STM32 Nucleo: access SD cards with C standard library

The ST Nucleo is an Arduino-like board with an STM32 as the microcontroller, and many Arduino shields can be mounted on it. I recently played with an Ethernet shield for the network connection, but since the shield also contains a microSD card slot, I wanted to access the SD card to read/write … Continue reading →

HTTPS client on STM32 Nucleo-F411RE

One of my goal of the past months was to use an STM32 Nucleo board to get a webpage through HTTPS, using an Ethernet shield for TCP/IP stack. I was close last time, but I discovered that my Nucleo-F103RB did not have enough RAM. Now I have my hands on a Nucleo-F411RE that has 128KiB of RAM and … Continue reading →

STM32 NUCLEO-F103RB has low resources for TLS 1.2

It's been months since I started playing with a STM32 Nucleo + Ethernet shield. One of the objectives that I chase is to build a device for the Internet of Things that implement reasonably secure communications. In an effort to avoid reinventing the wheel (or at least to not reinvent too many … Continue reading →

DNS client on STM32 Nucleo and W5100

I am still working on a device consisting of STM32 Nucleo F103RB with a W5100 Ethernet shield. This time I included a DNS client, so that the device can connect to a server by knowing its name. The name resolving can be invoked by using the POSIX functions getaddrinfo and gethostbyname. DNS … Continue reading →

DHCP client on STM32 Nucleo and W5100

I am still working on a device consisting of STM32 Nucleo F103RB with a W5100 Ethernet shield. This time I included a DHCP client, so that when the device is attached to a network, it will ask for an IP address instead of being statically allocated. The DHCP protocol follows the RFC 2131 and … Continue reading →
