Help needed – Firmware choice for STM32 BLE demo with X-NUCLEO-WB05KN1

Hello,

I'm working with the X-NUCLEO-WB05KN1 shield connected to a STM32 Nucleo board.
My goal is to build a simple demo:

  • Toggle an LED from a smartphone command

  • Send a notification to the smartphone when the User button is pressed.

I would like to use STM32 BLE Toolbox as the smartphone application.
Which firmware binary should I flash on the WB05 shield to ensure compatibility with STM32 BLE Toolbox?

From what I’ve read, the BLE_TransparentMode_UART_with_Updater.hex firmware from X-CUBE-WB5N V2.0.0 seems suitable — can you confirm this, and indicate the exact file to flash?

I can also flash : 

- BLE_TransparentMode_UART_for_Updater.bin

- BLE_TransparentMode_UART_for_Updater_C_O.bin and BLE_TransparentMode_UART_with_Updater_C_O.hex

- DTM_UART_WITH_UPDATER.bin and DTM_UART_WITH_UPDATER.hex

- DTM_UART_WITH_UPDATER_CONTROLLER.bin and DTM_UART_WITH_UPDATER_CONTROLLER.hex

 

Thanks in advance for your support!

Best regards,

Sheul

Hello sheulisback,

your demo can be built on an SampleApp example, which creates the central/peripheral relationship between board and smartphone.

Speaking of firmware, both BLE_TransparentMode_UART_with_Updater.hex and BLE_TransparentMode_UART_with_Updater.hex are suitable for communication with ST BLE ToolBox.
