I was trying to use the xcube_TOF application inside the st32cubemx for the stm32h7 nucleo board. However, the tof initialisation is keep getting failed. 
Is it really possible to implement a i2c connection between x_nucleo_53l8a1 and the stm32H7 nucleo board? 
I tried to implement the hardware connections just like in the stm32nucleof401re.
Could anyone please help me with this?

Hi ​@karthii 

You should refer to the user manual Getting started with the X-NUCLEO-53L8A1 Time-of-Flight expansion board based on the VL53L8 series for STM32 Nucleo - User manual

  • I2C integration is possible on the X-NUCLEO-53L8A1 with STM32H7 Nucleo at hardware level
  • The board must be stacked on a Nucleo with Arduino R3 connectors
  • Set J9 to I2C mode : pins 2–3 connected
  • The examples are designed for NUCLEO-F401RE only, so on STM32H7 you need to integrate and adapt the project manually
