"no device detected" in BlueNRG GUI, using X-NUCLEO-BNRG2A1

[a28j]

Hi, I use a X-NUCLEO-BNRG2A1 with a NUCLEO-L476RG .

I try to use the BlueNRG GUI for the Virtual_COM_Port application. I copy directly the binary file into the "NUCLEO" device. 

But when I open the Port on GUI, it is displayed "no device detected" then ""no firmware detected on the motherboard"

When I update the motherboard under tools menu this message is displayed (on the picture)

I try but the LED does nothing.

Then I choose the file USB_to_SERIAL.hex, but it displays "No DFU board found".

Can anyone provide a hint how to get BlueNRG GUI working ?

This does not seem to be a driver issue. In case of a driver issue, there would be a yellow bang on the device in Device Manager.

It looks to be Windows 7 according to the screenshots. Not sure if the application just doesn't work on old OSes.

Could you please try 1- DfuSe, available in the link: https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/stsw-stm32080.html

and 2- STM32CubeProgrammer, available in the link: https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/stm32cubeprog.html

if any of them can detect the STM32 DFU board correctly?

Otherwise, try to seek for help in STM32CubeProgrammer:

The OS is Windows 11. I tried DfuSe and it couldn't find it either, but STMCubeProgrammer does see it so I'll try with that.

Thanks for your help.

I have a similar issue using the board STEVAL-IDB009V1, when I try to open it on BlueNRG gui, I get an error message "No device detected". I can program it with BlueNRG-2 Navigator so I don't really know where is the problem.

I had this same problem.

I am telling how I solved, even if it is a bit late.

I could not do it with a nucleo.

1.- Instead I used a STLinkV2 like this (stmicroelectronics / st-link-v2 icd-programmer-for-stm8-stm32 sorry I am not allowed to use links). I have not tried with this (st-link-v2 for bluepill) but probably it is the same. In my case, this device DOES NOT provide supply, so I used another 5 Volts supply and connected to pins 5V and GND of CN6 (see User Manual UM2667, page 4)

2.- I made the connections described in page 14 of (X-NUCLEO-BNRG2A1_QUICK_START_GUIDE en.x-nucleo-bnrg2a1_quick_start_guide.pdf)

3.- I put a jumper in J15, and removed supply. Wait some seconds and then supply again.

4.- Then I used RF-Flasher,

• Select tab SWD,
• tick the connected interfaces,
• erase Mass,
• select image file = DTM_SPI.hex (this is the one that allowed the bluetooth connection)
• Flash

5.- After that, remove supply, remove jumper in J15 and supply again.

Hope it helps someone
