STEVAL-MKI109V1 and STEVAL-MKI109V2 - eMotion
motherboards for MEMS adapter boards
Introduction
The STEVAL-MKI109V1 and STEVAL-MKI109V2 (eMotion) are two motherboards designed
to provide the user with a complete ready-to-use platform for the demonstration of MEMS
devices mounted on adapter boards.
The STEVAL-MKI109V1 demonstration board uses an STM32F102RB microcontroller while
the STEVAL-MKI109V2 uses an STM32F103RET6 microcontroller; these function as a
bridge between the sensor on the adapter board and the PC, on which it is possible to use
the Unico graphical user interface (GUI) downloadable from the ST website or dedicated
software routines for customized applications.
This user manual describes the hardware included with the demonstration kit and provides
the information required to install and run the demonstration kit user interface.
For details regarding the features of each sensor, please refer to the datasheets available for
each individual device.

1 Demonstration kit description
The eMotion is a complete demonstration kit that allows demonstration of both digital and
analog MEMS sensors. Thanks to its DIL 24 connector, a wide range of MEMS adapter
boards can be used.
The block diagram of the demonstration kit is shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1. Demonstration board block diagram
As shown in the Figure 1, the eMotion demonstration kit is based on the STM32F10xRx
microcontroller and can be connected to the PC through the USB bus. Data coming from the
MEMS sensor connected to the board can be read through the PC GUI provided with the kit.
The eMotion also implements the DFU (device firmware upgrade) feature, therefore, in the
case of a new firmware release, it can be reprogrammed without the need to use a
programmer. See www.st.com/mems for new firmware release.
The eMotion also integrates three general purpose LEDs, two LEDs connected directly to
the interrupt pins of digital adapters and the power/USB LED. Moreover, the eMotion
integrates three buttons: two are available to the user on a dedicated GPIO of the
microcontroller, while the other is used as reset for the microcontroller.
All the MEMS adapter pins are available on two connectors placed on the board (Figure 2
JP2 and JP3).
The top silk screen view and image of the full board are shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3
respectively.

Figure 3. Board top view
In order to use the eMotion demonstration kit, installation of a dedicated driver is required,
which is included in the installation pack, together with a GUI interface which allows simple
interaction with the sensor. The steps required for driver and software installation are
described in the following sections.
In Figure 3 some main components placed on the top layer of the eMotion kit are
highlighted.
●Jumpers JP9 and JP10 (Figure 3, ref 10, ref 11) are used to select the STM32 boot
mode. When the eMotion is used together with MEMS adapters, JP9 and J1P0 must be
fitted (see STM32 datasheet for more information).
●Jumper J2 (Figure 3, ref 7) can be used to directly supply the board (from 3.5 V to 6 V)
instead of using the USB connector.
●Jumper JP1 allows the user to measure the sensor current consumption by connecting
a multimeter in series with its terminals (Figure 3, ref 9).
●Jumpers JP4, JP5, and JP6 (Figure 3, ref 8) are used to manually set some features
which are available for just some of the analog MEMS adapters (see Ta ble 1 for more
details). JP4 is used to set the self test feature, JP5 to handle the power-down pin, and
JP6 to reset the MEMS high-pass filter. When they are fitted on pins 2-3, these
functions are handled by the firmware itself.

●J1 connector (Figure 3, ref 3) can be used to both reprogram the STM32 and to debug
the code through the JTAG or SWD protocols.
●Jumper JP7 (Figure 3, ref 4) is used to select either JTAG (JP7 unfitted) or SWD (JP7
fitted) mode.
eMotion also integrates six LEDs and three buttons:
●LED D1 (Figure 3, ref 6) is switched on when the board is power supplied.
●LEDs D2 and D3 (Figure 3, ref 13) are directly connected to the interrupt pins of the
MEMS digital adapters (if available on the sensor mounted on the adapter board).
●LEDs D4, D5, and D6 (Figure 3, ref 12) are general purpose LEDs and are used to
indicate some firmware state. For example, LED D6 is switched on when a specific
firmware is selected from those available. LED D5 on indicates that the microcontroller
is well configured for communication with the sensor. Finally the LED D4, blinks
according to the sensor data rate selected.
●Button SW3 (Figure 3, ref 1) is used to reset the STM32.
●Button SW1 and SW2 (Figure 3, ref 2 and ref 5) are connected to STM32 GPIOs and
are available to the user.

