First Step with Nucleo F401RE

Good evening, I've never used ST boards but I need to for a project in evaluating security with ble devices. What I had in mind was to use the Nucleo F401RE with a X-Nucleo-IDB04a1 Bluetooth Low Energy module (It's what was provided in the lab).

However, I cannot understand what I have to do in order to use it on Linux and to make it function. I tried using the quick guide but cannot say it worked. I hope I made myself clear, I just want to get started, I only used Arduino and Fishino boards at a beginner level. Thank you in advance for your assistance, Regards

Hi Chiara,

Have you ever used Mbed OS before? If not, I would suggest following the quickstart tutorial we have in order to get your environment up and running in your Linux terminal: https://os.mbed.com/docs/v5.9/tutorials/quick-start-offline.html#linux - please let me know if you encounter issues when following this guide!

Then, since you are looking to use the X-Nucleo-IDB04a1 module I would recommend using the mbed-os-example-BLE repository examples to get started using the BLE APIs within Mbed OS for your board/module.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

I'm not sure what went wrong, but working with this board I realized sometimes things work and sometimes they don't, so I probably just had to try more and more. Thank you for your answer however, I found many useful tutorials and examples.
