1. Introduction
This wiki page contains information to help users with their hardware setups.
X-CUBE-CELLULAR V6.0.0 supports different types of hardware setups.
Some are based on a module that contains both an STM32 and modem while some others are based on two boards, one STM32 board associated with one modem board.
If the STM32 board has no STMod+ connector, an ARDUINO® / STMod+ adaptor must be used. This is the case for the B-L4S5I-IOT01A.
Separate STM32 and modem boards are sometimes available as a pack (2 boards in the same blister). This is the case for the P-L496G-CELL02.
In case of issue, do not forget to check the ST-LINK firmware version and upgrade it if needed (You can use the STM32CubeProgrammer tool to achieve this (STM32CubeProg)).
2. B-L462E-CELL1
2.1. Boards and ST-LINK 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)
