STM32 Cellular-to-Cloud Discovery Packs now in distribution
Two variants of the pack are available. Each contains an STM32L496 Discovery Board and STMod+ cellular expansion board with Quectel modem, ST Incard embedded SIM (eSIM) with EMnify profile supporting 2G/3G connectivity, and a microSIM socket for users wishing to use another MNO. The P-L496G-CELL01 pack is for connecting to current worldwide 2G/3G networks. The P-L496G-CELL02 supports 3GPP LTE Cat M1/NB-IoT Release 13 with 2G fallback.
Sample scripts, which are ready to run in the Espruino JavaScript engine already ported on the STM32 microcontroller are included. The scripts can be freely customised.
To ease the transition to full C coding, each pack is supported in the X-CUBE-CLD-GEN STM32Cube software expansion package available online. This will soon be followed by the X-CUBE-CELLULAR package, which is based on FreeRTOS and includes a reference implementation of a cellular connectivity driver, a BSD-like (Berkeley Sockets) standard C API that eases integration of the application, and a simple API.
