SOTACAT and KX will stop talking to each other after a long period #11

Closed jeffkowalski closed 7 months ago

Brian states: Another regent regression is that the SOTACAT and KX will stop talking to each other after a long period. I think this happens after the SOTACAT reboots due to the prior stack overflow issue/crash because the Blue light comes on solid (meaning no connection to the radio during auto-baud-rate negotiation). The SOTACAT will try forever to connect and fails to do so. But something else is odd: if there is no connection to the radio after booting the device should go to deep sleep after 1 minute. This sleep code works if you turn on your SOTACAT and lay it on your desk without a radio attached. But after a crash reboot the behavior changes. It might be that the light gets left on after a crash. I don’t know. Regardless, the only way to restore operation after this is to turn the radio off and back on again. Unplugging SOTACAT and re-plugging doesn’t help. So something is also happening on the radio side such that it refuses to listen to the serial port at some point. Possible dup of #3?

@brianmathews, would you kindly comment on whether this is a dup of #3 ?

brianmathews commented 7 months ago

I don't know but I think this is actually 2 bugs:

  1. A bug that causes a reboot. Might be bug #10.
  2. A but that causes boot message from UART to KX to cause KX to lock up (bug #2).

Now that #10 has been fixed, are we still seeing this issue?

jeffkowalski commented 7 months ago

I never experienced the issue, so I can't say for sure. I originally opened this issue just to capture your initial comment. If you feel this is fixed, or perhaps simply vaguely duplicative of #10 and #2, then please close it. We can always open a new issue with more concrete info and steps to reproduce.

I do think this is a duplicate of #10 and/or #2 so I am closing this one.
