Join issue at startup - STM32WB55 with LR1110

[mikymike006]

Hello team,

I'm stuck with the join procedure.
My design is a copy of the Lora tracker with STM32WB55 and LR1110. I first managed to make it work on one board and join the network. The four other boards I have don't work. So I used the SWSD004 and compiled it with STM32Cube. It was painful.
The code work on the first board again but not on the others. I added the flag MODEM_HAL_DBG_TRACE to get more info.
By doing this I noticed that the LR1110 talk with the STM32 but fail when we try to join network on the other boards :
[1B][0;32mINFO: smtc_modem_join_network [1B][0m[1B][0;33mWARN: smtc_modem_join_network call but the device is mute

I tried again the same code on the working board, it worked the first time... but not since then.
Now I got this :

How can the LR1110 be in suspend mode ? I don't understand what this means.
Sometimes it also says that it's joined but it's wrong.

Could you help me please ?
Best regards,
Michael

Hello, thank you for using LBM
Can you check if you are followy the prerequisites :
https://github.com/Lora-net/SWL2001?tab=readme-ov-file#prerequisites

It seems the code is not builded with the correct version of arm gcc

Hello LBM team,
Thank you for this fast reply.
You were right, I installed the recommended GNU arm gcc toolchain and my first board is working again. But not the others. They fail when we start to do something network related.
Here is the log from the working board, followed by the log from a non working board :

Log 88CA - gcc10.txt
Log 88F2 - gcc10.txt
(Don't pay attention to airplane mode, I comment this in the code)

I see different values for DevNonce, if that's relevant.
What would you recommend to find what's going on ?

Best regards,
Michael
