Getting started with the STM32 Nucleo pack for USB Type-C™ and
Power Delivery with the Nucleo-F072RB board and the STUSB1602
Introduction
The USB Type-C™ and Power Delivery Nucleo pack P-NUCLEO-USB002 includes:
the NUCLEO-F072RB board
the P-NUCLEO-USB002 expansion board based on the certified STUSB1602 USB Type-C port
controller with PD PHY and BMC driver
a full-featured Type-C cable
These components, together with the X-CUBE-USB-PD certified STM32F0 USB Type-C PD middleware
stack, form a platform for demonstrating USB Type-C and USB Power Delivery (USB PD) capabilities
and facilitating solution development.
The new USB PD protocol expands USB functionality by providing up to 100 W power over the same
cable used for data communication. Devices supporting the protocol are able to negotiate voltage and
current over the USB power pins and define their roles as Provider or Consumer accordingly.
Once the platform is configured, the embedded demonstration firmware can signal cable status
(attached or detached) and orientation information, as well as the role of each of the two ports.

sinking power, respectively
LED off - no power is being provided or sunk on the port
1.5.2 Standalone demo with external hardware connected
This procedure lets you change modes and observe P-NUCLEO-USB002 LED feedback
signals with an external port partner.
In the Provider and DRP roles, the exposed power profiles are dummies.

sinking power, respectively
LED off - no power is being provided or sunk on the port
5
Use the command line interface to interact with the application.
1.6 Running demos with a PC
The following demonstration applications require a PC for serial communication through the
"Command Line Interface" (CLI), which lets you access power delivery application data and
send commands.
Ensure that P-NUCLEO-USB002 expansion board CN2 is connected to NUCLEO-F072RB
CN3 using the female wires included in the package:
CN2_1 to CN3_TX
CN2_2 to CN3_RX
