To install these drivers, go to the “Device Manager”... -
Page 16: Performing A "Build And Download" From Wiced Studio
Sterling-LWB STM Expansion Board USER GUIDE 3.5.2 Performing a “Build and Download” from WICED Studio The programming process depends on the OpenOCD programming utility, bundled with the WICED SDK from Cypress. During development, the programming process can be started directly from within WICED Studio. -
Page 17: Troubleshooting
Sterling-LWB STM Expansion Board USER GUIDE 4. Troubleshooting 4.1 Understanding the Role of OpenOCD WICED Studio depends on several tools that are bundled as part of the ‘43xxx_Wi-Fi’ folder installed on your system. One of the important tools is OpenOCD which is used to communicate with target hardware for programming and debugging operations. -

Sterling-LWB STM Expansion Board USER GUIDE then register the device with the TiWiConnect cloud service and the Sterling-LWB will attempt to connect and begin reporting sensor data on a periodic basis. 5.4.4 Interacting with your Sterling-LWB over BLE In the device list, if your Sterling-LWB is within range for a BLE connection and you select it from the list, the app will attempt to communicate directly over BLE to report sensor data and provide control over the LEDs on the discovery board. -
Page 22: Using The Tiwiconnect Web Application
Sterling-LWB STM Expansion Board USER GUIDE 5.5.2 Using the TiWiConnect Web Application To view the interface for your specific Sterling-LWB: 1.) Enter the Bluetooth address of your Sterling-LWB module with no spaces or semicolons and in lowercase (e.g. 0025ca076920), then press the SELECT button. If you don’t know what the Bluetooth address is, you can see it displayed in the device list view of the mobile app. - Page 23 Sterling-LWB STM Expansion Board USER GUIDE 5.) If you press and hold the Blue “User” button on the STM32F411 discovery board, you’ll notice the blue circle under the “Buttons” heading will shrink slightly. When you let go, it will grow to its original size.

Sterling-LWB STM Expansion Board USER GUIDE The STM32F411VET6U are very STM32F412VET6U similar parts. The main differences are, up to 1 Meg byte Flash and 256 k byte RAM and additional peripherals (FSMC, QSPI, DFSDM and CAN). The Sterling Demo Board does not use the additional peripherals. In general, a platform that was based on the STM32F411 VEH6 can be updated to support the STM32F412VET6U with the following changes to the .mk file HOST_MCU_VARIANT... -
Page 26: Other Processors
Sterling-LWB STM Expansion Board USER GUIDE In order to make use of this in the application code, add something like: #define MY_BUF_LEN 16384 uint8_t my_static_buffer_in_ccm[MY_BUF_LEN]__attribute__((section (".ccmram"))); This code will allocate a static block of 16384 bytes into CCM_SRAM, which will leave more space in the contiguous RAM block on the STM32F407/417 for system buffers, stacks, and the heap. - Page 27 Mouser Electronics Authorized Distributor Click to View Pricing, Inventory, Delivery & Lifecycle Information: Laird Connectivity 450-0173...
