STM32WB55CEUx custom board ble stack updating.

[HKIM.13]

Hi, I recently designed my own pcb board for STM32WB55CEUx MCU.

Then, during working with my board I got some problem at APP_BLE_Init() function

and the symptoms are exactly same with

this

STM32WB55 BLE Stack trouble on new hardware: https://community.st.com/s/question/0D50X0000B5IOp2SQG/stm32wb55-ble-stack-trouble-on-new-hardware

and this

STM32WB : Bug in FW_WB_V1.0.0: aci_gap_set_discoverable > hci_send_req > hci_cmd_resp_wait - wait infinitely for hci_cmd_resp_release after few connection/disconnection

https://community.st.com/s/question/0D50X0000AYqZ6mSQF/stm32wb-bug-in-fwwbv100-acigapsetdiscoverable-hcisendreq-hcicmdrespwait-wait-infinitely-for-hcicmdresprelease-after-few-connectiondisconnection

So, I think I should update the ble stack inside my mcu.

But, I can only find the examples for the nucleoboard, which has USB bootloader mode.

I only have ST-link interface in my custom board.

How can I update ble stack with only stlink? or is it impossible?

Every pins of STM32WB55CEUx is available in my custom pcb board and other normal functions except ble work normally.

Any other tips for my situation is welcomed.

OK the issue is coming from the fact that the FUS_operator (the FW converting commands from the SWD port into commands to be processed by the FUS) is not able to be loaded at 0x08000000. As a consequence, none of the FUS commands like FWdelete or FWupgrade can be executed by the FUS.

Let’s erase all the code located in the unsecure area (from 0x08000000 to the SFSA pointer).

To do that, set the RDP level to 0xBB and then revert to 0xAA. Do this in to successive commands. This will erase all data in the unsecure region.

Then let’s see what happen if you issue a new FWdelete command.

[Remi QUINTIN]

I see​ in your log that

PCROP1A_STRT : 0x1FF (0x8000FF8)

 PCROP1A_END : 0x0 (0x8000008)

 PCROP_RDP   : 0x0 (PCROP zone is kept when RDP is decreased)

 PCROP1B_STRT : 0x1FF (0x8000FF8)

 PCROP1B_END : 0x0 (0x8000008)

Normally when there is no protected areas, the PCROP_RDP bit should be set to 1. This could prevent the mass erase we want to do in the unsecure area. So please set this PCROP_RDP option byte to 1.

[HKIM.13]

Oh, it works, and I successfully delete the FW. Thanks for nice tip.

However, updating FUS is still not possible, but ble_stack download is done without problem.

Log below is the FUS update error message, and I guess.... this could means that I already have proper FUS version.

It worked and I successfully delete the fw and install BLE stack again, but, still failing for updating FUS.

Oh, it did work and successfully fwdelete worked, and installing ble_stack had no problem, but still only failing for updating FUS.

I think i have the same problem with my stm32wb55ceu6. I think there might be a problem with the FUS-binary installed. Could you maybe explain how to set the RDP level to 0xBB and revert to 0xAA? I have only found the option to set the rdp level to 1 with the command provided in you bash script.

Thanks in advance.

[Remi QUINTIN]

​You have to add in your batch file the 2 lines below

set comport=SWD or USB or UART depending on your board

CLI.exe -c port=%comport%   -ob RDP=0xBB

CLI.exe -c port=%comport%   -ob RDP=0xAA

[FPro.1]

Thank you very much for your answer. I managed to do it in the GUI of the CubeProgrammer. It is working now for me although I used different RAM addresses and not the ones in your batch file. (Maybe they are not valid anymore... I used the ones specified in the .html of the firmware package folder)

[RLour.1]

This is a very complicated part to set up....

I am not able to do the first step of erasing firmware. Any suggestions?

Thanks
