ESP8266-01 module problem with Sming 3.7.1

[kwis2]

I have problems to run programs on ESP8266-01 modules. None of my programs, which worked on Sming 3.4 not run with version 3.7.1. Of course I have modified it and succesfully compile, but module do not start to run. The only response I got it was after manual reset

manual reset after some time

I have compiled Basic_Blink example and got infinite loop of wdt resets. My module ESP8266-01 with 1M flash, Windows 10 with sming installed by choco. I have tried different settings - below is 512k and GPIO skip. None of flashinit, Sming make didn't help. I think it is rBoot ESP8266-01 setting problem.

Which SDK are you using? For me only SDK 3.0 worked in the end.

Maybe this can help: https://github.com/SmingHub/Sming/issues/1570

[kwis2]

With SDK 2.0.0 with Basic_Blink I got: when I set 1M flash as my ESP8266-01 module

chksum 0x38 load 0x3ffe8000, len 632, room 8 tail 0 chksum 0x5f csum 0x5f

rBoot v1.4.2 - richardaburton@gmail.com Flash Size: 8 Mbit Flash Mode: QIO Flash Speed: 40 MHz

Booting rom 0. ota1 not set ota2 not set p 101 and p 4 covered: addr:0x2000 + len:0xfe000 > 0xfb000 system_partition_table_regist: failed size_map = 2 partition[0]: 1, 0x00000000, 0x00001000 partition[1]: 100, 0x00001000, 0x00001000 partition[2]: 101, 0x00002000, 0x000fe000 partition[3]: 4, 0x000fb000, 0x00001000 partition[4]: 5, 0x000fc000, 0x00001000 partition[5]: 6, 0x000fd000, 0x00003000

so I decided to set 512k

There is no difference between SDK 2.0.0 and one included with Sming. I have checked 3.7.1 and develop branches. There were no difference. For now I am not able to compile SDK 3.0.0. In my opinion it is another settings problem

@kwis2 With SDK 3 looks like overlapping sectors in the partition table! Could be same problem for other SDKs, needs a closer look. For now, try editing $(SMING_HOME)/appinit/user_main.cpp line 108 and change MAX_PROGRAM_SECTORS - 2 to MAX_PROGRAM_SECTORS - 8, then make for Sming and app.

I am trying to install esp-open-sdk with #1570 method. after make VENDOR_SDK=3.0.0 STANDALONE=y I got

The only way I found to make Sming to work it is to compile esp-open-sdk with make VENDOR_SDK=2.0.0 STANDALONE=y then Sming develop compile with make ENABLE_CMD_EXECUTOR=0 VENDOR_SDK=3.0.0 what in fact mean SDK 2.0.0. When I add export SDK_BASE=/opt/Sming/Sming/third-party/ESP8266_NONOS_SDK/ I got:

Another issue is that I have ESP-01 module with 1M flash (p25q80 chip) and only way to run code is to set flash to 512. When I set 1M I got as below. What in my opinion mean programming OK, but something wrong with memory setup for this module.

I have tried Basic_Webskeleton example with ESP8266-01 module (1M flash not working - set 512k) program compiled succesfully but problem with programming. I don't exactly know what could it mean WARNING: Unlikely to work as data goes beyond end of flash. Hint: Use --flash_size but in my opinion it is some problems with memory settings ?

Wrote 327680 bytes at 0x2000 in 28.5 seconds (92.1 kbit/s)... WARNING: Unlikely to work as data goes beyond end of flash.

1MB is not enough to hold the bootloader, its config, the actual ROM, the system config and the minimal file system.

In our code we are quite optimistic and assume that 512K for Spiffs should fit.

else ifeq ($(SPI_SIZE), 1M)
        flashimageoptions += -fs 8m
        SPIFF_SIZE ?= 524288  #512K

What you can do is choose a smaller size for spiffs. Try recompiling the application using the following:

cd %SMING_HOME%/../samples/HttpServer_WebSockets
set SPIFF_SIZE=131072
make clean
make 

; The command below should be called once and will set the system config data
make flashinit 

make flash

Give it a try and paste the output.

and finally got infinite loop of

The infinite loop is happening IMHO because the spiffs are not fully written and in addition overlap the system config.

[slaff]

Should be fixed in the latest develop with the introduction of partition tables #2171.
