1. Introduction
This wiki page contains information to help the user to use his hardware setup.
X-CUBE-CELLULAR V6.0.0 support different types of hardware setups.
Some are based on module that contains STM32 and modem, some are based on 2 boards, one STM32 board associated to one modem board.
In case the STM32 board do not have STMod+ connector, an Arduino / STMod+ adaptor must be used. Example B-L4S5I-IOT01A.
Also note in case of STM32 and modem boards, it is sometime available as a pack (2 boards in the same blister). Example P-L496G-CELL02.
In case of issue, do not forget to check ST-Link FW version and upgrade it if needed (You can use Cube Programmer to achieve this).
2. B-L462E-CELL1
2.1. Boards and STLink USB cable connections
Red USB cable from PC to power and interact with the STM32.
3. P-L496G-CELL02
3.1. Boards and STLink USB cable connections
Red USB cable from PC to power and interact with the STM32.
4. B-L4S5I-IOT01A + X-NUCLEO-STMODA1 + GM01Q-STMOD or STEVAL-STMODLTE
4.1. Boards and STLink USB cable connections
Red USB cable from PC to power and interact with the STM32.
5. 32L496GDISCOVERY + GM01Q-STMOD or STEVAL-STMODLTE
5.1. Boards and STLink USB cable connections
Red USB cable from PC to power and interact with the STM32.
6. STEVAL-STWINKT1 + GM01Q-STMOD or STEVAL-STMODLTE
6.1. Boards and STLink USB cable connections
Red USB cable from PC to interact with the STM32 through the ST-Link V3 (provided in the blister).
A second USB cable, connected to USB connector of the STWIN, is needed to power it.
7. Before X-CUBE-CELLULAR V6.0.0
Other hardware setups were supported, P-L496G-CELL01 (like P-L496G-CELL02 but the modem is UG96 (Quectel 2G/3G)) and B-L475E-IOT01A.
UG96 was no more used because nowdays LTE CatM and NBIoT networks are available and 3G is not low power friendly.
B-L475E-IOT01A (IoT node V1) was repalced by B-L4S5I-IOT01A (IoT node V1.5)
