Nucleo-L073RZ + I-nucleo-lrwan1 sg-sm-42 to work as an end node

[ELeit.3]

Hi in 2020 I bought P-NUCLEO-LRWAN2 and now I started programming. In none of the examples provided in the expansion pack, I can't get Nucleo-L073RZ + I-nucleo-lrwan1 sg-sm-42 to work as an end node. Any solution?

​Hello,   If I well understood you problem you do not find the right project to run on a Nucleo-L073RZ.

The last expansion package published in 2021 (V2.1) on st.com provides the AT_Master project.

You need to give full details of what, exactly, you've done and what, exactly, is "not working", and what debugging you've done to find the problem.

As @JCOUP​ says, you need the AT_Master project from the I-Cube-LRWAN package:

https://www.st.com/content/st_com/en/products/embedded-software/mcu-mpu-embedded-software/stm32-embedded-software/stm32cube-expansion-packages/i-cube-lrwan.html

v2.1.0 is the latest version.

In this example, the USI module on the I-NUCLEO-LRWAN1 board is programmed as an AT-Command modem, and the STM32 on the NUCLEO-L073RZ board is acting as the "Host" (or "Master") for that modem - that's why you need the "AT-Master" loaded on the Nucleo.

Note also that the serial connection to the ST-Link virtual COM port on the Nucleo base board is disconnected - because that is used for the AT Command connection to the modem.

There's been a thread on this before, but the search here is dire. :pouting_face:

Found it at last in this thread:

This stupid forum doesn't allow me to link to the specific post in the thread:

And, eventually, how to get comms directly to the USI module:

https://community.st.com/s/question/0D53W00000DHlVaSAL/i-want-to-get-pnucleolrwan2-gateway-source

Or just connect a USB-to-UART directly to the USI board...

Hi @Andrew Neil​ and @JCOUP​ ! Thanks for reply! I try the solutions above but only show in Teraterm Otaa

DeviceEUI and others all blank.I try with V2.1.0

I give up and tried to use I-NUCLEO-LRWAN standalone with tutorial found on

https://github.com/USIWP1Module/USI_I-NUCLEO-LRWAN1/tree/master/I-CUBE-LRWAN_patchs/I-CUBE-LRWAN%201.2.2

Its works! With package V1.2.2, but when enable the sensors and only temperature and humidity, there was FLASH overflowed 9680 bytes :(

The size optimization is enable and debug disable. Any susgestions? I noticed

the package v2.1.0 dos not have the solution. of this board.

The USI board was generally panned several years ago, the LRWAN-DISCO using the Murata module was much better received having a newer SX1276 radio, and a larger 192KB FLASH L072 part, and a more open software stack. Many of us, including the FAE's, just reprogrammed the USI parts, having patched the LRWAN code ourselves. The patching mainly relates to the pining of the SX1272, and the RF side RX/TX switching gate. If v2.1.0 is too bulky to fit, you might need to make alternate choices.

For Cortex-M0(+) parts there is the free version of Keil, which can likely build the firmware much more tightly, including link-time-optimization (LTO)
