2 Getting started
2.1 ST-link
The ST-link utility and drivers used by the EVK-ODIN-W2 can be obtained from http://st.com (search
for STSW-LINK004). Note that registration is required and it can take a few hours before you can
download the software.
☞
You should install the ST-link utility and drivers before connecting the USB cable to your PC.
⚠
There can be some issues while using the EVK-ODIN-W2 with Windows 10. To avoid these issues,
upgrade the ST-link firmware on the debug chip and make sure that you have the latest USB mass
storage device driver. See Appendix A for additional information.
2.2 Power up the evaluation board
To power up the evaluation board, plug in an external power supply in J11 connector or connect to a
USB host with a USB cable attached to the J8 connector.
⚠
Be careful to check polarity before connecting the external power supply to the EVK-ODIN-W2
evaluation board. Center conductor is positive (+) and the ring is negative (-).
2.3 Getting started with u-connectXpress software
The EVK-ODIN-W2 evaluation board is delivered with u-connectXpress software flashed to the ODIN-
W2 module. The UART application can be accessed through the USB connector with the following
limitations:
1. No UART flow control
2. Recommended baud rate: 115 200
These limitations are due to the UART being routed through the ST-link debug chip. The virtual
comport that is used should present itself as "STMicroelectronics STLink Virtual COM Port". You can
check the port number using the Windows Device Manager if you did not observe it during installation.
The default baudrate settings are provided below:
 Baudrate: 115 200
 Data: 8 bit
 Parity: none
 Stop: 1 bit
 Flow control: none
☞
Notice that the UART setting differs from the default configuration of the ODIN-W2 modules
where flow control using CTS and RTS is enabled.
⚠
If the serial settings are reset by holding SW1 during boot, flow control will be enabled again. To
communicate with ODIN-W2 after this, disable the flow control again by following the steps 4-7 in
section 2.3.2.
For more information about the u-connectXpress application of ODIN-W2, refer to the
u-connectXpress software User Guide [5].
