FP-NET-6LPETH1

FP-NET-6LPETH1 Software Description

FP-NET-6LPETH1 is an STM32 ODE function pack. Thanks to this

package you can connect your IoT node inside a 6LoWPAN

Wireless Sensors Network to the Internet, through an Ethernet

network, leveraging IP64/NAT64 technology. A sample application is

provided to access the resources (e.g. sensors or actuators) on the

6LoWPAN nodes by the means of a IoT Application protocol like, for

example, the OMA Lightweight M2M protocol.

Key features

• Complete firmware to connect 6LoWPAN and Ethernet networks

• Middleware libraries to support Contiki OS and Contiki 6LoWPAN

protocol stack 3.x

• Support for mesh networking technology via the standard RPL

protocol

• Sample implementations available for X-NUCLEO-IDS01A4 or X-

NUCLEO-IDS01A5 boards connected to a NUCLEO-F429ZI

board

• Easy portability across different MCU families, thanks to

STM32Cube

• Free, user-friendly license terms

HW prerequisites (2/2)

Important note: two hardware modifications are required on both the NUCLEO-F429ZI and

the X-NUCLEO-IDS01Ax expansion board• These are needed in order to avoid resource usage conflicts between the two boards

• On NUCLEO-F429ZI the 0-Ohm resistance located at position SB121 must be moved to the position

SB122 (bottom side of the board, see picture 1)

• On X-NUCLEO-IDS01Ax the 0-Ohm resistance located at position R4 must be moved to the position R7

(upper side of the board, see picture 2)

Ethernet (auto)-Configuration

• At boot time, some parameters about

SPIRIT1 radio and Contiki

configuration are printed. They are not

all shown in this slide, please note in

particular the last three of them that

affect the IP64Router behavior. Most

important, we are assuming auto-

configuration via DHCPv4 protocol is

enabled (IP64_DHCP parameter).

• If the Router/AP the NUCLEO-F429ZI

is attached to provides the DHCPv4

server functionality, the IP64Router

application retrieves Ethernet

parameters via auto-configuration.

After this step the application is

running.

• By pressing the (Blue) User Button at

any time, the IPv4 address and

netmask associated to the embedded

Ethernet interface will be printed on

the console.

• IoT nodes leveraging a 6LoWPAN network over the SPIRIT1 radio

can now be connected to the Internet/Cloud services by means of

the IP64Router. An out-of-the box example using OMA-LWM2M

protocol is available in the FP-SNS-6LPNODE1 software package,

please refer to its documentation for additional information.
