Description
FP-ATR-BLE1 is an STM32Cube function pack for asset tracking using BLE
connectivity for the SensorTile.box wireless multi sensor development kit, which
helps you to build custom applications.
The package includes pressure, relative humidity, temperature and accelerometer
sensors and the SPBTLE-1S Bluetooth low energy system-on-chip application
processor.
With the STEVAL-MKSBOX1V1 kit with BLE connectivity, you can monitor and log
the sensor data using the ST Asset Tracking app.
The software runs on the STM32 microcontroller and includes all the necessary
drivers for the STEVAL-MKSBOX1V1 evaluation kit.

1 Detailed description
1.1 What can you do with STM32Cube function packs?
STM32Cube function packs leverage the modularity and interoperability of STM32 Nucleo and X-NUCLEO
boards together with STM32Cube and X-CUBE software to create function examples for some of the most
common use cases of different application technologies.
These software function packs are designed to exploit the underlying STM32 ODE hardware and software
components as much as possible to best satisfy the requirements of final user applications.
Moreover, function packs may include additional libraries and frameworks that are not present in the original X-
CUBE packages, thus enabling new functionalities allowing real and usable system for developers.
1.2 What is STM32Cube?
STM32Cube is a combination of a full set of PC software tools and embedded software blocks running on STM32
microcontrollers and microprocessors:
• STM32CubeMX configuration tool for any STM32 device; it generates initialization C code for Cortex-M
cores and the Linux device tree source for Cortex-A cores
• STM32CubeIDE integrated development environment based on open-source solutions like Eclipse or the
GNU C/C++ toolchain, including compilation reporting features and advanced debug features
• STM32CubeProgrammer programming tool that provides an easy-to-use and efficient environment for
reading, writing and verifying devices and external memories via a wide variety of available communication
media (JTAG, SWD, UART, USB DFU, I2C, SPI, CAN, etc.)
• STM32CubeMonitor family of tools (STM32CubeMonRF, STM32CubeMonUCPD, STM32CubeMonPwr) to
help developers customize their applications in real-time
• STM32Cube MCU and MPU packages specific to each STM32 series with drivers (HAL, low-layer, etc.),
middleware, and lots of example code used in a wide variety of real-world use cases
• STM32Cube expansion packages for application-oriented solutions
1.3 How does this function pack complement STM32Cube?
This software is based on the STM32CubeHAL. It extends STM32Cube by providing a board support package
(BSP) for the BLE, sensors and middleware components for communication with other BLE devices.
It also provides an application to demonstrate how to implement your own low power, BLE-controlled asset
tracking application using the SensorTile.box Pro Mode.
