SparkFun MicroMod STM32WB5MMG Processor

The MicroMod STM32WB5MMG Processor expands on SparkFun's MicroMod ST product line with a powerful combination of computing and wireless capabilities on one M.2-connectable processor. The STM32WB5MMG from STMicroelectronics is an ultra-low power microcontroller that combines a pair of Arm® Cortex® processors; a Cortex-M4 processor with FPU and ART for primary computing and a Cortex-M0 to run the 2.4 GHz RF stack. The module's radio is Bluetooth® Low Energy 5.3, Zigbee® 3.0, and OpenThread certified.

The Cortex-M4 CPU on this Processor can operate at a frequency of up to 64 MHz and features a floating point unit (FPU) single precision, which supports all ARM single-precision data-processing instructions and data types. It also implements a full set of DSP instructions and a memory protection unit (MPU) which enhances application security. The module uses an integrated chip antenna for the RF stack with Tx output power up to +6 dBm and Rx sensitivity of -96 dBm for BLE and -100 dBm for 802.15.4 protocols. The processor includes an additional 128Mb (16MB) serial flash memory chip.


MicroMod is a modular interface ecosystem that connects a microcontroller “processor board” to various “carrier board” peripherals. Utilizing the M.2 standard, the MicroMod standard is designed to easily swap out processors on the fly. Pair a specialized carrier board for the project you need with your choice of compatible processor!

    The DESCRIPTION tab says "The processor includes an additional 128Mb (16MB) serial flash memory chip on the underside of the board." I don't see ANY chips on the underside of the board, and not even pads for any chips. Also, the FEATURES tab only mentions "1 MB Flash memory". Seems to me that there's at least one typo lurking here... that 8 pin chip beside the ESP module looks suspiciously like a flash memory chip to me...

    I'd be sorely tempted if the SEN-16794 were "in stock" -- or even if it were "available for backorder". :-( Such is life post-pandemic -- still dealing with supply chain issues...

      Looks like the "typos" got fixed! Thanks for the quick action!

I couldn't flash the device

I followed the instructions carefully. I simply couldn't flash the device.