2 eMotion board installation
The software package can be downloaded from the st.com website and includes the
following directory structure:
●DRIVER: it contains the installation package for the USB drivers needed to connect the
eMotion board to the PC
●DFU: it contains the installation package for the software needed to upgrade the
firmware of the eMotion board (DFU)
●FIRMWARE: it contains the source code of the firmware of the eMotion board together
with the corresponding binary file that can be flashed to the board using the DFU
software.
The sections below describe the procedure to install the driver for the eMotion board and the
DFU software.
2.1 Hardware installation
To install the STM32 virtual COM port driver, launch the “VCPDriver_V1.1_Setup.exe”
included in the package under the “DRIVER” folder and follow the instructions on the
screen. Once the driver is installed, insert the demonstration kit board into a free USB port.
The “Notify” icon should appear, as in Figure 4.
Figure 4. Notify icon
The “Hardware Update Wizard” window then appears (Figure 5), follow the instructions on
the screen to complete the procedure. When driver installations starts, the user is prompted
with the “Hardware Installation” dialog window, click the “Continue Anyway” button.

Figure 5. Hardware update Wizard
Now the eMotion should be recognized by the PC as a virtual COM. In order to check which
COM port has been assigned to the board, right click on “My Computer” and select
“Manage”, select “Device Manager” and scroll through the list until “Ports(COM & LPT)”. In
the following example (Figure 6) the COM11 has been assigned to the board.

Doc ID 17768 Rev 2 11/34
Figure 6. Virtual COM driver port assignment
2.2 DFU
To install the DFU software, launch the “DfuSe_Demo_V3.0_Setup.exe” included in the
software package under the “DFU” folder and follow the instructions on the screen. To
launch the software, select “Start > STMicroelectronics > DfuSe > DfuSe Demonstration”: in
order to configure the eMotion board in DFU Mode it’s necessary to keep button SW2
pressed before to supply the board and release it when the leds D1, D4, D5, and D6 light up.
The MEMS DFU (device firmware update) GUI is a graphical interface that allows the user
to download and replace the firmware of a MEMS product division demonstration board
directly from a PC through the USB port.
The MEMS STEVAL-MKI109V1 and STEVAL-MKI109V2 demonstration boards have the
capability of reprogramming an application through the USB, in accordance with the DFU
class specification defined by the USB Implementers Forum. This capability is useful
because it allows to reprogram the microcontroller directly in the field and is particularly well
suited to USB applications where the same USB connector can be used both for the
standard operating mode and for the reprogramming process.
For more details regarding DFU and the microcontroller ST GUI, see the related user
manual located under “Start > STMicroelectronics > DfuSe > Docs > DfuSe Getting
Started”.

4 Supported commands
The microcontroller mounted on the eMotion board is equipped with dedicated firmware that
supports a set of commands which allow to control either the digital or the analog output
MEMS sensor and permits the acquisition of the measured data. The firmware also handles
the communication between the board and the PC through the USB bus. These features
allow the user to easily write their own applications to exploit the capabilities of the sensor
chosen.
This section describes the commands that are supported by the firmware for the
microcontroller of the eMotion demonstration kit.
4.1 Getting started
Before using the commands supported by the firmware, the following procedure must be
performed:
1. Connect the eMotion to the USB port
2. Launch an application which allows to send commands through the virtual serial port.
The remainder of this document assumes the use of “Microsoft© HyperTerminal”
program available with the Windows XP operating system
3. Create a new connection, enter a name (e.g. “STEVAL-MKI0109V1”), and click “OK”
4. In the “Connect Using” field, select the virtual COM port to which the USB port has
been mapped, and click “OK”
5. In port settings, set bits per second to 115200, data bits to 8, parity to none, stop bits to
1, and flow control to none. Click “OK”
6. On the “HyperTerminal” application window choose “files” > “properties” > “settings”,
then click on the “ASCII Setup” button
7. Select “Send line ends with line feeds” and “Echo typed characters locally”
8. Click the “OK” button to close the “ASCII Setup” window
9. Click the “OK” button to close the “Properties” window.
Once this procedure has been completed the user can utilize the commands described in
the following sections by typing them into the “HyperTerminal” window.
4.2 Supported commands
The firmware supports a wide range of MEMS adapters; the next section reports the
complete list of supported commands (see Ta b l e 3 ) and their description.
Then, split into sections, the list of commands available for each sensor supported by the
eMotion firmware is reported.

Note: IR: interrupt byte; FC: FIFO control register; FS: FIFO source register.
Set demonstration board
The command *setdbxxxvy selects the part of the firmware able to handle the adapter board
sensor connected to the board. e.g., in order to select the firmware for the LIS3DH the
command must be: setdb105V1. The D6 LED (green) is automatically switched on.
Start command
The *start command initiates the continuous data acquisition. When this command is sent to
the device, it returns a string of bytes (plus carriage return and line feed) similar to “st OUT1
OUT2 OUT3 IR BT”.
The first two bytes are always the ASCII char “s” and “t” which correspond to the
hexadecimal values {73h 74h}.
OUT1, OUT2, and OUT3 are the bytes that contain the values measured at device outputs;
if the output data is represented on more than 8 bits, OUT1, OUT2, and OUT3 are split into
two bytes: high byte (e.g.: “XH”) and low byte (e.g.: “XL”).
IR contains the interrupt bytes and BT contains the bytes that describe the state of the
buttons integrated on the board.
Specifically, bit#0 of the “BT” data corresponds to the status of the SW1 button on the
demonstration kit board: it is set to 1 when the SW1 is pressed (otherwise 0). Bit#1 has the
same behavior but is dedicated to the SW2.
Before sending the *start command, the device must be out from 3-state and some registers
must be configured according to user needs, therefore, *start must be preceded by a *zoff
and some “Register Write” commands.
Ta bl e 4 shows the format of the string returned for each device when a *start command is
sent.
*PDOFF Clears power-down pin
*STON Sets self test pin
*STOFF Clears self test pin
*HPON Sets high-pass filter pin
*HPOFF Clears high-pass filter pin
*FSON Sets full scale pin
*FSOFF Clears full scale pin

