STM32WB FUOTA issue with custom Application FW
Hello Geeks...
Hope all are doing well
Recently, I'm working on STM32WB FUOTA
I know the FUOTA terminology of the STM32WB through the application document AN5247
Moreover, I have gone through the YouTube Tutorial series of the FUOTA for WB series
I'm trying to update my application over FUOTA but, some how it's verification always fails and it's rollover to BLE OTA loader app!
here are the steps which I'm following
- Updated the linker script as per the "BLE_HeartRate_ota" example
- commented SCB->VTOR from system_stm32wbxx.c file
- BLE_CFG_OTA_REBOOT_CHAR set to 1 in ble_conf.h
- Added the OTA reboot characteristic (which is working well, and MCU able to reboot during the OTA request)
- Flashed "BLE_Ota" Firmware starting from 0x08000000 flash memory location
- Flashed the main application Firmware with OTA enable char. starting from 0x08007000 flash memory location
- Verified the MagicKeywordAddress address 0x08007140
Problem statements & Test procedure
1. Application firmware seems working well and I can pair the BLE device with STBLE app
2. I can send the OTA reboot request from the STBLE app, and MCU also reboot from the application code
3. However the main issue is, "STM_OTA" ble unable to advertise!
4. After power reboot, it's advertising as a "STM_OTA"
5.when I'm trying to send the application bin from 0x7000 then it's downloading from the app seamless
6.However the main issue is, it's always rollback to OTA loader and advertise as "STM_OTA"!!
For the reference, here I have attached the linker script, Memory region & memory details screenshot
I'm using the Wireless FW version: 1.13.2 and FUS version: 1.2.0
