ASTRA1B: Lora has NOT joined

Danny0007 · ‎2023-07-19

Hi ST Community,

I´m doing my first try with the board STEVAL-ASTRA1B, try to run the example binary for Logistic.

LoRa can not join the network:

on the APP ST Asset Tracking there is no data from GPS:

some hints? Thanks in advanced.

Hello @Danny0007 and welcome to ST Community.

For the joining network problem, I suggest you to take a look on this video and try to connect the same way.

For the GNSS data display problem, I suggest you to use your device outdoor because GNSS does not work well indoor.

Hello IIRHO,

thanks for the reply.
Aktually before I watched this video, I thought there is no any firmware on the board, so I had already flashed the STM32WB with

and

that means the firmware on STM32WB are reflashed

The firmware on STM32WL is kept as original, no reflash.
can you tell me which orginal firmware were on the STM32WB? Maybe I should start from the very beginning and firstly test the original firmware.

Hello again,

I suggest you to use the CustomUC application with the last version of CubeMX for your application.

Hello IIRHO,

this doesn´t solve my problem.

And now it has another problem, after I flash the user application CustomUC.hex;

the blue LED is permanent on, no bluetooth connection, no serial output.

Danny0007 · ‎2023-07-23

Sorry, I´m a newbie to ST development environment, as I understand CubeMX is for generating code and it is in CubeIDE integrated, so I just use CubeIDE and import the CustomUC project like this

with this setting I get a hex file

after flasing it in the board, nothing happens. No USB connection, No any LED blinking, it seems nothing is running.

*******************************************************************

another question: I´m a little coufused about these three settings

how should they look like before and after flashing new Copro_wireless_binaries? should I change them manuallly if I flash another wireless stack, or the software handles them automatically?

Hello again,

I suggest you to use cube programmer to do a Full chip erase. Than you can use the CustomUC application.

Hello again

I suggest you to:

Double-check that you are flashing the correct versions CustomUC binary.
Try resetting the device after flashing the firmware. Sometimes a reset is necessary to start the firmware running.

Best Regards.

Hello again,

this time I recompiled the CustomUC code by myself, there was an error in :

it was Master_Clock_Accuracy.

After I flash the device with new binary file, it seems working.
But the mobile app ST Asset tracking hangs, the device can not be added succecssfully.

I tried both android and ios version

Thanks and Best regards
Danny
