STM32WB55RE

Hello,

 

I am using STM32WB55RE (MCU) in my custom HW.

For testing the HW I have flashed BLE_HeartRateFreeRTOS example firmware.

"..\..\STM32Cube_FW_WB_V1.16.0\Projects\P-NUCLEO-WB55.Nucleo\Applications\BLE\BLE_HeartRateFreeRTOS" 

I am getting the advertisement of the HRSTM. So HW is working now but some how I am not able to reflash it.

Looks like my flashing setup stopped working.

I have rechecked all the flashing connections.

1. NRST

2. SYS_JTCK_SWCLK (PA14)

3. SYS_JTMS_SWDIO (PA13)

4. GND

 

Can you please help to fix this issue?

 

Thanks.

I have figured out the problem, it is not related to ST-Link.
The reset IO was staying high all the time, so manually grounded the reset IO for very small amount of time, then flashing works fine now.

Steps to solve:
1. Connect JTAG cables, split Reset io into two cables one to regular device IO pin and another should be used for manually grounding the IO
2. Keep the Reset IO grounded and then click click on Connect button on STM32CubeProgrammer.
3. Unground the Reset IO after 1-2 seconds(before Connect Timeout) occurs.
4. device will flash successfully.

Possible reason, the Reset IO might held high either in the Heartrate firmware or hardware.

Hello @bytespectrum 

Are you using a genuine ST-LINK to flash your firmware?

If so, can you double-check your wires?

Please check those two proposals.

Best Regards.

Please give more details of what, exactly, you've tried, and what happens.

Any error messages?

Can you debug?

The ST-Link should be able to assert the NRST line.

Did you have the ST-Link configured to do a hardware reset?

Yes, I have configured the hardware reset from the debug configuration, I have also tried hardware reset and other options from STM32CubeProgrammer options, but it didn't work.

So I had to do it manually.
