USI STM32 Nucleo expansion board for LoRa

Hi,

Bought the STM32 Nucleo kit w. USI Lora shield.

Disappointed when I found out that the documentation wasn't that great.

When using AT_Master or the End_Node example I dont find any options for retrieving the debug data.... Is the only option I have to spy on the TX/RX on the shield itself?

Or is it possible to retrieve the debug messages that is already in the examples?

BR,

Sindre

    The USI module is a third-party implementation, with closed source.

    An SWD header can be fitted, and the firmware can be replaced with relatively little porting effort. You can program/debug via an external ST-LINK attached to the header.

    Not sure the USI module provides any additional diagnostic/debug information, review their data sheets and manuals.

    For a richer experience I'd recommend the Discovery Board with the Murata module. It has a larger FLASH memory, and a newer radio chip, and would allow you to add as much diagnostic and telemetry as you need. Can support several UART and I2C

    Wow @Community member​ ,

    Fast answer :)

    Ok, yeah I was ordering the wrong kit.

    For some reason I believed that my order was with the MBed Lora shield not the USI one...

    **** happens.

    Thank you
