Where can I find downloadable firmware files for b-g431b-esc1?

[SHong.8]

The firmware file doesn't seem to exist here (https://www.st.com/en/evaluation-tools/b-g431b-esc1.html).

Are there any hex or bin binary firmware files built for b-g431b-esc1?

If the firmware file exists, it would be appreciated if you could tell me where it is.

Welcome, @SHong.8​, to the community!

in the associated UM2516, the following can be found in section 3.3:

This board is supported by the X-CUBE-MCSDK STM32Cube Expansion Package dedicated for motor-control applications. The source code is available and it is included and generated with this tool. The B-G431B-ESC1 does not have a demonstration firmware preloaded in the STM32 Flash memory, so for the first usage, the user must connect it with the X-CUBE-MCSDK tool.

Does it answer your question?

I am new to B-G431B-ESC1 board.

I want to check the operation of BLDC motor using potentiometer.

I downloaded and installed X-CUBE-MCSDK.

MC_SDK_5.4.8\Projects\B-G431B-ESC1\Demonstration\Potentiometer_ESC-G4

There seems to be an example in this directory, but only the '.project' file exists.

I downloaded and installed X-CUBE-MCSDK-6, but there is no Projects directory in the MC_SDK_6.0.0 subdirectory.

Then, if I import and build the '.project' file in the Potentiometer_ESC-G4 directory and download it to this board, is it possible to use it?

Unfortunately, there is still a problem with the current software packages, which has already been discussed here. There you'll find a ZIP that contains the missing projects ElectronicSpeedControl_ESC-G4 and Potentiometer_ESC-G4. Please try to integrate the projects into your local installation of X-Cube-MCSDK. It is intended for 5.Y.4, but should fit for 5.4.8 as well.

Good luck!

Regards

Peter, having bought several of the B-G431B-ESC1 evaluation boards and downloaded all the latest software (Cube IDE, CubeMX, stm32CubeG4, SDK) so we can evaluate your drive control MCU's, I am very surprised and disappointed to find not only no preloaded firmware, but no example source code for the board. Several of the ST Employee respondents say they have built the software OK (but V6 SDK has no example) and it runs fine. Would these staff members please be so kind as to put their source code where their pens are, and upload a full working project please. Please don't underestimate the direct affect this has on sale of you products. Nothing builds confidence like a working demonstration. Project engineers can show this up the chain and influence people. With companies like TI having ready to go eval boards and full project firmware, I'm surprised you are taking this gamble.Please, save us weeks of learning curve and give us a known working example project for this lovely little eval board. Thank you.
