How to install X-CUBE-NFC6 software expansion package for STM32Cube ?

[LMend.1]

(EDIT: Already responded on X-CUBE-NFC6 not a valid X-CUBE-Expansion and missing files from wmmcmj by Markus GIRDLAND (ST Employee))

I have been unable to install X-CUBE-NFC6 software expansion package for STM32Cube. I have two installations of STM32CubeIDE running in two PCs; both running version 1.8.0 of the IDE. None of them install the mentioned package.

When clicking “Open�? in the ST Package Selection File window from the Embedded Software Packages Manager, the message: “This file is either corrupted or not a recognized package . . . “, appears.

I have downloaded the file en.X-CUBE-NFC6_v1.1.0.zip several times already but no success on installation yet.

(I would like to test the X-NUCLEO-NFC06A1 board with a NUCLEO-F746ZG board).

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

X-CUBE-NFC6 is a firmware package that contains ready to compile demos for various MCU such as STM32L76RG. In its current version, it is not designed to be used directly in STM32CubeMX but as a standalone package.

If you want to use a NUCLEO-F746ZG as host MCU, I would recommend to define the various GPIOs and the SPI thanks to STM32CubeMX. You can have a look to the attached ioc file to retrieve the configuration for the SPI, IRQ, etc. Then you will have to integrate the various sources of the X-CUBE-NFC6 into the generated project.

Also I would recommend to use the STSW-ST25R-LIB firmware package: it contains new demos and an updated NFC communication stack (RFAL) compared to X-CUBE-NFC6

Thanks Brian.

I assume that the STSW-ST25R-LIB firmware package is also a standalone set, correct?

Yes,  STSW-ST25R-LIB is also a standalone firmware package
