Release Notes for X-CUBE-53L1A1

Software for STM32, Expansion for STM32Cube

Copyright 2018 STMicroelectronics

The X-CUBE-53L1A1 software package is an expansion for STM32Cube, associated with the
X-NUCLEO-53L1A1 expansion board for STM32. The source code of this package is based on STM32Cube to ease portability and code sharing across different STM32 MCU families. Implementation examples are available for the STM32 Nucleo Ranging expansion board (X-NUCLEO-53L1A1) plugged on top of two types of STM32 Nucleo development board (NUCLEO-F401RE or NUCLEO-L476RG).

X-CUBE-53L1A1 software features:

• Driver layer (VL53L1X API) for complete management of the VL53L1X ranging sensor integrated in the X-NUCLEO-53L1A1 expansion board.
• Easy portability across different MCU families thanks to STM32Cube.
• Compatible with any PC Virtual Com Port tool to display and log sensor data.
• Free, user-friendly license terms.
• One example code for single sensor ranging measurement (SimpleRangingExamples).
• One example code with multiple sensors ranging measurement (MulipleSensorsRanging).

The figure below shows the overall architecture.
