Getting started

This section describes the hardware requirements for the X-NUCLEO-IDB05A1 evaluation
board.
1.1

Hardware requirements

The X-NUCLEO-IDB05A1 is an expansion board for use with STM32 Nucleo boards. To
function correctly, the X-NUCLEO-IDB05A1 must be connected to the STM32 Nucleo
board as shown in
through the Arduino UNO R3 connector"
The STM32 Nucleo firmware and related documentation is available at
http://www.st.com/stm32nucleo

The interconnection between the STM32 Nucleo and the X-NUCLEO-IDB05A1 has been
designed to permit the use of any STM32 Nucleo board, although complete testing has
been performed using the NUCLEO-L053R8 hosting the ultra-low power STM32, and the
NUCLEO-F401RE hosting the dynamic efficiency STM32.
1.2

System requirements

Using the Nucleo boards with the X-NUCLEO-IDB05A1 expansion board requires the
following software and hardware:

Windows PC (XP, Vista, 7, 8) to install the firmware package

USB type A to Mini-B USB cable to connect the Nucleo board to the PC
Installation of the board firmware package (order code: X-CUBE-BLE1) and the BlueNRG
graphical user interface utility on the user's PC requires the following:
