[STM32WB55] Failed to update FUS (Operation exceeds memory Limits, failed to erase memory)

I was trying to upgrade the FUS and wireless stack version on my STM32WB55 Nucleo board via ST-LINK using STM32CUBE Programmer GUI tool when I came to this issue. I first managed to delete the wireless stack by clicking on "Firmware Upgrade Service -> Firmware Delete" and it was successful.

After that, I tried performing a FUS upgrade with "stm32wb5x_FUS_fw_for_fus_0_5_3.bin", as acquired from Release .12.1: STM32CubeWB/Projects/STM32WB_Copro_Wireless_Binaries/STM32WB5x at master · STMicroelectronics/STM32CubeWB · GitHub. However, it failed and gave me the following error information:

I have no idea how to fix this problem. Could anyone please advise or help? Thanks!

Hello @OShen.1​ and welcome to the Community :)

Make sure to use the lastest release of STM32Cubeprogrammer.

Try to set RDP option byte to 0xBB (level 1) and then back to 0xAA (level 0). Then, upgrade the FUS once again.

Let me know if this solves your problem.

Hi @Imen DAHMEN​ 

Thank you so much for getting back to me! I have been using STM32Cubeprogrammer version 2.8.0, which I think is the latest. I have done exactly as you said but also getting the same result, i.e. complaining that "Operation exceeds memory limits".

I adivse you to follow the steps described in the eLearning WB Bluetooth mesh - 4 STM32CubeWB Bluetooth LE Stack installation.

(From navigation bar, go to Academy > eLearning Catalog > General Purpose Microcontrollers > STM32 Wireless BLE > Board installation and Materials overview > WB Bluetooth mesh - 4 STM32CubeWB Bluetooth LE Stack installation)

Hi @Imen DAHMEN​ 

Thanks for the advice. I re-installed CubeProgrammer and applied the 2.8.1 patch and now it works.

Glad to know the issue has been solved :) .

Thank you for your contribution.
