u-blox C030-N211 IoT Starter Kit¶

Hardware¶

Platform ST STM32: The STM32 family of 32-bit Flash MCUs based on the ARM Cortex-M processor is designed to offer new degrees of freedom to MCU users. It offers a 32-bit product range that combines very high performance, real-time capabilities, digital signal processing, and low-power, low-voltage operation, while maintaining full integration and ease of development.

Configuration¶

Please use ublox_c030_n211 ID for board option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File):

[env:ublox_c030_n211]
platform = ststm32
board = ublox_c030_n211

You can override default u-blox C030-N211 IoT Starter Kit settings per build environment using board_*** option, where *** is a JSON object path from board manifest ublox_c030_n211.json. For example, board_build.mcu, board_build.f_cpu, etc.

[env:ublox_c030_n211]
platform = ststm32
board = ublox_c030_n211

; change microcontroller
board_build.mcu = stm32f437vg

; change MCU frequency
board_build.f_cpu = 180000000L

Uploading¶

u-blox C030-N211 IoT Starter Kit supports the next uploading protocols:

• jlink

• stlink

• blackmagic

• mbed

• cmsis-dap

Default protocol is mbed

You can change upload protocol using upload_protocol option:

[env:ublox_c030_n211]
platform = ststm32
board = ublox_c030_n211

upload_protocol = mbed

Debugging¶

PIO Unified Debugger - “1-click” solution for debugging with a zero configuration.

You can switch between debugging Tools & Debug Probes using debug_tool option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File).

u-blox C030-N211 IoT Starter Kit does not have on-board debug probe and IS NOT READY for debugging. You will need to use/buy one of external probe listed below.
