X-NUCLEO-IDB05A2 Hardware Description
• The X-NUCLEO-IDB05A2 Bluetooth low energy expansion board is
based on the BlueNRG-M0 BLE network processor module.
• The BlueNRG-M0 is Bluetooth v4.2 compliant. It supports simultaneous
master/slave roles and can behave as a Bluetooth low energy sensor
and hub device at the same time.
• The BlueNRG-M0 provides a complete RF platform in a tiny form factor,
with integrated radio, antenna, high frequency and LPO oscillators.

Key Product on board
ST25DV04KV Dynamic NFC/RFID tag IC with 4-Kbit, 16-Kbit or 64-Kbit EEPROM, and Fast
Transfer Mode capability
X-NUCLEO-NFC04A1 Hardware Description
• The X-NUCLEO-NFC04A1 dynamic NFC/RFID tag IC expansion board
is based on the ST25DV04K NFC Type V/RFID tag IC with a dual
interface 4 Kbits EEPROM that also features an I²C interface. It can be
powered by the pin of Arduino connector or directly by the received
carrier electromagnetic field.
• The X-NUCLEO-NFC04A1 expansion board is compatible with the
Arduino™ UNO R3 connector pin assignment and can easily be plugged
onto any STM32 Nucleo board. Various expansion boards can also be
stacked to evaluate different devices operating together with the dynamic
NFC tag. The board also features an antenna with a 54 mm ISO 24.2
diameter, single layer, copper etched on PCB.

Software Description
• The FP-SNS-FLIGHT1 is an STM32Cube function pack which let your IoT node connect to a
smartphone via BLE and uses a suitable Android™ or iOS™ application like the STBLESensor app
to view real-time environmental time-of-flight sensor data.
• It uses the NDEF standard for simple and secure Bluetooth pairing, storing the necessary
information on the NFC tag, thus simplifying the device configuration.
• This package, together with the suggested combination of the STM32 and ST devices, can be
used to develop wearable applications, or smart things applications in general.
Key features
• Complete firmware to develop an IoT node with NFC, BLE connectivity and time-of-flight sensors
• Sample implementation available for X-NUCLEO-NFC04A1 (optional), X-NUCLEO-53L1A2 and X-
NUCLEO-IDB05A2 connected to a NUCLEO-F401RE or NUCLEO-L476RG
• Compatible with STBLESensor application for Android/iOS, to perform sensors data reading, audio
and motion algorithms features demo, and firmware update (FOTA).
• Easy portability across different MCU families, thanks to STM32Cube.
• Free, user-friendly
Important Software Additional Information
• The 53L1A2 BSP has been treated as an exception in this package since its version is not
compatible with the other BSPs used in this firmware .A patch (53L1A2_Patch.c), located in userspace (\Applications\FLIGHT1\Patch), replaces the original BSP file which has been disabled,
allowing the whole software structure to work flawlessly license terms.
