Hardware
- BLACK-PILL-HUB - Test Station Processing element
- STM32 Black Pill - CPU card
- Preferred choice due to nearly unlimited resources
- Previous CPU choices
- BLUE-PILL-HUB
- FTDI card required
- NANO-BKOUT
- BLUE-PILL-HUB
- STM32 Black Pill - CPU card
- DIGIO32-I2C - 32-bits of Digital I/O for testing some cards
- LED-32 - 32 LEDS for bounce across LEDs tests
- DB37RIBBON - DB-37 Male to right angle Ribbon cable header
- DB-37 plugs into Test Station DIGIO32-I2C
- Some UUT cards use a second DB37RIBBON card
- DB25RIBBON - DB-25 Male or Female to Ribbon cable
- Some UUT cards have DB-25 connectors
- UUT cable sets
- Connect to DB37RIBBON, DB25RIBBON, or LED-32 cards in Test Station
- PC running PuTTY
- 9600 baud

DIGIO32-I2C
Personality EEPROM
- Tests cards without personality EEPROM
- Tests cards with personality EEPROM
- Personality EEPROM follows Raspberry Pi Hat EEPROM format
- Test station writes EEPROM
- Test station uses EEPROM contents (if present) to determine which test to run
Example Personality EEPROM - DIGIO-128
Reading EEPROM Family=ODAS Company=land-boards.com Product=DIGIO-128
Black Pill Setup
Resources
- Plenty of resources
- EEPROM - 524288 bytes
- SRAM - 131072 bytes
Sketch uses 50316 bytes (9%) of program storage space. Maximum is 524288 bytes. Global variables use 3828 bytes (2%) of dynamic memory, leaving 127244 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 131072 bytes.
Programming
Programming Setup
- Steps from Programming|Program STM32 Black Pill (STM32F401 / F411) with Arduino IDE (Windows OS)
- Add the URL to Additional Board Manager URLs text box:
- Go to Tools > Board > Boards Manager
- Search for STM32, select latest version and click Install.
- Download and install STM32CubeProg from ST.com: [1]
DFU Programming
- Start the STM32CubeProg
- From the Tools > Board > STM32 Board, select Generic STM32F4 series
- Select Tools > Board Part Number > BlackPill F411CE
- Under USB Support, select CDC (generic "Serial" supersede U(S)ART)
- Under Upload method, select SMT32CubeProgrammer(DFU)
- Use the onboard BOOT0 and NRST button to put the board into bootloader mode:
- press and hold the BOOT0 button
- press and release NRST (reset) button to power cycle the processor
- alternate is to press the Reset button on the BLACK-PILL-HUB card
- release BOOT0 button
- Sometimes removing the USB cable and plugging it back in while pressing BOOT0 button works better
- Upload sketch
- Displays in IDE

Useful Arduino Code
Here's some useful pieces of Arduino code
Wait for Host Serial to Connect
Serial.begin(9600); while (!Serial); // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for native USB
uint8_t checkI2CAddr(uint8_t addr)
Check if there is an I2C device at an address
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // uint8_t checkI2CAddr(uint8_t addr) - Check that an I2C device is present // Pass: addr - I2C address // Returns: // 0 : success // 1 : data too long to fit in transmit buffer // 2 : received NACK on transmit of address // 3 : received NACK on transmit of data // 4 : other error //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// uint8_t checkI2CAddr(uint8_t addr) { Wire.beginTransmission(addr); return (Wire.endTransmission()); }
uint8_t checkIfMCP23017(uint8_t addr)
Check if an I2C device is an MCP23017 at an address
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // uint8_t checkIfMCP23017(uint8_t addr) // Check to see if the I2C part is a MCP23017 // The GPU Pullup A register (internal register address 0x0c) is present // in a MCP23017 but not in a MCP23008. // Pass: addr - I2C address // Returns // 0 : Not an MCP23017 // 1 : Likely an MCP23017 //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// uint8_t checkIfMCP23017(uint8_t addr) { // Write 0x55 to MCP23017_GPPUA (0x0c) Wire.beginTransmission(addr); Wire.write(0x0c); Wire.write(0x55); Wire.endTransmission(1); // Read back Wire.beginTransmission(addr); Wire.write(0x0c); Wire.endTransmission(); Wire.requestFrom(addr, 1); if (Wire.read() == 0x55) { Serial.println(F("Detected MCP23017")); return 1; } else { Serial.println(F("Detected MCP23008")); return 0; } }
