1. Introduction
The SensorTile is a new Internet of Things (IoT) system provided by STMicroelectronics
integrating state-of-the-art processor, wireless interfaces, and sensor systems. The SensorTile
can form the foundation for wearable consumer devices, wearable medical devices, residential
IoT systems and vehicle IoT systems.
The SensorTile system provides an exceptionally powerful and well-supported platform for
introduction to IoT technology. The SensorTile is remarkably compact as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1. The STMicroelectonics SensorTile Platform with a pencil reference indicating its
compact geometry.

The SensorTile includes these components:

a) The LSM6DSM combining microaccelerometer and microgyroscope.
b) The LSM303AGR combining microaccelerometer and magnetometer for compass
heading
c) The LPS22HB barometric pressure sensor for determination of altitude and atmospheric
pressure.
d) The MP34DT04 microphone
3) The SensorTile also includes a Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth Smart) wireless interface
the BlueNRG-MS system.
4) The SensorTile also includes non-volatile flash storage that stores the executable code that
enables IoT system operation.
5) The SensorTile also includes a cradle accessory with additional features including:
a) SD Card Flash Storage System
b) STC3115 Battery Monitor providing detailed energy monitoring for the SensorTile

2. Introduction to This Tutorial
This Tutorial introduces the development environment for the SensorTile system.
Development environments are essential to development of software for IoT systems and other
products. These provide support to developers for both creation of systems, testing,
debugging, and installation of software systems on platforms.
This development environment is referred to as an Integrated Development Environment (IDE).
This includes all software tools required to create a software distribution for the SensorTile,
compile this software system into the processor instruction set using a Build capability, execute
this system using a Debug capability, and create an “image” file that can be installed in the
SensorTile non-volatile storage.
This tutorial is intended for users that have Windows platforms, and will guide users through
the tasks listed below. Please note that there is a companion Tutorial for users that have
Apple Mac Platforms.
The Tutorial steps include:
1. Installing an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) on Window.
2. Obtaining reference design example project software. This will specifically include a
sensor Data Logging system.
3. Usage of the IDE to Import, Build, Run, Debug and Flash the SensorTile board to run the
example Data Logging project.
For more information regarding the SensorTile board, please open the following link on a web-
browser on your PC.

 6. Check your email inbox and spam folders for the email. Follow the link that you were
sent to download the example code. The email should resemble Figure .

Note: this link will not function if your web-browser is in “Incognito” or “Private” mode.

Figure 20: Email from STMicroelectronics containing weblink to enable access to download
example project.

7. Extract the contents of the archive. The default output folder name should be v1.2.0.
For consistency with this tutorial, please extract the archive into the Downloads
directory.

The full path of the directory should resemble the following.

“C:\Users\<USERNAME>\Downloads\en.stsw-stlkt01\v1.2.0”.

Note: if the path to the folder labelled v1.2.0 has a space in it, move it to a location
where the path does not contain any spaces.

The IDE will not be able to compile projects that have spaces in their paths.

Figure 21: Contents of folder "v1.2.0".

 5.2. Import
Follow the instructions below to import the example project into the System WorkBench IDE.
Note: while we call this System WorkBench, it will be listed as “Eclipse” on your desktop.

1. Open the System WorkBench application.

2. Use the default workspace directory, and click “Ok”. See Figure .

Note: Ensure that the workspace you select does not contain any spaces. If the path to the
workspace contains spaces, the IDE will not be able to compile the projects.

Figure 22: Selecting your workspace directory. It is recommended that you use the default
location. It will resemble the form “C:\Users\<USERNAME>\workspace”.

3. If you see a welcome screen, close it by clicking the “x” in the top left corner. See Figure .

Figure 23: Closing the welcome splash page.

4. Once you are on the main screen of System WorkBench, click “File > Import …” to begin
importing the project. See Figure .

7. DO NOT CLICK FINISH UNTIL YOU COMPLETELY READ THROUGH STEP 8.

There are three projects in the v1.2.0 folder. If you import more than one project at a time,
compilation will fail. This is because the three projects are dependent on other files in the
folder.

On the new popup window, enter the path to the folder v1.2.0 in the text field “Select root
directory”. DO NOT CLICK FINISH.

Figure 26: Selecting the folder where the existing project was extracted.

8. The projects box should be populated with 3 projects.

8.1. AudioLoop (DE-SELECT THIS).
8.2. BLE_SampleApp (DE-SELECT THIS).
8.3. DataLog (Keep this selected).

 Uncheck the boxes next to AudioLoop and BLE_SampleApp.

Figure 27: Only selecting one project from the existing files to import into the workspace.
If you have selected more than one project and clicked “Finish”, you will need to open your
workspace directory on the Finder application on your Windows and manually delete all of
the files.

Figure 28: Close-up image of text from Figure .

Click “Finish” with only one project selected.

3. If this file did not appear, ensure that none of the paths have a space in their names. If any
path has a space, it will cause the make command to fail.

If any path has a space in it, repeat all installation steps ensuring that the path no longer has
a space in it. Then, repeat step 1. If the binary file appears, skip to section 5.4 SensorTile
Hardware Platform.

4. Attempt to build the project using Eclipse’s internal builder. First, right-click the project,
then click “Properties”. Navigate to the subheading “C/C++ Build”, and change the value of
the field “Builder type” to be “Internal builder”. See Figure for more details.

Notice how there are two devices listed.

The device listed as “STLink Virtual COM port” is the Nucleo board.

The device highlighted in blue and listed as “STMicroelectronics Virtual COM Port” is the
SensorTile.

Note: The device will not be detected by the Device Manager until the program is running.
So ensure that you have performed step 6 if you do not see your device.

9. Inspect the data the SensorTile is sending over serial wireline USB connection opening
PuTTy and entering the information as shown in Figure . Make sure this command is edited
to suit the COM port of the device as it appears in your device manager. The output should
resemble Figure .
