ST87M01 Documentation

[AndreasC]

Hello everyone, I find your new product, the ST87M01-1301, an interesting alternative to Nordic or Simcom. However, I haven't found any hardware design guides for the module yet. Could you please provide some? A schematic would be really helpful, showing how to wire the pins and connect the SIM card, antennas, etc. What is the maximum current draw of the module? If you have any battery management products, how can they be used together (for example: BMS + STM-Host MCU + ST87M01 – an example schematic would be great) so that people can use your specifications as a guide and build their own prototypes with your modules. I really like how Simcom handles their documentation; you could certainly learn from their example. Currently, your documentation for the module is a bit chaotic and incomplete, as if it were done by an intern.

 

Many greetings,

Dear AndreasC,

Thank you for your advises, let me explain you how you can find the more recent documentation.

The Mass Market evaluation kit is the EVKITST87M01-2 : at this link, in the "CAD" menu, you can find the HW items (schematics, BOM, gerbers).

For the complete documentation, including the design guide with figures about power supplies and consumption, you must install the GUI (STSW-ST87MGUI :( at installation, it will create a folder containing numerous Application Notes. If you face difficulties to find this folder, you can access it via the "Help" menu in the GUI.

As you know, we have a multitude of different STM32 families, it is difficult to propose reference schematics based on one selected version.

Best regards,

Didier
