P-NUCLEO-WB55 does not working on DFU mode

Hi, All,

​

I want to use CubeMon-RF to monitor the USB dongle of the P-NUCLEO-WB55.

According to the Manual : STM32CubeMonitor-RF software tool for wireless performance measurements,

The USB dongle must be monitored using the VCP DEVICE link, and it need to update Firmware to use the example : ble_transparent_mode_vcp.

​

To update the USB dongle's firmware, I must use STM32CubeProg tool.

According to the manual : STM32CubeProgrammer software description,

USB dongle must use DFU mode for Firmware update, and I install DFU driver follow the Chapter 1.2.4.

And set the DFU mode according to this web page https://visualgdb.com/tools/STM32WBUpdater/connecting/.

​

However, when the device is plugged into the PC, the Window Device Manager does not detect any device, and the USB dongle is the same as STM32WB Nucleo.

And Win7 is the same as Win10.

May I ask how to solve this?

​

Thanks. ​

Do you have a way (USB, USART, SWD) to dump all the option bytes ?

Send me a log of the sequence of commands you are using.

Did you try the sequence RDP = 0xBB and then back to 0xAA?

Hello @Remi QUINTIN​ , I`m also faced this DFU mode issue. I`ve got p-nucleo-wb55 preliminary version and try upload BLE Stack on it, connecting via SWD, because in the Device Manager I`ve no DFU or Bootloader, only ST-Link Debug and VCP. I`ve not installed any special USB drivers except that one in CubeProgrammer installation package.

There is the STM32_Programmer_CLI logs:

I`ve tried set RDP bits from 0xBB to 0xAA. When I`m trying erase current stack from flash memory, CLI makes 2 attepts and sends me this error:

Could you help me understand what exactly causes this problem? Thanks in advance!

Could you retry the sequence RDP set to 0xBB and back to 0xAA but be sure to do this with PCROP_RDP set to 1 as this will ensure any protected area are really erased.

Error messages like "was not modified" just indicate that the option byte was already at the requested value.

Message "Warning: Option Bytes are unchanged, Data won't be downloaded" is the consequence of the above messages. So do not consider it? It is not an issue.

Thank you @Remi QUINTIN​  for your reply! I`ve tried your solution to set PCROP_RDP to 1 and perform change the RDP bytes to 0xBB and back to 0xAA. It's strange that PCROP_RDP sets 0x0 after RDP is decreased to 0xAA. Although I tried make fwdelete, fwupdate and it still return an error, see attached logs. So what else could cause this error? Coulld it be a hardware malfunction?

Thank you shorten the path did it for me. In addition I noticed that folders containing a space also give this "wrong address" error.

This is a great comment - resolved my issue.

@Remi QUINTIN​ : Would be awesome to include this comment in a troubleshooting section in e.g. the "STM32WB Copro Wireless Binaries Release Notes" file.

Thanks @Community member​  - you made my day! ;)

​I woud recommend you have a look at the application note AN5185 "How to flash WB device".

The settings of the option bytes are described for both SWD and USB ports.
