STM32wb15 is not advertising

[rbenv.3]

I have 20 prototype custom boards, using STM32WB15CCU6E.

Some of them advertise, some no (about 50%).

If I program HeartRate binary, all advertise.

Based on a clean project, I just added 1 service with 2 characteristics.

Stack 1.15.0

The log generated by the BLE is always the same, generating or not advertisings, and

seems ok to me.

Hello,

Are you able to attach the debugger when the board doesn't advertise? Did you perform HSE trimming on your custom board? Is it always the same board that didn't advertise?

Best Regards

Hello :

Yes, the debugger runs and also my aplication runs (serial port communicates).

Not advertising.

HSE trimming : replaced the crystal between boards, same resuult of no advertising.

Tried to write some values into HSE trimming register, no result.

Tried some projects, some boards advertise (70%), some not.

My reference HEX file : BLE_HeartRate_reference.bin -> always advertise in all boards.

Starting new projects from STM32CubeMX, always get some boards not advertising.

I copied BLE_HeartRate as an example, modified it with STM32CubeMX to custom, added my

2 characteristics, then it wired in all my 41 boards.

I was not exceeding code memory, nor RAM, nor stack.

Tried dozens of projects, always arox. 30% of boards not advertising.

Using both crystals of 32MHz and 32,768KHz

At this time, after I converted BLE_HeartRate project, is running well.

Near 1 month trying until now.

Hello,

Which IDE are you using? Can you share your linker file?

Best Regards

[rbenv.3]

Hello :

IDE : 1.12.0, build : 14980_20230301_1550 (UTC)

installed originally as 1.3.0, and updated itself

Stack : tried 1.15.0 and 1.16.0, same results

Attached STM32WB15CCUX_FLASH_proj_ok.ld (from project that runs advertising OK)

STM32WB15CCUXE_FLASH_proj_nok.ld (from projects that some units don't advertise).

Tried to set bigger spaces for stack and/or heap, no different results.

Just received a notice that our manufacturer has just tested more 120 units with firmware revision OK, with advertising OK.

Best Regards

Hello,

In STM32WB15CCUXE_FLASH_proj_nok.ld file, there is an extra dot for MB_MEM2 section:

*(.MB_MEM2) ; instead of *(MB_MEM2) ;

Due to this, the buffers that need to be in SRAM2 are not placed there, so your application doesn't work. It will be corrected in the next release.

Best Regards
