unable to get BLE examples working with STM32WB5MM-DK board.

ThunderMink opened this issue 3 years ago · 2 comments

I am having problems getting BLE working on this board. All examples give this in the serial monitor: starting BLE failed! using Arduino IDE 2.0.4
I have tried to update FUS and STACK but that did not help. Probably something simple that i am missing. The BLE works fine when using STM32CubeIDE.

STM32CubeProgrammer FUS info: FUS state = IDLE, FUS status = FUS_NO_ERROR, FUS version = v1.2.0.0, STACK VERSION = v1.15.0.3, FUS OPERATOR = v3.1.0.

Arduino IDE settings:
Board = Discovery
Board part number = STM32WB5MM-DK
C runtime library = Newlib standard
Upload method = SWD

Here is the serial monitor dump for the Scan.ino example:

starting BLE failed!

Here is the Scan.ino

#include <STM32duinoBLE.h>

This example scans for BLE peripherals and prints out their advertising details:
address, local name, advertised service UUID's.

Hi @ThunderMink
As stated in the README.md:

In order to use this library with SM32WBxx series, you need to update the STM32WB Copro Wireless Binaries
with stm32wbxx_BLE_HCILayer_fw.bin depending of your mcu:
https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/STM32CubeWB/tree/master/Projects/STM32WB_Copro_Wireless_Binaries
Each subdirectories contains binaries and Release_Notes.html which explain how to update it.

So do you use the stm32wb5x_BLE_HCILayer_fw.bin?

Hi fpistm! thanks for the fast reply, yes i use the HCILayer. Now i got another devlopement board that uses stm32wb55 and i had no problem getting that one to work so i guess the stm325mmk had some problem getting the firmware programmed. i did not get any errors or anything when updating the firmware. i need to try to re-flash the firmware again and verify the start adress and firmware that is beeing used.
