Software package for VL53L9

[alextoussaint]

Hi,

I've got an X-NUCLEO-53L9A1. The board is in volume production and the product page advertises "full system software supplied, including code examples and graphical user interface", but the only downloads on that page are hardware files (Gerber, BOM, schematic). There's no driver, no example code, no GUI, no user manual. I've searched the product page, this forum, and GitHub and found nothing.

On the host side: I have a NUCLEO-N6 (N657X0), and I see UM3655 is written around the STEVAL-VL53L9 on the N657X0 — so that looks like the intended dev path. But the GUI was demoed on a NUCLEO-H563ZI. I can buy a H563ZI if that's what's actually required, but I'd rather not guess.

So, plainly:
- Does the 53L9A1 software package (driver + code examples) exist for download yet, and where?
- Is the GUI available, and which host does it need — H563ZI, or does it run on my N6?
- If any of this isn't public yet, what's the route to get it, and when does it land on the product page?

I just want to get the sensor ranging on hardware I have (or buy the right board once, not the wrong one). A direct link or a clear next step would be appreciated. Thanks very much!

 

Best regards,

Alex

Hi:

Thank you for your interest in this exciting and powerful sensor.

We have checked internally, and the related preparation work is still ongoing. The corresponding materials, including the datasheet, application note, user manual, driver, GUI, and other detailed information, are planned to be published on www.st.com.

At present, the datasheet and AN file have been released (VL53L9CX | Product - STMicroelectronics), the remaining ones should be available soon. Please kindly wait a few more days.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Best regards,
Bin FAN
