Nucleo-U5A5ZJ-Q Mongoose Integration

This guide explains how to bring up a production-grade Web UI dashboard on the Nucleo-U5A5ZJ-Q board with the X-NUCLEO-67W61M1 Wi-Fi expansion board for STM32 Nucleo boards, based on the ST67W611M1 Wi-Fi module.

A pre-configured, ready-to-run project zip is available for download at https://mongoose.ws.

To integrate the Web UI dashboard into an existing CubeMX project, or to create a new project from scratch:

  1. Configure the peripherals (described below).
  2. Regenerate your project code and integrate Mongoose core by following https://mongoose.ws/docs/guides/stm32-tcpip-stack/.
  3. Add the Web UI dashboard by following https://mongoose.ws/docs/guides/web-dashboard-guide/.

Note: to setup your WiFi login credentials, open the wifi.c file located in the Mongoose directory and edit the WIFI_NAME and WIFI_PASS macros.

Configure peripherals

An .ioc file is included in this directory for your reference. It was created using the following steps:

  • Open CubeMX. If you are starting a new project, select the STM32U5A5ZJT6Q microcontroller and create a new project.
  • In Clock Configuration, set the maximum clock frequency to 160 MHz.
  • In Pinout & Configuration / Connectivity, enable USART1 in asynchronous mode. Configure pins PA9 and PA10 for USART.

Wi-Fi module firmware setup

Before running this project, the correct firmware must be flashed onto the Wi-Fi board.

Steps:

  1. Install the X-CUBE-ST67W61 package.

    Open STM32CubeMX, then navigate to: Help -> Manage embedded software packages.

    In the STMicroelectronics tab, locate X-CUBE-ST67W61. Select the latest version and click Install.

  2. Connect the X-NUCLEO-67W61M1 board to the Nucleo-U5A5ZJ-Q board using the Arduino connectors CN7, CN8, CN9 and CN10.

    See Figure 5 in the Wi-Fi board user manual for the connector layout.

  3. Program the firmware to the ST67W61 module.

    Connect the Nucleo board to your PC using a USB cable.

    Navigate to the STM32Cube repository directory. The installed package is located at:

    Packs/STMicroelectronics/X-CUBE-ST67W61/<version>/

    Then navigate to:

    <version>/Projects/ST67W6X_Utilities/Binaries

    Run the appropriate script depending on your operating system:

    • NCP_update_mission_profile_t02.sh (Linux)
    • NCP_update_mission_profile_t02.bat (Windows)

    Ensure that STM32CubeProgrammer is installed and available in your system PATH.

    For more details on the programming process, see Section 4.3 and Table 2 of the Wi-Fi board user manual.
