ST / stm-spirit1-rf-driver

Prototype RF driver for STM Sub-1 GHz RF expansion board based on the SPSGRF-868 module for STM32 Nucleo.

Prototype RF Driver for STM Sub-1 GHz RF Expansion Boards based on the SPSGRF-868 and SPSGRF-915 Modules for STM32 Nucleo

Currently supported boards:

Note, in order to use expansion board X-NUCLEO-IDS01A4 in mbed you need to perform the following HW modifications on the board:

  • Unmount resistor R4
  • Mount resistor R7

Furthermore, on some Nucleo development boards (e.g. the NUCLEO_F429ZI), in order to be able to use Ethernet together with these Sub-1 GHz RF expansion boards, you need to compile this driver with macro SPIRIT1_SPI_MOSI=PB_5 defined, while the development board typically requires some HW modification as e.g. described here!

This driver can be used together with the 6LoWPAN stack (a.k.a. Nanostack).

+
+Hardware Requirements
+=====================
+
+* NUCLEO-L152RE development board
+
+ >The NUCLEO-L152RE board belongs to the STM32 Nucleo family.
+It features an STM32L152RET6 ultra-low power microcontroller based on ARM Cortex M3 MCU.
+Detailed information on the NUCLEO-L152RE development board can be found at:
+http://www.st.com/web/catalog/tools/FM116/SC959/SS1532/LN1847/PF260002
+
+
+* X-NUCLEO-IDS01Ax sub-1GHz expansion board
+
+ >The X-NUCLEO-IDS01A4 and X-NUCLEO-IDS01A5 are STM32 Nucleo expansion boards that use 
+the module SPSGRF-868 or SPSGRF-915 based on SPIRIT1 low data rate, low power sub-1 GHz transceiver.
+
+ >The user can select the X-NUCLEO-IDS01A4 board to operate the SPIRIT1 transceiver at 868MHz or the X-NUCLEO-IDS01A5 board to operate the SPIRIT1 transceiver at 915MHz.
+
+ >Detailed information on the X-NUCLEO-IDS01A4 expansion board can be found at:
+http://www.st.com/web/catalog/tools/FM146/CL2167/SC2006/PF261982
+
+ >Detailed information on the X-NUCLEO-IDS01A5 expansion board can be found at:
+http://www.st.com/web/catalog/tools/FM146/CL2167/SC2006/PF261983 
+
+ >Detailed information on the SPIRIT1 sub-1GHz transceiver can be found at:
+http://www.st.com/web/catalog/sense_power/FM2185/SC1845/PF253167
+
+* X-NUCLEO-IKS01A1, motion MEMS and environmental sensors expansion board (OPTIONAL)
+
+ >The X-NUCLEO-IKS01A1 is a motion MEMS and environmental sensor evaluation board.
+The use of this board is optional in the stm32nucleo-spirit1 Contiki platform. 
+
+ >Detailed information on the X-NUCLEO-IKS01A1 expansion board can be found at:
+http://www.st.com/web/catalog/tools/FM146/CL2167/SC2006/PF261191
+
+
+* USB type A to Mini-B USB cable, to connect the STM32 Nucleo board to the PC
+
+Software Requirements
+=====================
+
+The following software are needed:
+
+* ST port of Contiki for STM32 Nucleo and expansion boards. 
+ 
+ >The port is automatically installed when both the Contiki and the submodule repository are cloned: the former hosts the Contiki distribution and the ST platform interface, the latter hosts the actual library. The following commands are needed to download the full porting: 
+
+	git clone https://github.com/STclab/contiki.git
+	cd contiki/
+	git checkout stm32nucleo-spirit1
+	git submodule init
+	git submodule update
+
+
+Note: the first and third steps are required only if using the STclab GitHub repository, they won't be needed any more once the Pull Request is accepted.
+
+The platform name is: stm32nucleo-spirit1
+
+* A toolchain to build the firmware: The port has been developed and tested with GNU Tools 
+for ARM Embedded Processors.
+ >The toolchain can be found at: https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded
+The port was developed and tested using this version: gcc-arm-none-eabi v4.8.3
+
+
+Examples
+========
+
+The following examples have been successfully tested:
+
+* examples/stm32nucleo-spirit1/sensor-demo
+* examples/ipv6/simple-udp-rpl (multicast, rpl-border-router, simple-udp-rpl)
+
+
+Build an example
+================
+In order to build an example go to the selected example directory (see a list of tested
+examples in the previous section).
+
+For example, go to examples/ipv6/simple-udp-rpl directory.
+
+	
+If the X-NUCLEO-IDS01A4 sub-1GHz RF expansion board is used, the following must be run:
+
+	make TARGET=stm32nucleo-spirit1 USE_SUBGHZ_BOARD=IDS01A4 clean
+	make TARGET=stm32nucleo-spirit1 USE_SUBGHZ_BOARD=IDS01A4
+
+If the X-NUCLEO-IDS01A5 sub-1GHz RF expansion board is used, the following must be run:
+
+	make TARGET=stm32nucleo-spirit1 USE_SUBGHZ_BOARD=IDS01A5 clean
+	make TARGET=stm32nucleo-spirit1 USE_SUBGHZ_BOARD=IDS01A5
+	
+	
+This will create executables for UDP sender and receiver nodes.
+
+In order to generate binary files that can be flashed on the STM32 Nucleo the following command must be run:
+
+	arm-none-eabi-objcopy -O binary unicast-sender.stm32nucleo-spirit1 unicast-sender.bin
+	arm-none-eabi-objcopy -O binary unicast-receiver.stm32nucleo-spirit1 unicast-receiver.bin
+
+These executables can be programmed on the nodes using the procedure described hereafter.
+
+
+In case you need to build an example that uses the additional sensors expansion board 
+(for example, considering a system made of NUCLEO-L152RE, X-NUCLEO-IDS01A4 and X-NUCLEO-IKS01A1)
+then the command to be run would be:
+
+	make TARGET=stm32nucleo-spirit1 USE_SUBGHZ_BOARD=IDS01A4 USE_SENSOR_BOARD=1
+
+System setup
+============ 
+
+1. Check that the jumper on the J1 connector on the X-NUCLEO-IDS01Ax expansion board is connected. 
+This jumper provides the required voltage to the devices on the board.
+
+2. Connect the X-NUCLEO-IDS01Ax board to the STM32 Nucleo board (NUCLEO-L152RE) from the top.
+
+3. If the optional X-NUCLEO-IKS01A1 board is used, connect it on top of the X-NUCLEO-IDS01Ax board.
+
+4. Power the STM32 Nucleo board using the Mini-B USB cable connected to the PC.
+
+5. Program the firmware on the STM32 Nucleo board. 
+This can be done by copying the binary file on the USB mass storage that is 
+automatically created when plugging the STM32 Nucleo board to the PC.
+
+6. Reset the MCU by using the reset button on the STM32 Nucleo board
