Bluetooh support
----------------

BLE support is enabled on nucleo_wba55cg. To build a zephyr sample using this board
you first need to install Bluetooth Controller libraries available in Zephyr as binary
blobs.

To fetch Binary Blobs:

Programming and Debugging
*************************

Nucleo WBA55CG board includes an ST-LINK/V3 embedded debug tool interface.
It could be used for flash and debug using either OpenOCD or STM32Cube ecosystem tools.

Flashing
========

STM32CubeProgrammer is configured as flashing tool by default.
If available, OpenOCD could be used. Same process applies with both tools.

Flashing an application to Nucleo WBA55CG
-----------------------------------------

Here is an example for the :zephyr:code-sample:`blinky` application.

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/basic/blinky
   :board: nucleo_wba55cg
   :goals: build flash

You will see the LED blinking every second.

Debugging
=========

Debugging using OpenOCD
-----------------------

You can debug an application in the usual way using OpenOCD. Here is an example for the
:zephyr:code-sample:`blinky` application.

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/basic/blinky
   :board: nucleo_wba55cg
   :maybe-skip-config:
   :goals: debug

Debugging using STM32CubeIDE
----------------------------

You can debug an application using a STM32WBA compatible version of STM32CubeIDE.

For that:

- Create an empty STM32WBA project by going to File > New > STM32 project
- Select your MCU, click Next, and select an Empty project.
- Right click on your project name, select Debug as > Debug configurations
- In the new window, create a new target in STM32 Cortex-M C/C++ Application
- Select the new target and enter the path to zephyr.elf file in the C/C++ Application field
- Check Disable auto build
- Run debug
