STEVAL-MKI109D programming firmware suing stm32 cubemx

[Sucheta]

In the stm32 cubeMX Board selector menu I cant find board MKI-109D.

How can I develop the board firmware?

I’m not sure that the STEVAL-MKI109D is really intended for user firmware development?

It seems to me that the main idea is to use MEMS-Studio to do that:

You can always treat it as a “custom” board, and work from the schematics:

Hi ​@Sucheta ,

The STEVAL-MKI109D is not exposed as a standard CubeMX board target for custom application firmware development. It is primarily intended as an evaluation motherboard / bridge platform for MEMS sensor daughterboards.

If your goal is to evaluate the sensor and verify the communication path, the recommended workflow is to use MEMS Studio rather than starting from a bare CubeMX board project. MEMS Studio is designed to talk to the board using the ST-provided bridge firmware and gives access to:

• sensor register read/write
• WHO_AM_I verification
• ODR / full-scale configuration
• FIFO control and data logging
• interrupt / pin configuration
• live sensor plotting and acquisition

Thanks for confirming!

​@Sucheta If you do want to go for a “bare board” project, there will be firmware examples on the Product Page(s) for the sensor(s) in question; eg, see

In particular: C-Drivers-MEMS and X-CUBE-MEMS1
