3.2 Hardware and software requirements
To use STM32 Nucleo development boards with the X-NUCLEO-BNRG2A1 expansion board, connect the boards
as shown below
.

The X-NUCLEO-BNRG2A1 can be connected to any STM32 Nucleo
development board.
The following software and hardware specifications are required:
• a PC/laptop with Microsoft Windows (7 and above) to install the software package (X-CUBE-BLE2).
• DTM project to be flashed in the module
• a type A USB to mini-B USB cable to connect the STM32 Nucleo to the PC/laptop
• a 5-pin connector programming wire to program the X-NUCLEO-BNRG2A1 using the STM32 Nucleo
3.3 Board setup
Step 1. Check that the jumper on J10 connector is connected to provide the required voltage to the board
devices.
Step 2. Connect the X-NUCLEO-BNRG2A1 to the STM32 Nucleo board as shown in Figure 2.
Step 3. Connect jumper J14 to select the SPI clock for the SPI.
Step 4. Program the STM32 Nucleo
with the corresponding firmware to use the X-NUCLEO-BNRG2A1 as a
network coprocessor.
The evaluation kit is ready-to-use.
