[Music] hello I'm Alec bath applications manager for s t's wireless microcontrollers in the Americas in this multi-part video series my team and I are going to get you started developing with the multi protocol dual-core stm32 WB wireless microcontroller to get started we'll walk you through our relevant website pages at st.com well point you where to download s t's queue based ecosystem tools user manuals firmware and examples and lots of other great resources such as application notes covering everything from RF design to protocol stacks may also wish to hit up your favorite distributor for this to
board nucleo pack with everything you need to run hundreds of firmware examples we offer you can also buy it directly at st.com it's less than $50 and a micro USB cable and you're ready to go next up will give you pointers on Tools installation now you may already be familiar with many of these tools as many of them already support our 1600 plus stm32 part types there's a few new tools and features specific to the WB's wireless capabilities we'll cover now the first question you'll have to ask yourself is what is my C compiler tool
chain of choice if you're already developing the recent version of IR or Kyle you may want to just stick with that for coding on The WB a third option is s T's cube IDE development environment based on the Eclipse framework GCC toolchain and gdb debugger the next tool to install is Cuba Mex the super popular configuration and code generation utility other useful tools we recommend are the cube monitor RF wireless testing tool and cube monitor power for real-time current measurement great for your next battery-powered application we'll cover all the details on these powerful free tools
and follow-on videos next we'll dig into the cube WB firmware library we'll show you where to find your first hello world project the Bluetooth low-energy heart rate monitor how the ble ZigBee thread and 802 dot 15.4 projects are structured and lots more we'll also introduce you to the multi-role capabilities of the WB over-the-air firmware updates and using all the WB's great standard MCU peripherals finally we'll deep dive into a new feature for installing encrypted stacks with the Q programmer calibrating your external crystal and in upcoming videos we'll dig even deeper into all of these great
2.4 gigahertz wireless protocols so enjoy and we'll talk again soon [Music]
