STM32WB55 Error on start of BLE stack

[Lee_T]

Hi,

I'm currently trying to get Bluetooth working from Zephyr. I'm working with the Zephyr sample code
zephyr\samples\bluetooth\peripheral_dis.

I'm using a Nucleo-WB55RG board. Using STMCubeProgrammer I've loaded the FUS at 0x080EE000 and the file stm32wb5x_BLE_Stack_full_fw.bin at 0x080D0000. The chart in the release notes doesn't appear completely with any of the browsers I've tried so I may be using the wrong addresses, but it's the best I can do.

The log from STMCubeProgrammer shows:

I then load the application using Zephyr's west. I've enabled logging in Zephyr. The serial output shows:

Booting Zephyr OS build v4.1.0-363-g895d91169e8b ***
BLE Test Code

[00:00:00.008,000] <wrn> bt_hci_core: opcode 0x1003 status 0x01
Bluetooth init failed (err -5)

The error comes after the line err = bt_enable(NULL);

I'm not sure what the opcode or status is showing me, or what to do to correct this. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

Hello @Lee_T and welcome to the ST Community.

Could you please provide the bin file for the FUS that you have used together with the STM32CubeWB version. If you have downloaded the New FUS version v2.0.0, you have to be aware that:

• Warning 1: With FUS v2.0.0, Coprocessor Binaries can be installed only through the USB interface,
  Currently CubeProgrammer versions do not support “FW_delete” command when using the ST-Link interface. The next CubeProgrammer release will address this limitation.
• Warning 2: For Coprocessor Binaries marked as “FUS_v2 only” in the Wireless Coprocessor Binary Table below, the “start address” provided by CubeProgrammer under “Firmware upgrade services” must be corrected as follows: start_address = (start_address - 0x4000). However addresses provided in the table are correct.

If you are using the FUS V1.2 and the stm32wb5x_BLE_Stack_full_fw.bin from the STM32CubeWB V1.22.1, be aware that the stm32wb5x_BLE_Stack_full_fw.bin from the STM32CubeWB V1.22.1 is compatible only with the new FUS version 2.0.0.

If all that is working fine, try to click on the "Start Wireless Stack" button on the STM32CubeProgrammer after successfully uploading the FUS and Stack.

Best Regards.

Hi @STTwo-32,

"The next CubeProgrammer release will address this limitation."

Which version would that be? The Release Notes for the Wireless Binaries only state that version 2.17.0 or higher must be used. We're currently at 2.19.0 and in the Release Notes for 2.18.0 I find:

• J-Link WB stack install

Some clarification would be nice.

[STTwo-32]

This limitation concerns the STM32CubeProgrammer V2.19.0 (the first version that does support the FUS V2.0.0).

Best Regards.

Hi,

I'm using FS version 2.0.0.3 and STMCubeProgrammer V2.19.0.  The BLE stack gets loaded at 0x080D0000, as shown in the log below. I looked around CubeProgrammer but I didn't see anything marked "Start Wireless Stack".

Hello @Lee_T 

please read the first warning on my first answer ‘ With FUS v2.0.0, Coprocessor Binaries can be installed only through the USB interface,
Currently CubeProgrammer versions do not support “FW_delete” command when using the ST-Link interface.´. So, you can’t install the stack throw the ST-LINK. You have to use the USB. This is a known limitation for the STM32CubeProgrammer V2.19.0.

Best Reagrds,

Hi STTwo-32,

The Nucleo WB55RG board I am using has an onboard STLink, which is connected via a USB connector. Is this the USB connection you are referring to? If not, what USB connection is used and what selection is made on CubeProgrammer?

In addition, I still have not found the "Start Wireless Stack" button in Programmer.

Apologies for all the questions.

Regards,

Lee

Hello @Lee_T 

To understand how to connect in USB DFU mode, please have a look at this video specially the part after 4:50. For the ‘Start Wireless Stack´, you can find it as you can see on this screenshot:

Hi STTwo-32,

I've tried three different browsers and none of them show a video in your reply. Did it not get posted?

[STTwo-32]

I've updated my answer with the video link attached to "this video" word.
