STEVAL-IDW001V1 Troubleshoot

Hi,

I am working with evaluation board (STEVAL-IDW001V1) equipped with the WiFi module (SPWF01SA.11), and having trouble with updating the firmware (FW) to the board. I followed the instructions to have BOOT0 high during power up and then pressing RESET (SW1), but the board doesn't respond with a ready message on my terminal software.

In addition, I have tried a few troubleshooting options with the factory FW. I currently have a USB to UART bridge (UB232R) to try and send AT commands after the Eval Board gives the follow messages:

+WIND:1:Poweron (140128-caf4b79-SPWF01S)

+WIND:3:Watchdog Running

+WIND:0:Console active

<0>

+WIND:32:WiFi Hardware Started

+WIND:21:WiFi Scanning

+WIND:35:WiFi Scan Complete (0x0)

+WIND:21:WiFi Scanning

+WIND:35:WiFi Scan Complete (0x0)

...

However, the evaluation board does not respond to

any

AT commands. I've exhausted every potential issues with continuity tests on the board, testing signal transmission, and so on to no avail.

Please help,

Michael :]

Hi Michael,

I am George Vlantis, and I work in California to support SPWF01S modules and evaluation boards. If you are in North America, I'd like to schedule a time to work with you by phone. Perhaps we can start by exchanging phone numbers, e-mail addresses and our locations. Thank you.

I would like to start with updating your board with the latest firmware. Your code seems to be a year old. Also, it will verify that the RX and TX lines are still working to the STM32F103 processor on the module. I have created an improved tutorial to upgrade the Evaluation Boards that I would like to share with you. See attachments.

Cheers.
