STM32CubeMonitor-RF 802.15.4 RF test mode

[dimax]

Hello.

I have a STM32 Nucleo board and a USB dongle. What Stack and FW should be programmed to use STM32CubeMonitor-RF 802.15.4 RF test mode described in chapter 5 of the UM2288?

Thanks.

Hello.

Is there any other place I should/can ask this question?

I really need to get an answer ASAP to go on with a module evaluation. It seams to be a very basic question considering that there is a whole chapter in STM32CubeMonitor-RF user manual related to 802.15.4 test mode. Somehow they did it?

Thanks.

Hello @dimax​ 

The information about the connection and the firmware to use are grouped in the chapter 2.2 :

On Nucleo board :

For 802.15.4 RF tests, the Phy_802_15_4_Cli source is available in the STM32CubeWB Firmware Package (Refer to the folder

\Projects\P-NUCLEO-WB55.Nucleo\Applications\Phy_802_15_4\Phy_802_15_4_Cli).

The wireless stack firmware stm32wb5x_Phy_802_15_4_fw.bin is available in \Projects\STM32WB_Copro_Wireless_Binaries

For USB dongle :

It is more tricky as there is no ST-LINK on the dongle and no VCP firmware (see chapter 2.2.2). So you need to connect with a serial cable (usb to 3.3v serial) :

• Use the same binary as the Nucleo
• Move solder bridge SB2 to SB6 (connection of PB7 to CN2.7).
• Connect the serial cable to PB7 (PC Tx) and PB6 (PC Rx) (PB7 is CN2.7 and PB6 on CN2.6).
