Reboot Loop after first "Reboot"

[byt3w4rri0r]

Hello, I've come across your project and first of all… wow - thanks to all contributors for your hard work!

Unfortunately, I stumbled across the following error:

Whats my Hardware: NodeMCU Amica

What Firmaware: 0.7.6

What have I done: I used the Arduino Sketch "WebUpdate" to upload and install the "firmware.bin" file. - NO PROBLEM!

First strange things: The first thing I noticed is that the Firmware.bin creates a "FaryLink WiFi-Network" wich the NodeMCU itself is instantly connecting to (selfconnected device) - so there is no "esp-rfid-network", but no problem the FaryLink-Network works fine. After first Login to the Frontend i change all my settings and reboot the NodeMCU and the following "Error-Log" is shown in the Serial Monitor and even if I redo the whole procedure there is no chance to get into the Frontend again and i need to try another NodeMCU to get into the Frontend once:

What have I tried already: 4 different NodeMCUs (The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.) 2 different Power Supplys 2 different MACs (no Windows-PC available) 2 Different WiFi Networks 1 Reboot without changing Config at all

Maybe someone could help.

That quote from Einstein made me smile, Which version are you trying (release binary or pre-compiled binary in bin directory?) Also, this FaryLink WiFi-Network indicates that variables from SDK may still be available on flash, so use erase.bat to completely erase flash.

[byt3w4rri0r]

Hello,

I used the latest stable release bin (0.7.6), the "erase.bat" only works on Windows I assume. But thanks for your suggestion, that's I think also the case if I just re-upload the firmware the "config file" is found somewhere magically. thx wbr leo

[omersiar]

erase.bat simply flashes empty 4mb binary to device, you can do it in various way, this will ensure there is nothing left from previous firmwares.

[Daquaney]

I am having the exact same problem

[byt3w4rri0r]

Hello omersiar,

unfortunately did the "4mb Empty bin" not solve my problem, i used the "NodeMCU PyFlasher for MAC" to flash the empty bin file, after that I installed the Firmware.bin again and the right WiFi apeared, but after the first changes in the Frontend i am Stuck in the same "Reboot-Loop" as before.

"Cause 2" means "Reset-Pin", could also mean insufficient power supply but on all 4 NodeMCUs seems a bit unbelievable. I will try a 9v Power Supply today.

Hello omersiar,

i found the bug which causes the reboot loop on the nodeMCU, as soon as i slekect the MFC522 as Hardware the NodeMCU gets stuck in the Reboot Loop.

PS: i used your "update function" and after the update the interface states 0.7.5 as Firmware even if i upload the 0.7.6 firmware.

wbr Leo

[omersiar]

Oh it makes sense now, there is a bug with the MFRC522 initialization code if the device is not connected properly. I do not know if this caused by library level (both SPI or MFRC522) or by esp-rfid code.

Also i messed up with the binaries on latest 0.7.6 release, i will prepare a new release in a couple of days.

Hi omersiar, I have recently downloaded the new V8.0 firmware and am having the same boot loop as before.

Hello Daquaney,

what RFID Reader do you use? Is it properly connected?

I have the Rc522, and I believe I have wired it correctly, I will re-wire it just to double check and get back to you shortly.

[Daquaney]

It worked, thanks I had the reset wire on gnd by accident.
