Sonoff 1M OTA Flash not possible

fly74 commented 5 years ago

OTA flash from ESP_Easy_mega-20190731_minimal_core_252_ESP8285_1M_OTA.bin ist not possible:

http://ESP/update shows only:

URI: /update Method: GET Arguments: 0

and ESP_Easy_mega-20190803_minimal_core_252_ESP8285_1M_OTA.bin seems to big with over 604 kb for 2way flash

uzi18 commented 5 years ago

yes as described, flash is too small in your esp, you can try 2 step flashing

fly74 commented 5 years ago

but the upload button only show the message:

URI: /update Method: GET Arguments: 0

so the 2 way flash cant be used. No filepicker is shown.

TD-er commented 5 years ago

Hmm, that's strange. The build script has a check in it to not include binary files which are too big for OTA on 1M devices. So an OTA file which appears to be too large after compiling should not be present in the download ZIP.

Can you give the values shown on the sysinfo page? Maybe I made some error in the estimate on ESP8285 nodes.

Hope it helps.

I updated your post to make it more readable. Just a tip for any next time. If you paste the text from the web page directly into the Github text window you will get proper formatting. After that you can wipe out any info you think needs to be removed.

About the reported sketch size. It is way more than 604 k which is about the max ota images may be

Found the bug, will fix it.

Hi! I use son off ch4. If i pressed to Tools/Update firmware i can see: URI: /update Method: GET Arguments: 0 I want update the sonoff use ESPEasy_2step_UploaderMega_1024.bin but i can't select the file for update because i has the page after press Update firmware button.

You're missing the most crucial part of the system information, the "sketch size". I guess the size of that bin is too large to perform an OTA. The filename of the current firmware doesn't have "minimal OTA" in the name, so it is very likely too large to fit along with the 2-step OTA bin.

But i not selected the file. I press the button and after it i see the error.

TD-er commented 4 years ago

Hmm I don't understand what you mean. If a 2-step OTA will not fit, there is also no "update firmware" button to press (it is not enabled). So can you post a screenshot of where you press the button and also the exact error?

Ok. I make an video. https://dropmefiles.com/D2fKx

TD-er commented 4 years ago

Ah OK. Just a last check, can you show the reported sketch size (and flash size) from the sysinfo page? (almost at the bottom of the page)

OK, so the real bug here is that the upgrade firmware button should have been disabled as it is not possible to perform an OTA update on this setup with the current active build.

I want flash - ESPEasy_2step_UploaderMega_1024.bin after it i want flas - ESP_Easy_mega_20201009_normal_ESP8285_1M.bin I can't do it?

TD-er commented 4 years ago

Nope, as the size of the 2nd bin you want to flash is too big for 1M flash.

for the 2-step OTA, you need to store both simultaneous on the flash (which will not fit) and also keep the SPIFFS filesystem.

So the max. size of a bin to perform a 2-step OTA is 600 kB.

I can't update it using wireless methods?

TD-er commented 4 years ago

That is correct. It simply will not fit using the build you are currently running.

userosos commented 4 years ago

What kind of firmware should I fill up to have a wireless upgrade and normal everyday work?

userosos commented 4 years ago

I can see that size of the ESPEasy_2step_UploaderMega_1024.bin is 276 kB. I think that 276 kb< 600 Kb. What is this?

TD-er commented 4 years ago

The 2-step update image is only capable of performing an update. Nothing else.

Use case:

Install an image like the "minimal OTA" builds.
Perform OTA with the 2-step uploader image
Perform OTA with the new "minimal OTA" build.

The 2-step uploader is 276 kB, the file system slightly less than 128k. So there is 1020k - 276k - 128k => roughly 600k free with the 2-step image active. If the "minimal OTA" bin is active, then there is roughly 276k free.

TL;DR

With "minimal OTA" bin active, you can ONLY flash the 2-step updater bin.
With the 2-step updater bin there is only room for "minimal OTA" bin files.
With any other flashed bin file, there is NO ROOM for any known existing bin image (on an 1M flash)

What diffirents bitween minimal and normal builds? Where minimal builds? Thx for helipng!

TD-er commented 4 years ago

They should be included in the ZIP files of the nightly build. However, there is a check in the build script to see if they will fit anyway and if they don't, then they will not be included in the ZIP.

Also recently there is an issue with building variants using an older Arduino core library version (which is smaller) so those are not included for the last month or so (core 2.4.x builds) Just checked and at least this one has a "minimal OTA" build included: https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/releases/tag/mega-20200829
