Syncrobit #60 and #58 ecc selection

[invictus737]

Hello,

some V1 CM4 based Syncrobit miners are having the ECC address not standard and some extra handling is required for that special case. Please add at the minim the posibility to custom specify the i2c address (60 or 58) and the slot (0,1,2,3).

Regards

[shawaj]

Do you have a source for this information of the different i2c bus and slot? This shouldn't be the case as it's part of the audit from helium foundation.

We currently have no way to dynamically assign the bus address or slot as it is pulled in from the hardware definitions in hm-pyhelper

You can already customise this to your needs but I appreciate it is not the simplest process if you aren't familiar with python packages etc

[invictus737]

Hello,I have a fleet of 20 syncrobit miners and all with diy ansible image. Also original syncrobit miner firmware have a slot and address configuration. 4 out of 20 miners have ECC programmed on address 58 instead of 60. I know is strange. They are v1 Syncrobit. RegardsChrisOn 29 Jan 2023, at 19:48, Aaron Shaw @.***> wrote: Do you have a source for this information of the different i2c bus and slot?

Hmm very odd. I guess they must be some custom version of the chip.

Do you know which slot the key is in?

Lastly, could you go to https://hub.balena.io/organizations/nebraltd/fleets/HELIUM-syncrobit and click "get started" and add one of your devices to this that have the ECC on address 58 instead of 60? And once done, can you let me know?

Thanks!

[shawaj]

Any joy with this @invictus737 ?

[invictus737]

Hi, sorry not easy during winter to reach to those locations. In the mean time please add i2c-tools package or instruct how to add package. Required to drill down to the right i2c address and also https://github.com/helium/gateway-mfr-rs to test the right slot number where the keys are stored.

[shawaj]

How are you accessing them then? Are they on BalenaCloud?

[invictus737]

No Balena. Diy custom firmware on them with my required packages. On 6 Feb 2023, at 12:00, Aaron Shaw @.***> wrote: How are you accessing them then? Are they on BalenaCloud?

@invictus737 so you are not using our firmware?

[UrsoXone]

I am using your firmware and I do have one Syncrobit, which after flashing your firmware is showing on dashboard the ECC is not detected... may be this fella falls into the @invictus737 description. How can I check it?

[shawaj]

@UrsoXone can you add gh_shawaj to have access to your fleet?

Then I can take a look

[UrsoXone]

How can I do that?

@UrsoXone there was nothing attached?

[shawaj]

For my future reference, this is your device UUID - https://dashboard.balena-cloud.com/devices/99e4bc8a25781c87d8473d270d1f54d0

I2c is on 0x58 as in above. I will see if I can get an update pushed over the weekend if I have any time to play around with it.

Could you leave this device turned on @UrsoXone ?

[UrsoXone]

Yes! Please let me know the progress...I am afraid, I have more like that :). Thanks for the support and thanks @invictus737 for the trigger..

~~Hej shawaj ! I am using your firmware (latest version) on 1 of my Syncrobits. One of which after flashing your firmware is showing on dashboard the ECC is not detected... How can I check it the memory slot?
Is it possible to release a fw image for this specific sample of units?~~

Looks like we need to wait...

I have it with me now. let me know if you need anything additional. It has been offline for a long time, 7 months. i have another syncrobit from the same batch but don't have physical access to it at the moment

[shawaj]

Iast time you got direct access to it.

@UrsoXone I know, but I want to make sure that it is the same public key as expected that's why I need the name from onboarding

[mg198]

Okay perfect! Yes I have it with me and have access to it at any moment

[UrsoXone]

Ok! Now worries. Btw, I needed to power it off, to fix other Hotspot.

[shawaj]

@UrsoXone let me know when you manage to turn yours on again and the helium name. Then I can check yours too and finish the solution

[invictus737]

The solution is try all slots and compare with api as seems a random slot alloc by SB. I have slots 0 up to 9 with pkeys and animal names. 😁 That’s why I have kindly asked in this Issue to have selection possible in Dashboard. On 13 Feb 2023, at 07:27, Aaron Shaw @.***> wrote: @UrsoXone let me know when you manage to turn one on again and the helium name.

@invictus737 we need to see examples of all of these to know how to handle it best.

So if you can please give us more details of all the miners you mention so we can access them

[mg198]

will i have to reflash my device with a new firmware or will something be pushed to it? Also, i have a friend with an eMMC out of town wanting his reflashed is it only a few like ours or should most re-flash with no issues?

[shawaj]

When we fix it, it will just update if you face it in the open fleet

[UrsoXone]

If I provide you a similar picture of the output of 4 different HS ( i2cdetect command ) it will be enough for you? I do have 4 in total, with this 0x58 I2C ECC address

[shawaj]

@UrsoXone really we need to have access or there's nothing we can do

[UrsoXone]

Let me check if later , for the sake of development, I can bring the previous rare species online again! By the way, the other one from mig28, wasn't enough to test ?

Hi,

HS is back online. HS name: Hidden Fuchsia Tuna

[shawaj]

Thanks @UrsoXone - yours is on ecc://i2c-1:88?slot=2 so different to @mg198 - can you also leave yours online so we can test some solutions

[shawaj]

@UrsoXone the output we need is actually the one like this: https://github.com/NebraLtd/helium-syncrobit/issues/2#issuecomment-1427342499

If you have other hotspots you can check that will be helpful. Or you can put them online and we can check.

[UrsoXone]

It will stay online. Which command I need to run on others? You will not be able to connect to the others since they don't have yet the Nebra firmware installed.

You would need to be running Nebra software and run from diagnostics container:

./python-dependencies/hm_pyhelper/gateway_mfr_aarch64 --device ecc://i2c-1:88?slot=0 key

Changing the slot from 0 up until 4 until you see the correct animal name

[UrsoXone]

On the other HS I don't have yet the Nebra firmware, I need to install it and then activate SSH connection on it. ( Which I don't know yet how to do it). Let me check if I can run this without the Nebra firmware.

This gives you any help? Or really need to have your command with slot? The HS which I am running this, I don't have your nice python script ..

[UrsoXone]

I believe on this HS, it is SLOT 2

[shawaj]

Yes the slot is important. We need to have both from that command to make sure it can be accessed

[shawaj]

Looking at syncrobit code, it seems to be slot2 if it is on 0x58... (But this doesn't match with @mg198 hotspot which is on slot3 🙈😥🤔) https://github.com/syncrobit/chameleonos/blob/104e5842e597caf6da386aed3e2064c0829ac161/board/common/overlay/etc/init.d/S31hwdetect
