Description

1 Description

The B-L072Z-LRWAN1 LoRa®/Sigfox™ Discovery kit is a development tool to learn and develop solutions based
on LoRa®, Sigfox™, and FSK/OOK technologies. This Discovery kit features the all-in-one CMWX1ZZABZ-091
open module by Murata. The module is powered by an STM32L072CZ microcontroller and SX1276 transceiver.
The transceiver features the LoRa® long-range modem, providing ultra-long-range spread-spectrum
communication and high interference immunity, minimizing current consumption. Since CMWX1ZZABZ-091 is an
open module, the user has access to all STM32L072CZ peripherals such as ADC, 16-bit timer, LP-UART, I2C,
SPI, and USB 2.0 FS (supporting BCD and LPM).
The B-L072Z-LRWAN1 Discovery kit includes an ST-LINK/V2-1 embedded debug tool interface, LEDs, push-
buttons, antenna, Arduino™ Uno V3 connectors and USB OTG connector in Micro-B format.
The LoRaWAN™ stack supports Class A, Class B, and Class C. It is available in the I-CUBE-LRWAN firmware
package. Several examples, including an AT-command stack, are available to help users set up a complete
LoRaWAN™ node.
The Sigfox™ stack is RC1, RC2, RC3c, and RC4 compliant. It is available in the X-CUBE-SFOX Expansion
Package. Several examples, including an AT-command modem, are also available to help users set up a
complete Sigfox™ node.

2.1 Product marking

Evaluation tools marked as “ES” or “E” are not yet qualified and therefore not ready to be used as reference
design or in production. Any consequences deriving from such usage will not be at ST charge. In no event, ST will
be liable for any customer usage of these engineering sample tools as reference design or in production.
“E” or “ES” marking examples of location:
• On the targeted STM32 that is soldered on the board (for illustration of STM32 marking, refer to the STM32
datasheet “Package information” paragraph at the [Link] website).
• Next to the evaluation tool ordering part number that is stuck or silk-screen printed on the board.

2.2 Codification

The meaning of the codification is explained in Table 2.
