OK for the idea, a small rework to do on the board in this case.

1- i need to disable the pin 13 mangement in the application (BSP_LED) in stm32f746g_discovery.c file in the demonstration project of the board.

what is the default state of the pins if not initialize, please ?

2- Create a new configuration for the spi2 (using for example stm32 cube) with d13,d12,d11 clk, mosi, miso pins.

the base of the configuration that can be found on the projet in the stm32f4x_nucleo.c file

And add a new entry in the stm32_blue_nrg_ble.h file and complete stm32f746g_discovery file.

i didn't find the ico extension file  wih the démonstrations to modify the configuration.

Is there a possibility to reverse the ioc file ?

3- create a new entry in the stm32bluenrg_ble.h adding support for this board.

i hope that i'll not lost functionnality about pin affected to spi2 : the goal is to keep all current demo and add ble scanner for example.

Your advice ?

Hi Christophe,

from which source project did you start for the DISCO-F746NG board? Is it the demo code included in the STM32CubeF7 package? That would help me understand what is the best course of action in your case. Which IDE are you using for building?

What kind of project are you working on? Are you planning to build a product out of it or is it for demo purposes?

As for the .ioc configuration file, it is not available yet for the BLE examples included in the X-CUBE-BLE1 software expansion package, but I'll build one for you as soon as possible. Meanwhile, besides creating an entry for your Discovery board in the stm32_bluenrg_ble.h file, you should also create a new file in the BSP directory for the Discovery. As a starting point you could use the

Drivers\BSP\STM32F4xx-Nucleo\stm32f4xx_nucleo_bluenrg.h file that is configured for NUCLEO-F401RE.

Best regards,

Antonio

Hi Antonio,

i found a case

http://www.iwasz.pl/uncategorized/bluenrg-stm32f7-disco-tests/

 where is a first configuration.

i propose you in a first step to realize the configuration of the spi 2 (with screenshot) and synchronize with you.

it's a good challenge to learn and i think usefull to your package so follow me ;->>

i'll begin with the pin configuration.

well ... using stm32cubemx we obtain :

and the device configuration (limited spedd to ensure to have a compatible speed):

we obtain spi initialisation

hspi2.Init.Mode = SPI_MODE_MASTER;

hspi2.Init.Direction = SPI_DIRECTION_2LINES;

hspi2.Init.DataSize = SPI_DATASIZE_8BIT;

hspi2.Init.CLKPolarity = SPI_POLARITY_LOW;

hspi2.Init.CLKPhase = SPI_PHASE_1EDGE;

hspi2.Init.NSS = SPI_NSS_SOFT;

hspi2.Init.BaudRatePrescaler = SPI_BAUDRATEPRESCALER_128;

hspi2.Init.FirstBit = SPI_FIRSTBIT_MSB;

hspi2.Init.TIMode = SPI_TIMODE_DISABLE;

hspi2.Init.CRCCalculation = SPI_CRCCALCULATION_DISABLE;

hspi2.Init.CRCPolynomial = 7;

hspi2.Init.CRCLength = SPI_CRC_LENGTH_DATASIZE;

hspi2.Init.NSSPMode = SPI_NSS_PULSE_ENABLE;

 and spi pin setup :

and pins configurations:

GPIO_InitStruct.Pin = ARDUINO_SCK_D13_Pin;

GPIO_InitStruct.Mode = GPIO_MODE_AF_PP;

GPIO_InitStruct.Pull = GPIO_PULLDOWN;

GPIO_InitStruct.Speed = GPIO_SPEED_FREQ_HIGH;

GPIO_InitStruct.Alternate = GPIO_AF5_SPI2;

HAL_GPIO_Init(ARDUINO_SCK_D13_GPIO_Port, &GPIO_InitStruct);

GPIO_InitStruct.Pin = ARDUINO_MISO_D12_Pin|ARDUINO_MOSI_PWM_D11_Pin;

GPIO_InitStruct.Mode = GPIO_MODE_AF_PP;

GPIO_InitStruct.Pull = GPIO_NOPULL;

GPIO_InitStruct.Speed = GPIO_SPEED_FREQ_HIGH;

GPIO_InitStruct.Alternate = GPIO_AF5_SPI2;

HAL_GPIO_Init(GPIOB, &GPIO_InitStruct);
