconnection between the STM32 Nucleo and the X-NUCLEO-S2915A1 has been designed to allow using any STM32 Nucleo board, although complete testing has been performed using NUCLEO-L053R8, NUCLEO-
F401RE and NUCLEO-L152RE boards hosting the ultra-low power STM32.
The following software and hardware specifications are required:
a PC/laptop with Microsoft Windows (7 and above) to install the software package (X-CUBE-SUBG1)
a type A USB to mini-B USB cable to connect the STM32 Nucleo board to the PC/laptop
128 MB of RAM
Approximately 40 MB of hard disk space for the firmware
Approximately 15 MB of hard disk space for the wM-Bus GUI
The use of the wM-Bus concentrator with the GUI requires additional boards to be connected to the PC. The GUI can be used to check the wM-Bus communication protocol.

2.4 Board setup

Step 1. Check that the jumper on JP1 connector is connected to provide the required voltage to the board
devices.
Step 2. Connect the X-NUCLEO-S2915A1 to the STM32 Nucleo
Step 3. Power the Nucleo development board using the Mini-B USB cable.
Step 4. Program the firmware in the STM32 on the Nucleo development board using the firmware sample
provided.
Step 5. Reset the MCU board using the reset button on the Nucleo development board.
The evaluation kit is ready-to-use.
