## Supported serial baud rates

| Baud Rate | Notes
--- | --- | ---
BlueNRG-1 development platform | 115200 | UART serial channel
BlueNRG, BlueNRG-MS STEVAL-IDB00XV1 platforms | Not Applicable | USB virtual COM channel
NUCLEO-L152RE platform + BlueNRG, BlueNRG-MS Nucleo board | 115200 | UART serial channel

- The serial baud rate can be set as follow:
  1. BlueNRG GUI PC application: Menu Setting, Set Baud Rate ... option
  2. BlueNRG Script Launcher PC utility: use -b option

# Solved Issues, Changes

- Missing support for BlueNRG-1 SPI Network coprocessor mode on BlueNRG script Launcher (ID 2139).
- If DTM UART is selected with BlueNRG GUI on a BlueNRG-1 configured SPI board, the board does not respond anymore and a HW reset is necessary (ID 2145).
- BlueNRG GUI 2.1.0 returns "No device detected" when using Nucleo L152RE + BlueNRG-MS module (ID 2373).
