Some of the following information can be retrieved in the Building Wireless Applications with STM32WB Series microcontrollers Application Note.

2. Requirements

2.1. Software and System requirements

Software required are the following:
IDE:

• IAR Systems® v8.20.2
• STM32CubeIDE.
• Keil® µVision® v5.23

Programmer:

• STM32CubeProgrammer : To flash the board with an already generated binary

2.2. Hardware requirements

A Nucleo board, a STM32WB USB dongle, or a STM32WB Discovery Kit is necessary to install the application.

More details about the board and other hardware required are available in the BLE and 802.15.4 Nucleo pack User Manual , in the ST BLE-Mesh Application Note, or in the online ST BLE-Mesh MOOC.

3. Build & Install the application

This chapter describe the build process using IAR and STM32Cube IDE.

3.1. IAR IDE

Select the application you want to build, open the IAR (EWARM) dedicated directory and launch the project.eww IAR file to open the demonstration project on IDE.

Ensure your project is correctly visible into Project Explorer view.

Build you project by reproducing the following steps:

IAR: build

3.2. Cube IDE

Select the application you want to build, open the STM32CubeIDE dedicated directory and launch the Cube IDE .project of the demonstration.

3.3. Install the application from Cube Programmer

It is either possible to flash the previously build binary using STM32CubeProgrammer software.

Select your device and connect to it:
