This board has a package containing a STM32WLE5JC cortex-m4 microcontroller at 48 MHz.
The MCU does not contain a FPU, only the mandatory DSP for m4 cores, but it does have an embedded radio, it appears to be an SX1262.
STM32WLE5JC
RAM is in two 32K banks, which may be addressed separately or contiguously. The second bank has extended features when used separately.
256K FLASH 64K RAM AES 256 LoRa
There is a warning in the reference manual on page 185 of RM0461 Rev 5:
“The SMPS needs a clock to be functional. If for any reason this clock stops, the device may be destroyed.”
I probably would not have bothered with this board had I read the above warning beforehand. Who designs a MCU that can self destruct if a bit doesn't get set in error?
Test
The factory default firmware uses the serial link to issue `AT' commands to control the LoRa radio. These can be used to test the device and view its unique ID.
If you type anything other than AT then the device will hang and you must restart the connection. If you do type AT (either case) you then have a tiny amount of time to continue before it rejects the command. For testing you should copy and paste commands.
The firmware was designed to emulate the Hayes AT instruction set yet was clearly implemented by someone who never used a Hayes modem or RTFM.

Once testing is complete we will erase the firwmare but if you do so there is no going back since it's not available in any format.
Programming
To program the board connect with a J-Link EDU Mini. This will require an adapter of some sort.
Warning: This process will erase the write protected firmware and this is non-recoverable.
NB when removing protection, the device will need to be power cycled afterwards.

Erase
Connecting to the board using JLinkExe will remove protection and erase the firmware but this can also be done using a standalone tool.
NB when removing protection, the device will need to be power cycled afterwards.
