STM32 Nucleo connections
The X-NUCLEO-IDW04A1 expansion board is designed to be plugged directly on the
STM32 Nucleo board connectors. The X-NUCLEO-IDW04A1 is configured by default to be
compatible with as many STM32 Nucleo boards as possible. It may also be configured, via
jumper or resistor placement, to use different I/O configurations to match specific customer
targets.
2.3
UART/SPI interface and GPIO connection options
The connection between the SPWF04SA and the STM32 Nucleo board is made via a four-
wire UART (with hardware flow control; refer to
Table 9: "SPWF04SA module UART
interface with STM32 Nucleo board"
) or a five-wire SPI (see
Table 10: "SPWF04SA module
SPI interface with STM32 Nucleo board"
), and some GPIOs.
A multiple connection arrangement offers the maximum modularity.
The alternative pins could be useful in case of conflicts with additional STM32 Nucleo
expansion boards.
