WL55 Option Byte Programming Failed

[ZSvet.1]

Dear Community,

I have exhausted all possibilities to find the reason to successfully configure Option Bytes on STM32WL55.
With the process I am using CubeProgrammer v2.13 and I can say that
for STM32WLE5 the programming of OB was successful every-time!

The things that I have checked and tested for STM32WL55:
- tried on different 15 devices (same model)
- lowered the MSI to 4000000Hz (erratum workaround)
- used unlock-chip in the CubeProg
- tried different ST-Link frequencies
- have upgraded ST-Link (V2J40M27)

The only OB that I can program is the BOR Level.

1. Do you have any idea or advice what should I do?

Hello @ZSvet.1 and welcome to ST Community.

I reproduced the same behavior using ST-LINK FW : V3J10M3 and it works if I just put the option byte nBOOT0 to 0 before putting nBOOT1 and nSWBOOT0 to 0. Also, I suggest you to verify the Board that u are using and the voltage.  After the data you have provided, I think there is a problem in this two parameters as you can see in this capture.

I hope this is helpful for you.

Dear Issam,

Thanks you for your investigation.
Did you checked both MCUs?

You are correct to verify board,
but I am using cut-off ST-Link from F401RE board connected to own STM32WLxx PCB
(Outage of ST-LINKs in the past, so the need - produced that :) ).
Wiring and target voltage should be OK, considering everything is working normally on STM32WLE5:
- flashing
- debugging
- OptionByte programming 100%
Only with the STM32WL55 I have problems to program most of the option-bytes.

With other development machines, where I am using ST factory ST-LINKv2(latest FW)
I am facing the same symptoms with STM32WL55 not capable of programming some OBs.
(Have done double checking before asked here....)

As it seems your configuration is using ST-LINKv3 HW ... maybe that would be the trick.
Will order a few v3 ST-LINKs to try out.

Thanks a lot.

Ziga
