Bootloader to update firmware via UART: It is possible to invert UART TX pin?

My project requires a RS-232 cable with TX inverted to connect the PC with CubeProgrammer CLI to STM32WB55. In application, I am able to configure the UART with "UART_ADVFEATURE_TXINVERT_INIT", and the STM32WB55 transmission works fine through the RS-232 cable, but does not work on bootloader, since by default the TX pin is not inverted.

Any idea on how to workaround this?

A custom bootloader is an option to consider, but since I am using CubeProgrammer I would like to use the default bootloader from ST.

Welcome @Guillherme Amaral​ to the Community!

As you have probably already seen that in AN2606, the built-in bootloader is fixed and doesn't offer configuration parameters, so there is no way to use such special features.

Either you use an external single-gate inverter or you write your own bootloader, which of course reduces your user's Flash area.

Good luck!
