STMicroelectronics STEVAL-NBIOTV1 NB-IoT Evaluation Platform

STMicroelectronics STEVAL-NBIOTV1 NB-IoT Evaluation Platform is a compact, battery-powered evaluation platform and reference design tailored for asset tracking, smart city applications, and metering. The STEVAL-NBIOTV1 integrates multiple key elements: the ST87M01 ultracompact, low-power NB-IoT industrial module featuring additional ADC, GNSS, and Wi-Fi positioning capabilities, the STM32U585RI microcontroller, onboard sensors, and extra memory via a 32Mbit serial SPI page EEPROM. This all-in-one integration enables rapid Internet of Things (IoT) application development without requiring external add-ons or additional hardware.

An example application code is provided to optimize low-power operation and accelerate time-to-market. Connectivity and location-based services are powered by the ST87M01 narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) and GNSS module. Multiple communication interfaces are supported, including UART, I2C, and SPI. Efficient power management and data storage components are integrated, and an expansion connector allows easy addition of further functionalities.

The STMicroelectronics STEVAL-NBIOTV1 does not include an STM32 debugger/programmer; a compatible debugger can be purchased separately. The recommended part numbers are STLINK-V3MINIE or, alternatively, STLINK-V3SET.
