Product overview
Description
X-CUBE-ALIRO is a software package that provides a reference implementation framework of Aliro technology on compatible STM32 microcontrollers.
It allows fast prototyping of Aliro reader devices using ST development platforms and comes preintegrated with Aliro support, already certified with default features. Refer to ST Aliro web page for the supported STM32 platforms.
X-CUBE-ALIRO supports multiple communication flows, including NFC only and BLE remote keyless entry (RKE) modes, as well as BLE-based integration with ultra-wideband (UWB) technology. This flexibility allows developers to tailor their solutions to various use cases and device capabilities.
The software package implements all Aliro transaction types, such as expedited standard and fast transactions, which can operate with or without certificate support. Additionally, step-up transaction allows the use of access and revocation documents, enabling the user to handle advanced access control scenarios, using the data elements in the access decision.
X-CUBE-ALIRO also comes with a preintegrated Bluetooth® LE stack and NFC Forum Type A drivers, streamlining development and reducing integration effort. This ensures compatibility with industry standards and accelerates time-to-market for Aliro-enabled applications.
X-CUBE-ALIRO is compliant with the CSA Aliro specification, ensuring that it meets the technical and interoperability requirements defined by the standard. This compliance allows reliable performance and secure communication across certified devices.
X-CUBE-ALIRO helps to pass the tests against the CSA certification tool.
X-CUBE-ALIRO has been validated for interoperability with major smartphone brands, making it compatible with a wide range of user devices commonly available on the market.
This package is not intended to be directly reused as is in products and requires integration work by the user especially concerning configuration, provisioning, storage management, secure initialization of RTC. These aspects are tightly linked to the applicative part of an Aliro device.
Prior to integration in commercial applications, please check debug features to be disabled.
