FUS and Wireless Stack Programming Error

[Daniel_RH]

Hello
I'm working with a custom STM32WB55RG board which initially was working properly, reading documentation regarding failures and STM32WB Firmware Upgrade Service upgrade.
I tried to upgrade and follow the steps indicated, I also tried to follow several solutions that are in the forum but none of them succeeded to give me a solution.

I connect my card to the CubeProgrammer program.

I verify in the memory address that the fus is found.

Now I am going to program the Wireless Stack but it fails to program.

Another recurring error that I have is that the +M0 address is at 00000000, in one of the forums and solutions say that I program it at 00008000 in the memory address 0x5800040C.
I can program it but it gets deleted again.

Hello @Daniel_RH 

Could you try using the stm32wb5x_BLE_Stack_full_extended_fw.bin from the last version of the STM32CubeWB (V1.21.0). on the address 0x080C7000 (using the STM32CubeProgrammer V2.18.0).

Best Regards.

STTwo-32

[Daniel_RH]

Hi, following your instructions Use STM32CubeProgrammer V2.18.0 and stm32wb5x_BLE_Stack_full_extended_fw.bin from V1.21.0.


Process used to program

1. PIN CONFIGURATION

2.programming

initially I try to program by firware upgrade but it changes the configuration of the nBOOT0 pins to check which causes it to send the program to 0x08000000.

trying to program from memory and files

I reconfigure the pins

I try to program but it does not finish executing the wireless stack.

Hello @Daniel_RH 

Could you please try using the ST-LINK embedded on your nucleo board instead of the J-LINK to see if it works fine or not. For J-LINK, can you try following this guide ST STM32WB - SEGGER Knowledge Base.

Best Regards.

STTwo-32

 

[Daniel_RH]

I have tried both ST-LINK and J-LINK Plus but it still does not work.

I will follow the guide you provide, however I appreciate if you have another solution.

[STTwo-32]

Have you activated accidently the anti-rollback feature. If so, the stack reference version is considered as FFFFFFFF (while no stack installed and anti-rollback is activated), so no firmware update is allowed after that, and no recovery is possible at this point.

This wiki is available for more details.

Best Regard.

STTwo-32

[Daniel_RH]

No, before I had this problem I did some research and in many comments I saw regarding the activation of the anti-rollback.
So I was very careful to enable anti-rollback.

[STTwo-32]

Could you try the same test on another board. Also, please send the values of all the option bytes for your Board.

Best Regards.

I have 5 boards with the same customization, as I told you at the beginning, did not present any error but something made the BLE stopped working, as if the code was not executed.
Thinking that the error was due to deprogramming of the STACK and the FUS, we began to see the status of these looking if they were programmed.
When we tried to reprogram it, all this kind of failures started.
I have one card with FUS which is the one I am currently showing you and the others do not have FUS or STACK.

this is the pin configuration of another card

Hello @Daniel_RH 

Could you retry to upload both Stack and FUS using the .bin files from the STM32CubeWB V1.22.0 and the STM32CubeProgrammer V2.19.0 and after the Update click on the "Start Wireless Stack" button. 

Also check your HW. I think the issue is originally coming from there.

Best Regards.
