Could not update FUS at STM32WB55CG chip in my custom board

[Kyuns.2]

Hi,

​

I'm using a custom board with STM32WB55CG. When I uploaded my custom BLE program with STM32IDE, the program could not work. Then I found the chip had an error with FUS and wireless stack. When I read the FUS info, the fus version was v1.1.1.0 and the stack version was v0.0.0.0. ​

When I push the Start Wireless Stack button, the error with FUS_STATE_IMG_NOT_FOUND was occurred.

​

Then I tried to upgrade FUS with stm32wb5x_BLE_Stack_full_extended_fw.bin(Release v1.13.3) and encountered with the problems. I tried the upgrade with cubeProgrammer v2.10.0, v2.9.0, and v2.8.0, and it returned the same results.

​

Also, I found some strange things at option bytes. The SNBRSA and SBRSA have different values and addresses from NUCLEO55USB-DONGLE. Here is the picture.

​​Any suggestions to fix this issue ?​

[Sean Park]

First, the FUS version is checked as v1.1.1.0.

​

....\STM32Cube_FW_WB_V1.13.3/Projects/STM32WB_Copro_Wireless_Binaries/STM32WB5x/Release_Notes.html

​

As you can see from the article above...

​

......

• STEP 4: Read and upgrade FUS Version
• it can been obtained selecting “Read FUS infos�?
  • 00050300: FUSv0.5.3 => Must be updated using STEP 5.
    • 01020000: FUSv1.2.0 => Up to date, you can download the new wireless stack using STEP 7.
  • 010X0Y00: FUSv1.x.y => Must be updated using STEP 6 (when x < 2).

......

• STEP 6: Download latest FUS or Safeboot
  • in Firmware Upgrade Service: (File Path: [FUS_Binary], Start Address: [Install@])
  • then select “Firmware Upgrade�? Please check Firmware Upgrade Services Binary Table for Install@ parameter depending of the binary.

......​

You have to first update to the latest version of FUS.

Perhaps there will be no problem if you proceed again after upgrading to FUSv1.2.0.

I tried update step by step as the release note. It gave same error.

After and before the upgrade the fus infos was as following picture.

[Sean Park]

From the log, it seems that StartFus is not activated.

1) WB board connection

2) RDP BB (Level1) Apply -> AA (Level0 ) Apply from OB in STM32CubeProg

After that, try the upgrade again in order.

 And it seems that it is necessary to check the status of the BOOT0 pin in terms of H/W.

[Kyuns.2]

I followed your advice and upgraded FUS to v1.2.0 successfully.

However, when I tried to upgrade BLE stack, the following error was occured.

Hello,

You can look this wiki page which describe how to update the FUS and the BLE stack. If your issue isn't resolved, please describe your procedure to update the BLE stack.

Best Regards
