Introduction
The B-L4S5I-IOT01A Discovery kit for the IoT node allows the user to develop applications with a direct connection to the cloud
servers.
The B-L4S5I-IOT01A Discovery kit for the IoT node enables a wide diversity of applications by exploiting low-power
multilink communication (Bluetooth® Low Energy, Wi‑Fi®, NFC), multiway sensing (detection, environmental awareness) and
Arm® Cortex®-M4 core-based STM32L4+ Series features.
ARDUINO® Uno V3 and Pmod™ connectivity provide unlimited expansion capabilities with a large choice of specialized add-on
boards.
The B-L4S5I-IOT01A Discovery kit for the IoT node includes an ST-LINK debugger/programmer and comes with the
comprehensive STM32CubeL4 MCU Package, which provides an STM32 comprehensive software HAL library as well as
various software examples to seamlessly connect to cloud servers.
