MEMS Studio: NUCLEO-F401RE + X-NUCLEO-IKS5A1 "board not identified"

[MCA_Dev]

Hello, I would like to use a magnetometer to develop a small system that can discern the presence of a certain object with a magnet mounted on top of it. For this reason I got a X-NUCLEO-IKS5A1 as a starting point.

From my understanding the faster approach was to connect the NUCLEO board NUCLEO-F401RE (which I already had) to the aforementioned X-NUCLEO board with the software MEMS-Studio.

So I followed the procedure explained here:
 

 

and applied it to the “new” X-NUCLEO -IKS5A1 board (instead of the IKS4A1 described in the video).

I’ve successfully programmed the board with the supplied firmware (STMicroelectronics/MEMS Studio/firmware/mems-studio/x-nucleo-iks5a1/nucleo-f401re/DataLogExtended.bin, Interface MASS STORAGE, Device_ NODE_F401RE).

But when I try to connect the board it says:

And I cannot go further with the procedure.

Is there something wrong with my procedure? Any idea of the issue?

If not, how can I start using this board? Starting from an STM32CubeMX project?

Thank you for your support,

Regards,

M.

Hi ​@MCA_Dev ,

It seems that the issue may be related to the connection/interface selection rather than the programming step itself.

Please try the following:

1. Program the board using the ST-LINK interface

2. Check the correct COM por

3. Reconnect and power-cycle

   • After flashing, unplug/replug the board and restart MEMS Studio if needed.
