stm32wb FUS footer has empty word between magic word and version

Hi.

I'm working on stm32wb for some time, handling CPU2 updates of BLE stack application.

Lately, version 1.23 was published with new FUS version, so I tried updating it with my application running on user flash. I searched for the magic word but I found something strange, empty word in the middle of the footer:

I compared it to previous version and it appear there also.

As described in AN5185, magic word is placed after FW version, so what am I missing?

Any help is welcome.

Thanks in advance.

I was missing a note in AN5185 page 26: "FUS V1.2.0 version is written in the binary as 0xFFFFFFFF to be able to upgrade from all versions of FUS", so the empty word is the version.

Thanks @Alan PORTE  for helping me.
