BlueNRG shield for STM32 Nucleo

Sun, 08 Mar 2015 15:32:51 +0000

I recently received during a ST training day a sample of the X-NUCLEO-IDB04A1 shield. This shield is based on the BlueNRG network processor from ST and it allows to create Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) applications using an Arduino compatible developing board. Obviously, ST designed the software for this shield to be used mainly with its Nucleo range of developing boards. In fact, all necessary libraries and examples needed to use this shield are designed to run on Nucleo-L0 and Nucleo-F4 boards using their respective HAL. However, ST still doesn’t provide official support to free GCC/Eclipse toolchains (an this is a pity…), and it’s a little bit tricky to use ST demo files and BlueNRG HAL without using a commercial IDE supported by ST (IAR, TrueSTUDIO, etc).
