What's in this release

u-connectXpressApp is the command shell for u-connectXpress modules (NORA-W36, NORA-B26). It runs on Windows and Linux, and as firmware on the NUCLEO-H753ZI, NUCLEO-F767ZI, NUCLEO-F439ZI, NUCLEO-F401RE, NUCLEO-F446RE, STM32F4DISCOVERY, NUCLEO-F103RB and NUCLEO-G071RB (lite) boards.

  • One launcher, ucxapp.py, for Windows, Linux (also WSL) and STM32
  • Hardware detection with --detect, including NORA modules, GNSS receiver and IMU
  • New command modules for the app, GNSS, IMU, cellular and hardware
  • Streaming and a terminal UI
  • Embedded web page for the module
  • STM32 board configurations in app/boards/

Downloads

ucxapp-<version>.zip holds every target, with SHA-256 checksums next to each file:

windows/ucxapp.exe            signed; run it with the module's COM port
linux/ucxapp                  run it with the serial port, e.g. /dev/ttyUSB0
stm32/stm32_h753/             .bin/.hex/.elf; flash with STM32CubeProgrammer at 0x08000000
stm32/stm32_f767/
stm32/stm32_f439/
stm32/stm32_f407/             STM32F4DISCOVERY
stm32/stm32_f401/
stm32/stm32_f446/
stm32/stm32_f103/             lite build
stm32/stm32_g071/             lite build

ucxapp.exe (Windows, signed) and ucxapp (Linux x64) are also attached on their own.

Connecting a NORA-W36 to a NUCLEO board

All boards use the Arduino header CN10. The shell runs on the ST-Link virtual COM port (115200 baud).

NORA-W36 pin Arduino pin NUCLEO-H753ZI NUCLEO-F767ZI / F439ZI Function
TX D0 (CN10) PB7 (USART1_RX) PG9 (USART6_RX) Board receives
RX D1 (CN10) PB6 (USART1_TX) PG14 (USART6_TX) Board transmits
GND GND (CN10) GND GND Ground
VCC 3V3 (CN10) 3.3V 3.3V Power

The module UART runs at 115200 baud. Use bridge in the shell to talk to the module directly from a PC terminal.

What's Changed

  • STM32: SD card and flash file store, build-all summary, drop ODIN_W26 define by @ubx-cmag in #1
