Hi!

I am working in a project and we need to use one BLE chip.

I found the chips from ST (BlueNRG1-2) but I can't find good information about:

- Can these chips be used as principal MCU and like BLE device at the same time, I mean use its BLE characteristics and communicate with an external MCU vía I2C/SPI?

- Can these chips be programmed using some IDE like Eclipse/Keil or using the software STM32CubeMX/SW4STM32 from ST? In case of YES, can you give me some tips/tutorial?

Thank you !!

    Hi Alex,

    Sure, the embedded MCU is exactly for users to run various of applications including BLE.

    Please download SDK from 

    http://www.st.com/content/st_com/en/products/embedded-software/evaluation-tool-software/stsw-bluenrg1-dk.html

    By default it provides projects for IAR EWARM, Keil uVision, and Atollic TrueStudio.

    After the DK is installed, please try to start with BlueNRG-1/2 Navigator (There will be 2 shortcuts of Navigators for both BlueNRG-1 and BlueNRG-2 in start menu).

    It is possible to flash BlueNRG-1/2 EVB and run the demo applications with the Navigator.

     will be a good start.

    Please refer to the ST web resources:

    Thank you Winfred!

    Do yo have idea if ST will implement BlueNRG programming via STMCubeMX?

    Hi Alex,

    Sorry. I have no comments about supporting BlueNRG family in STMCubeMX.

    Thank you.
