STM32 LoRaWAN™ Discovery Board

STMicroelectronics B-L072Z-LRWAN1 STM32 LoRa Discovery Board is a development tool to learn and develop solutions based on LoRa and/or FSK/OOK technologies. This tool features an all-in-one open module solution (by Murata), which is the smallest and cheapest on the market, to address wide area network (LPWAN) wireless modules that support the LoRaWAN long range wireless protocol. The Discovery board comes with the certified embedded software (I-CUBE-LRWAN) to provide the means to set up a complete LoRaWAN node. The I-CUBE-LRWAN is LoRaWAN class A certified and sustains the Class C.

The Discovery board features Arduino connectors that could welcome a sensor extension board, an integrated debugger (ST-Link V3), a USB 2.0 FS device USB port, a battery pack slot (backside), an SMA connector as well a 50 ohm antenna. Because this module is open, users do not need an external MCU to run applications as both the application and the stack can be hosted on the STM32L0 internal Flash memory.
