CubeMonitor-RF com port is not able to connect

[YJ99]

Hi Community,

 

I tried to connect and use 802.15.4 sniffer function from CubeMonitor-RF app. I stopped at the very first step. Once I opened the CubeMonitor-RF program, it said I need to install wireshark, after install the wireshark, the warning message is not changed. What should I do? Also I know how to install the binary stm32wb5x_Mac_802_15_4_fw.bin into the M0 core, however, how I can install the binary Mac_802_15_4_Sniffer.bin? There is no information about the start address for this binary. Do we have to use FUS to install this binary? When I tried to this install with FUS, it failed.

How I install the "pyserial?" I am lost how to do this. 

 

Thanks in advance,

YJ

Hello @YJ99 

I think that you should take a look at the UM2288.

For the Pyserial, you will find on the Internet a lot of tutorials on how to install it.

Hi STTwo-32,

 

The document said " connect the STM32WBx5 Nucleo board to the host computer using the USB_USER connector." There are two micro-USB port and one is STLink port the other one is USER-USB port. Is the statement saying I have to connect to the USER-USB u-USB port. If I do, there is nothing happened.

 

Is it right we need to connect USER-USB not STLink-USB to use Sniffer?

 

Thanks,

YJ

Hello @YJ99,

Regarding the issue with your software installation, could you please confirm if the Wireshark executable file has been added to your system's environment variable path ?

Best regards,

Hi @VictorD 

 

thanks for the information. Yes, I added the path of wireshart.exe to the system variable path and my variable path in environment setting. Now the Wireshark is turned back to black color. I still have two missing pieces. 

One is the No sniffer device found. I did install the stm32wb5x_Mac_802_15_4_fw.bin into the P-Nucleo-WB55 board with FUS by CubeProgrammer with correct start address. It was successful. The other bin file, Mac_802_15_4_Sniffer.bin with start address 0x08000000 at Erasing and Programming in CubeProgrammer. It was done quickly.

The other one is about the file copying. I did as it specified, but it is sill red color. I don't know what to do.

Is there a way to find out why this happens?

 

thanks in advance,

YJ

Hello @YJ99,

Regarding the file copying issue, this is not a problem. The indicator remains red even when everything is operational.

Here is the step-by-step method I used to program the WB:

• Initially, you should use the ST-Link USB port.
• Connect the board to CubeProgrammer, then perform a full chip erase.
• Navigate to the FUS section and start FUS.
• Proceed with the firmware upgrade using the M0 file (this should automatically switch the address to 0x080E1000).
• Ensure that 'verify download/start after upgrade' is checked.
• Start FUS again.
• Perform the firmware upgrade for the M4 file (you will need to change the address to 0x08000000).
• Make sure 'verify download/start after upgrade' is checked.
• An error may occur, stating "Error: FUS_STATE_ERR_UNKNOWN: unknown error."
• Disconnect the board.
• Switch the micro-USB from ST-Link to USB_USER.
• Move JP1 from USB STL to USB MCU.

 

This process was completed using version 2.16.0 of CubeProgrammer, binary files from WB cubefw 1.19 and CubeMonitor RF v2.14.
