STEVAL-ASTRA1B Overview

Multi-connectivity with sensors and GNSS platform

for indoor and outdoor asset tracking

The ASTRA platform (STEVAL-ASTRA1B) is a development kit and

reference design that simplifies prototyping, testing and evaluating

advanced asset tracking applications such as livestock monitoring, fleet

management, and logistics.

Thanks to its modular and optimized design, it simplifies the

development of tracking and monitoring innovative solutions.

The STEVAL-ASTRA1B is built around the STM32WB5MMG module

and the STM32WL55JC SoC for short and long range connectivity (BLE,

LoRa, and 2.4 GHz and sub 1-GHz proprietary protocols). ST25DV64K

for NFC connectivity is also available. The on-board STSAFE-A110

enhances security features.

The kit embeds a complete set of environmental and motion sensors

(LIS2DTW12,LSM6DSO32X, HTS221, STTS22H, LPS22HH). Moreover,

the TESEO-LIV3F GNSS module provides outdoor positioning.

The power management, built around ST1PS02 and STBC03,is

optimized for long battery life.

FP-ATR-ASTRA 1 Software Description

The FP-ATR-ASTRA1 implements a complete asset tracking application that supports long

range connectivity and short-range connectivity. This application reads the data from

environmental and motion sensors, retrieves the geo-position from GNSS and sends them to

the cloud. The FP-ATR-ASTRA1 package supports low-power profiles and the related

transitions to ensure long battery autonomy. Moreover, it provides key features such as secure

element management, data storing, the possibility to add custom algorithms, debugging

interfaces, and expansion capability. The firmware is available as a standard source code .zip

Key features

•Complete asset tracking firmware application to manage long range connectivity (LoRaWAN) and

short-range connectivity (BLE and NFC)

•Environmental and motion sensor management to monitor asset status

•Outdoor localization and geo-fencing based on a GNSS NMEA string

•Secure element personalization and certificate retrieving

•Power/battery management with low-power operating modes

•Flexible state machine to support different use cases

•Predefined customizable use cases: Fleet management, Livestock monitoring, Goods monitoring,

Logistics, Custom

•Fully integrated in an end-to-end, proof-of-concept ecosystem, which includes:

•the DSH-ASSETRACKING web cloud dashboard

•the STAssetTracking mobile app available on Google Play and App Store

Board Programming

1) Connect the expansion board to bottom side of main and tighten

the screws.

2) Check the three-pins jumper selection according to the

microcontroller to be programmed, as described in UM 2966

table 5

3) Connect the STLINK-V3MINI to the expansion connector by

means of the STDC14 flat cable.

4) Supply the programmer by means of a USB Type-A to Micro-B

cable between the STLINK-V3MINI and the PC and check that

the PWR LED is green, and the COM LED is red.

5) Connect a charged battery to the main board or use a USB Type-

C cable connected to the expansion board to supply the boards.

6) If a battery is used, push the power button to power on the

system.

7) Open the development toolchain or STM32CubeProgrammer to

proceed with programming

STEVAL-ASTRA1B is provided with 1 RBG user LED and two user buttons:

•power/side button

•frontal button

RGB LED behaviors meaning :

•blue if the configuration is ongoing;

•red if send is ongoing;

•green:

•with slow blinking if the BLE is not connected;

•with fast blinking if the BLE is connected;

•yellow if the BLE is connected and sending.

Frontal button:

•short press: trigger an asynchronous LoRa send data

•long press: system shutdown

Power/side button:

•short press: change status low power to run (or vice versa)

•long press: system reboot
