Microvisor is in a pre-release phase and the information contained in this document is subject to change. Some features referenced below may not be fully available until Microvisor's General Availability (GA) release.
The Nucleo Development Board (NDB) incorporates a Quectel EG-21G cellular modem, and ESP32 WiFi/BLE module, and an Ethernet jack. WiFi and Ethernet can be used by the NDB to connect to the Internet in place of the cellular modem. This takes place automatically at power on:
When it is re-booted, Microvisor will attempt to connect to the Internet in this order:
Microvisor currently supports only Super SIM for cellular connectivity. We expect to enable support for other SIMs in a future release.
As soon as a connection is made, no other devices are used. For example, if Ethernet is not connected, Microvisor will attempt to connect by WiFi. If it succeeds, it will not attempt to connect by cellular.
To configure your NDB's WiFi credentials, follow these steps. They assume you have the Twilio CLI and its Microvisor plugin installed. This can be done on Ubuntu Linux, Windows 10/11, and macOS natively. If you are running Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), you will not be able to connect to Linux serial ports, so we recommend following these instructions under your native OS.
On Linux, you will need to perform these commands as root or as a member of the group dialout
. To add a user to that group, open a terminal and run:
sudo usermod -a -G dialout <username>
The NDB's SYSTEM LED will turn solid blue, and no application code will be run:
Open a terminal or shell and run:
twilio microvisor:wificonfig:ports
This will give you a list of serial ports. You will likely see /dev/ttyUSB0
or /dev/ttyACM0
on Linux, /dev/cu.usbmodem
on macOS, or COMx
on Windows, depending on your hardware. Make a note of this.
To set your WiFi credentials run the following command, substituting your own values for the placeholders:
twilio microvisor:wificonfig:set '<YOUR_SSID>' '<YOUR_PASSPHRASE>' <YOUR_PORT>
You can check the saved credentials with:
twilio microvisor:wificonfig:get <YOUR_PORT>
Note that this will display your SSID in the terminal.
