General purpose ST7540 power line modem module based on
ST7540 PLM and STM32 microcontroller
Introduction
This document explains how to use and setup the firmware and the software designed for
the STEVAL-IHP005V1 board and all the necessary setup for using the hardware.
The application firmware uses the ST7540 power line modem firmware stack driver
described in the UM1573: “ST7540 power line modem firmware stack”, and is organized in a
layer structure. A dedicated layer allows the user to design his own application interfacing to
the module features with very simple and easy to use APIs. A dedicated software graphical
user interface (GUI) allows the user to use all the embedded features interfacing the PLM
module with the PC via an RS232 communication port.
This firmware is developed using STM32F10x Standard Peripherals Library Rel.3.5.0 and
IAR Embedded Workbench® IDE for STM32 microcontrollers Rel. 6.3
The STEVAL-IHP005V1 hardware module embeds an ARM 32-bit Cortex™-M3 core-based
STM32F103xB and a FSK power line transceiver ST7540.
