X-NUCLEO-STMODA1 Hardware Description
•The X-NUCLEO-STMODA1 is a passive
adaptation board between Arduino Uno and
STMod+ connectors.
•It provides an easy-to-use solution for expanding
the Arduino UNO based ST ecosystem with
devices using STMod+ connector.
•The X-NUCLEO-STMODA1 includes a
comprehensive set of jumpers that allows to
modify the way the connector mapping is
operated, allowing to be compatible with a wider
range of STM32 Nucleo board.
•Since fully passive, no software is associated.

Assembling the cellular dev-kit 7
1Stack the X-NUCLEO-STMODA1 to the B-L475E-IOT01. Verify that jumper setting that
match their default value (set for B-L475E-IOT01), looking at the X-NUCLEO-STMODA1
User manual or look at following slide
Example of use of the X-NUCLEO-STMODA1 adaptation shield
2Connect the modem using the STMod+ connector to the X-NUCLEO-STMODA1, and
connect the LTE antenna using the SMA connector.
3Connect Micro-USB cable using the connector on the B-L475E-IOT01 on the left the
closest to the modem and the USB-A to the PC

Software components
•STM32Cube software (CUBE) -A set
of free tools and embedded software bricks
to enable fast and easy development on
the STM32, including a Hardware
Abstraction Layer and middleware bricks.
•STM32Cube expansion software
(X-CUBE) -Expansion software provided
free for use with the STM32 Nucleo
expansion board and fully compatible with
the STM32Cube software framework. It
provides abstracted access to expansion
board functionality through high-level APIs
and sample applications.

•Compatibility with multiple Development Environments - The STM32 Open Development
Environment is compatible with a number of IDEs including IAR EWARM, Keil MDK, and GCC-based
environments. Users can choose from three IDEs from leading vendors, which are free of charge and
deployed in close cooperation with ST. These include Eclipse-based IDEs such as Ac6 System
Workbench for STM32 and the MDK-ARM environment.
