Unable to update FUS or flash the wireless stack STM32WB55

[ALu.3]

H,

I just had some custom boards with STM32WB55CG and I would like to flash the BLE stack into the microcontroller. For some reason the STM32CubeProgrammer does not allow me to flash the FUS or BLE stack files, it always comes back with warning/errors like FUS_STATE_IMG_NOT_FOUND and Operation exceeds memory limits. I am not sure what is the solution now. Any idea would be really helpful, thanks.

The software I use is STM32CubeProgrammer, with ST-Link SWD mode, tried both CLI and GUI

When I read the FUS version the version data is actually loaded @0x20010010. Version 1.1.1.0

According to https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/STM32CubeWB Realse note

Note: when FUS is not running but FUS operator used, you can read FUS version @0x20010010

But I am not sure what does it mean.

Some Options bytes value:

SFSA: 0xf4 (Addr: 0x080f4000)

SBRSA: 0x0 (Addr: 20030000)

SNBRSA: 0x10 (Addr: 2003c000)

SBRV: 0x3d00

Hi @ALu.3​ ,

I suggest you to follow the steps as described in the eLearning WB Bluetooth mesh - 4 STM32CubeWB Bluetooth LE Stack installation.

Relevant details for you start at 1:55.

Hi @Amel NASRI​ .

Thanks for the info I will check it out

Hi @Amel NASRI​ ,

It seems like I already followed the instructions but errors still happen, like FUS_STATE_IMG_NOT_FOUND and Operation exceeds memory limits

Angus

[Amel NASRI]

Hi @ALu.3​ ,

Check this new link please and look for the 4th course WB Bluetooth mesh - 4 STM32CubeWB Bluetooth LE Stack installation.

Or, from navigational bar, go to Academy > eLearning Catalog > General Purpose Microcontrollers > STM32 Wireless BLE > Board installation and Materials overview > WB Bluetooth mesh - 4 STM32CubeWB Bluetooth LE Stack installation.

That is the learning content recently introduced in the Community.

Hi @Amel NASRI​ ,

I checked through the video and confirm that I followed the instructions, but errors still come up.

Angus

[Amel NASRI]

Hi @ALu.3​ ,

FUS_STATE_IMG_NOT_FOUND error is returned by FUS if no wireless stack is installed and a delete request is sent, informing that no wireless stack was found.

This is how this error state is explained in AN5185 (ST firmware upgrade services for STM32WB Series).

Have a look to this discussion also, you may find some hints.

If problem is still there, we will need the help of our STM32WB expert, so please keep us informed on the status.

hello

> SFSA: 0xf4 (Addr: 0x080f4000)

it's strange, SFSA should be the start of the BLE firmware (0x080CA000 for stm32wb5x_BLE_Stack_full_fw.bin from Cube WB FW package V1.12.0)

what version of Cube WB FW package are you using ? 1.12.0 ?

which kind of BLE firmware are you trying to flash ? stm32wb5x_BLE_Stack_full_fw.bin ?

my option bytes values : (for a STM32WB5MM updated to FUS 1.2.0 and stm32wb5x_BLE_Stack_full_fw.bin v1.12.0):

SFSA: 0xca (Addr: 0x080ca000)

SBRSA: 0xa (0x20032800)

SNBRSA: 0xf (0x2003bc00)

SBRV: 0x32800

Hi @Guillaume K @Amel NASRI 

 

I have the error of "Warning: FUS_STATE_IMG_NOT_FOUND, Flash already empty !" and I am using the latest v1.19. Is there a way to resolve this issue? I know this issue had no solution yet. 

 

thanks,

I am trying to flash/write/program BlE stack using openocd on custom board.
controller is stm32wb5mmgh6tr

i am trying this command in makefile.

flash_ble_stack:

    openocd -f opocd.cfg \

    -c "init" \

    -c "reset halt" \

    -c "flash protect 0 0 last off" \
    -c "flash erase_sector 0 206 243" \

    -c "flash write_image stm32wb5x_BLE_Stack_full_fw.bin 0x080CE000 bin" \

    -c "reset halt" \

    -c "resume" \

    -c "exit"

i have also file  opocd.cfg inside that this two line written.

source [find interface/stlink-v2.cfg]

source [find target/stm32wbx.cfg]


when i run/fire this command in terminal then if on address(0x080CE000) if not already flash anything then it flash BLE stack and i got log 
make flash_ble_stack 

here is log

openocd -f opocd.cfg \
-c "init" \
-c "reset halt" \
-c "flash protect 0 0 last off" \
-c "flash write_image stm32wb5x_BLE_Stack_full_fw.bin 0x080CE000 bin" \
-c "verify" \
-c "reset halt" \
-c "resume" \
-c "exit"

And for confirmation i checked memory address in stm32cubeprogrammer applicaion as well as i open that BLE stack .bin file for confirming see both attached photo.

but in that FUS if i click read fus info button then it say version of stack is 0.0 why? see attached photo.

and then i flash my actual application code.

Question / Doubt:
is there any further process start ble stack or any steps that i missed.
why that ble device not showing any ble sniffer mobile application.
