Hello Geeks...
Hope all are doing well
Recently, I'm working on STM32WB FUOTA
I know the FUOTA terminology of the STM32WB through the application document AN5247
Moreover, I have gone through the YouTube Tutorial series of the FUOTA for WB series
I'm trying to update my application over FUOTA but, some how it's verification always fails and it's rollover to BLE OTA loader app!
here are the steps which I'm following
Problem statements & Test procedure
1. Application firmware seems working well and I can pair the BLE device with STBLE app
2. I can send the OTA reboot request from the STBLE app, and MCU also reboot from the application code
3. However the main issue is, "STM_OTA" ble unable to advertise!
4. After power reboot, it's advertising as a "STM_OTA"
5.when I'm trying to send the application bin from 0x7000 then it's downloading from the app seamless
6.However the main issue is, it's always rollback to OTA loader and advertise as "STM_OTA"!!
For the reference, here I have attached the linker script, Memory region & memory details screenshot
I'm using the Wireless FW version: 1.13.2 and FUS version: 1.2.0

Hi... @Greg_
As I told the earlier, I have custom firmware which is just adopted from the P2P server app
I haven't modified anything with the BLE loader app
Here is the file that i have attached here
Thanks

I can not open or download the file. Was it BLE_p2pServer or BLE_p2pServer_ota example?
2022-05-18 01:57 AM
The file is unavailable. Please chceck if your basis was BLE_p2pServer or BLE_p2pServer_ota and check if in the file p2p_server_app.c you have anything related to OTA.

here it is @Greg_
it's a custom one

Hello,
I looked your screenshot and I observed that the value 0x4c05b510 is the value at 0x08007150. I didn't understand why BLE_Ota is reading at this address instead of 0x08007140. You have to investigate this point.
Best Regards

@Remy ISSALYS I am facing the issue that my custom application couldn't come back to OTA loader application. I sent 0x01 0x07 0x02 to the BM characteristic as the instruction hoping to start OTA loader app, and erase 2 sectors starting from 0x08007000.
But my application just reset and come back to my custom application right away.
Can you please help to give me some pointer why my OTA loader (exactly the code from BLE_OTA code) couldn't start, or if it is start but couldn't erase the custom's app?
Thank you so much for your helps

The issue is that the "STM_OTA" BLE advertisement is not working, and the device always rolls back to the OTA loader app and advertises as "STM_OTA" after power reboot. The application firmware seems to be working well, and the OTA reboot request can be sent from the STBLE app, causing the MCU to reboot from the application code. However, when attempting to send the application binary from 0x7000, it always rolls back to the OTA loader and advertises as "STM_OTA."
Without additional information, it is difficult to determine the exact cause of the issue. However, some possible solutions could be to check if the BLE stack is correctly initialized, check if the BLE advertisement parameters are correctly set, and check if there are any errors in the code related to FUOTA. The user could also try to debug the code using a debugger or logging messages to identify the root cause of the issue. SWA

Thank you AKhan,
My problem is from Custom App can't get back to STM_OTA.
Found the issue when I copied and pasted my source code I didn't assign the Handler correctly so the command is sent in still route to notification Handler. Problem solved thank you.
