Hi,

In our product prototype we are using SPBTLE-RF BLE Module (BlueNRG-MS) for BLE connectivity. Due to space constrains in our product we are not using the EEPROM chip as given in the evaluation board

X-NUCLEO-IDB05A1

of SPBTLE-RF. -> Is it possible to use SPBTLE-RF module as standalone (Directly connected to SPI port of microcontroller) with our using EEPROM? -> Did anybody have example codes for SPBTLE-RF BLE Module (Note for

X-NUCLEO-IDB05A1

)? Best Regards Salman Khaja #bluenrg-ms-x-nucleo-idb05a1 #spbtle-rf #bluenrg-ms #ble

Dear Salman Khaja,

Yes, it is possible to use SPBTLE-RF module as standalone excluding the EEPROM. The X-CUBE-BLE1 package is not depending on the EEPROM.

If you want to use the same pinout you don't need to change anything. Otherwise, the configuration files to be updated are stm32l0xx_nucleo_bluenrg.h or stm32l0xx_nucleo_bluenrg_dma_lp.h (without or with DMA, respectively), assuming that you are using the STM32 L0 family. For other STM32 families, search for the corresponding filenames (e.g. stm32l4xx_nucleo_bluenrg.h for STM32 L4, etc.)

Kind regards,

Andrea

Thanks for your valuable reply Andrea.

So, is there any need for using pull-up resistors on Reset and Chip Select pins of SPBTLE-RF?
