X-NUCLEO-53L8A1 with NUCLEO-F401RE on Ubuntu

Hello everyone,

I am very new to the STM ecosystem and don’t know much about it. I am using an Ubuntu PC and trying to work with the X-NUCLEO-53L8A1 expansion board and NUCLEO-F401RE.

There is a software package available for VL53L8CX to detect the presence of someone: "https://www.st.com/en/embedded-software/stsw-img042.html". I downloaded it along with the Linaro GCC toolchain from Linaro Releases. After running the Makefile and trying to start the application, I encountered the following error: "./spdkit: 1: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string".  At first, I thought this was a command-line issue, but I suspect something else is wrong. Since the X-NUCLEO-53L8A1 communicates via I2C, I checked for available devices with: "sudo i2cdetect -y1".

However, no I2C devices were detected. I also noticed that my NUCLEO board is recognized in ST-Link mode, which might be preventing proper I2C communication(i am not sure !)

I’m a bit lost and not sure where to start troubleshooting. Most tutorials I found are for Windows.

Has anyone worked with this setup before? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
