Hi all,
I’m working with a new ST67W611M1A6BTR Wi-Fi module on a customized STM32H745 board.
I followed the official X-NUCLEO-67W61M1 and NUCLEO-U575ZI-Q passthrough example, and I am able to communicate with the module (UART passthrough to PC works, and I can get to the command prompt on the NCP using the qcc74x shell).
However, when I try to flash new NCP firmware using QConn_Flash, the process fails at the “handshake” stage. I'm wondering if I can use the same procedure for the standalone module?
Any help is appreciated! Many thanks!
My setup:
Hardware: ST67W611M1A6BTR module on custom board, UART connected to STM32H745.
UART passthrough: Confirmed working; I can get the NCP shell prompt (see below for log).
Flashing method: Following the procedure in the ST documentation (same as for X-NUCLEO/NUCLEO board), trying to use QConn_Flash tool in standalone mode.

Hi Benoit,
Thank you for your reply.
Yes, I’ve carefully checked the schematics against the recommendations in the ST wiki and double-checked the code. I even added an extra delay after asserting BOOT high while waiting CHIP_EN, to ensure proper timing for the flashing sequence. However, I still encounter the same problem:
I can access the MFG shell over UART in normal mode, and I can also connect to Wi-Fi via the shell prompt.
But as soon as I switch to flash mode (CHIP_EN =1 + Boot toggle), the UART becomes silent—nothing is output, and QConn_Flash fails at the handshake step.
I’m starting to wonder if maybe my standalone module requires a different approach. Is NCP firmware flashing only supported via JTAG on the ST67W611M1A6BTR? Or should it be possible over UART, as with the NUCLEO reference design? I've also tried to use the NCP Echo example, but the SPI port always times out when trying to send the AT command, so I’m not sure if there is an NCP firmware on the module.
I’m feeling a bit stuck with the ST67W611M1A6BTR. Do you have any suggestions, or is JTAG programming the recommended method in this situation?
Thanks again for your help.