Stop command
The *stop command interrupts any acquisition session that has been started with either the
*start or *debug commands.
Zon and Zoff
The *Zon and *Zoff commands are employed, respectively, to put into 3-state the
STM32F10xRx microcontroller mounted on the demonstration kit. These commands allow
the isolation of the sensor from the microprocessor and let the user to interact with the
sensor in a pure analog way.
By default, when the kit is first turned on, the lines are in 3-state mode and the user is
required to send the *Zoff command to allow communication between the sensor and the
microcontroller. If Zoff has not been launched, the firmware ignores any other command.
Device name
The *dev command retrieves the name of the adapter connected to the demonstration kit.
The returned value is, for example, “LIS3DH”.
Firmware version
The *ver command queries the demonstration kit and returns the version of the firmware
loaded in the microprocessor, for example, “V1.0”.
Accelerometer register read
The *rAA command allows the contents of the accelerometer registers in the demonstration
kit board to be read. AA, expressed as a hexadecimal value and written in upper case,
represents the address of the register to be read.
Once the read command is issued, the board returns RAAhDDh, where AA is the address
sent by the user and DD is the data present in the register.
For example, to read the register at address 0x20, the user issues the command *r20, which
returns, e.g., R20hC7h.
Accelerometer register write
The *wAADD command allows writing to the contents of the accelerometer registers in the
demonstration kit board. AA and DD, expressed as hexadecimal values and written in upper
case, represent, respectively, the address of the register and the data to be written. For
example, to write 0xC7 to the register at address 0x20, the user issues the command
*w20C7.
Gyroscope register read
The *grAA command allows the contents of the gyroscope registers in the demonstration kit
board to be read. AA, expressed as hexadecimal value and written in upper case,
represents the address of the register to be read.
Once the read command is issued, the board returns GRAAhDDh, where AA is the address
sent by the user and DD is the data present in the register.
For example, to read the register at address 0x20, the user issues the command *gr20,
which returns, e.g., GR20hC7h.

Gyroscope register write
The *gwAADD command allows writing to the contents of the gyroscope registers in the
demonstration kit board. AA and DD, expressed as hexadecimal values and written in upper
case, represent, respectively, the address of the register and the data to be written. To write
0xC7 to the register at address 0x20, for example, the user issues the command *gw20C7.
Magnetometer register read
The *mrAA command allows the contents of the magnetometer registers in the
demonstration kit board to be read. AA, expressed as a hexadecimal value and written in
upper case, represents the address of the register to be read.
Once the read command is issued, the board returns MRAAhDDh, where AA is the address
sent by the user and DD is the data present in the register.
For example, to read the register at address 0x00, the user issues the command *mr00,
which returns, e.g., MR00h10h.
Magnetometer register write
The *mwAADD command allows writing to the contents of the magnetometer registers in
the demonstration kit board. AA and DD, expressed as hexadecimal values and written in
upper case, represent, respectively, the address of the register and the data to be written. To
write 0x20 to the register at address 0x01, for example, the user issues the command
*mw0120.
Pressure sensor register read
The *prAA command allows the contents of the pressure sensor registers in the
demonstration kit board to be read. AA, expressed as a hexadecimal value and written in
upper case, represents the address of the register to be read.
Once the read command is issued, the board returns PRAAhDDh, where AA is the address
sent by the user and DD is the data present in the register.
For example, to read the register at address 0x20, the user issues the command *pr20,
which returns, e.g., PR20h10h.
Pressure sensor register write
The *pwAADD command allows writing to the contents of the pressure sensor registers in
the demonstration kit board. AA and DD, expressed as hexadecimal values and written in
upper case, represent, respectively, the address of the register and the data to be written. To
write 0xC7 to the register at address 0x20, for example, the user issues the command
*pw20C7.
Single acquisition
The *single command may be used to read just one set of data. It requires the sensor to be
well configured and once invoked, returns the read values of one data sample.
The format of the returned value is exactly the same as the *debug command (Tabl e 5 ), in
fact, the *debug command is used for continuous data acquisition purposes whereas a
*single command returns just one set of data.
