Low Energy and 802.15.4 Nucleo pack
based on STM32WB Series microcontrollers
Introduction
The Nucleo pack (P-NUCLEO-WB55) with a Nucleo-68 board and a USB dongle provides
an affordable and flexible way for users to try out new concepts and build prototypes using
STM32WB microcontrollers with a 2.4 GHz radio interface.
This circuit block provides various combinations of performance, power consumption and
features. A 2.4 GHz RF transceiver supporting Bluetooth
®
specification v5.0 and IEEE
802.15.4-2011 PHY and MAC is supported.
Arduino™ Uno V3 connectivity and ST morpho headers allow the user to easily expand the
functionality of the Nucleo open development platform with a wide choice of specialized
shields.
The boards are based on a multiprotocol wireless 32-bit microcontroller, based on an Arm
®
Cortex
®
-M4 with FPU, featuring Bluetooth
®
Low Energy and 802.15.4 radio solution.
The STM32 Nucleo-68 board does not require any separate probe, as it integrates the
ST-LINK/V2-1 debugger/programmer. The board comes with the comprehensive free
STM32 software libraries and examples available with the STM32Cube package.
The USB dongle can be programmed through USB BootLoad or USB DFU. It is also
possible to debug/program it with an external STLink V2 (not delivered), using the SWD
interface.
