X-NUCLEO-WB05KN1: BLE expansion board
Overview
The X-NUCLEO-WB05KN1 is a Bluetooth Low Energy evaluation board which allows the expansion of the STM32 Nucleo boards. The RF module is FCC (FCC ID: YCP-MB203202) and IC certified (IC: 8976A-MB203202).
The X-NUCLEO-WB05KN1 is compatible out of the box with the Arduino UNO R3 connector. The board interfaces with the host microcontroller via UART (default) or SPI peripheral.
More information about the board can be found at the X-NUCLEO-WB05KN1 website [1].
Configurations
X-NUCLEO-WB05KN1 can be utilized as a Bluetooth Low-Energy controller shield with a UART or SPI host controller interface (HCI-UART/HCI-SPI).
The UART default settings are:
Baudrate: 921600 bps
8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit

Note
Please, bear in mind in order to use SPI interface you need to change the shield firmware
to DTM_SPI_WITH_UPDATER_CONTROLLER according to the SDK provided by ST at X-CUBE-WB05N [2].
IRQ and reset pins are also necessary in addition to SPI pins.

Programming
Activate the presence of the shield for the project build by adding the
--shield x_nucleo_wb05kn1_uart or --shield x_nucleo_wb05kn1_spi when you invoke
west build based on UART or SPI interface:
west build -b your_board_name --shield x_nucleo_wb05kn1_uart your_app
or
west build -b your_board_name --shield x_nucleo_wb05kn1_spi your_app
