3.2.1.4. Update FUS

Update FUS with latest version.
The latest version of the FUS can be found in STM32Cube_FW_WB package. There are 2 versions of the FUS binary, depending on the actual FUS version present on your platform.

If the actual FUS version is 0.5.3, use the binary dedicated:
STM32Cube_FW_WB_V[...]\Projects\STM32WB_Copro_Wireless_Binaries\STM32WB5x\stm32wb5x_FUS_fw_for_fus_0_5_3.bin
.

If the actual FUS version is different from 0.5.3, then use the other binary: STM32Cube_FW_WB_V[...]\Projects\STM32WB_Copro_Wireless_Binaries\STM32WB5x\stm32wb5x_FUS_fw.bin
.

Check Start Address, this address can be found on STM32Cube_FW_WB package Release Note.
