Getting started with X-NUCLEO-IDB05A2 BLE expansion board based on the

BlueNRG-M0 module for STM32 Nucleo

Introduction

The X-NUCLEO-IDB05A2

The BlueNRG-M0 is Bluetooth v4.2 compliant, FCC and IC certified (FCC ID: S9NBNRGM0AL; IC: 8976C-BNRGM0AL). 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.

The X-NUCLEO-IDB05A2 is compatible with the ST morpho (not mounted) and Arduino UNO R3 connector layout.

The X-NUCLEO-IDB05A2 interfaces with the STM32 microcontroller via the SPI pin and allows changing the default SPI clock,
SPI chip select and SPI IRQ by replacing a resistor on the expansion board.

Bluetooth low energy expansion board is based on the BlueNRG-M0 BLE network processor module.

Getting started

1.2 Hardware requirements

The X-NUCLEO-IDB05A2 expansion board can be plugged onto any STM32 Nucleo, although complete testing
has only been performed using the NUCLEO-L053R8 and NUCLEO-F401RE development boards. T
correctly, the X-NUCLEO-IDB05A2 must be connected to the STM32 Nucleo board as shown below.

1.3 System requirements

To use the STM32 Nucleo development boards with the X-NUCLEO-IDB05A2 expansion board, you need:

a Windows PC/laptop (Windows 10 or above) to install the firmware package (X-CUBE-BLE1)

•

• 128 MB of RAM

• 40 MB of hard disk free space

• a type A to Mini-B USB cable to connect the STM32 Nucleo board to the PC

• an STM32 Nucleo development board (NUCLEO-F401RE or NUCLEO-L053R8)

• an X-NUCLEO-IDB05A2 expansion board

1.4 Board setup

UM2700

System requirements

Step 1. Connect the jumper on J1 connector

Step 2. Connect the X-NUCLEO-IDB05A2 expansion board to the STM32 Nucleo development board as

shown in Figure 2.

Step 3. Power the STM32 Nucleo board via the Mini-B USB cable.

Step 4. Program the firmware in the STM32 MCU using the firmware example provided.

Step 5. Reset the board MCU using the reset button available on the STM32 Nucleo board.

The evaluation stack is ready to be used.

2.3 Current measurements

To monitor the power consumption of the X-NUCLEO-IDB05A2 board, insert an ammeter probe between pins 1
and 2 of the jumper on the J1 connector

Since the power consumption of BlueNRG-MS is very low during most of its operating time, an accurate
instrument in the range of a few μA may be required.
