SensorTile.box Lost Power, Connection

tortilla · ‎2024-12-17

I just bought the latest SensorTileBox (STEVAL-MKSBOX1V1) and it lost power and bluetooth connection, no LED lights. How do I restore it to its original firmware? The ST BLE Sensor app also doesn't have the create app option.

Hi @tortilla ,

Here the steps to follow:

1. connect the sensortile to PC via USB and STLink as picture with battery unconnected

2. open the STCubeProgrammer and set STLink as programmer

3. connect to the sensortile, now can you see the flash memory content

click the second icon, browse the BLEFOTA_BL_1.0.0.bin file in the FOTA folder (https://www.st.com/en/embedded-software/stsw-mksbox1-bl.html) and set all parameters as in the picture below:

4. start program

5. then, restart the sensortile (unplug and plug the sensortile USB) and you can see by the smartphone app the board ST.BOOT

6. connect to st.boot and you see the firmware upgrade request

7. start the firmware upgrade, when the upgrade is terminated, restart the sensortile and the smartphone app
