Can't get it working for ESPEasy 2.0 and ESP8285

lhurt commented 6 years ago

Hi, I love the idea of your wrapper and would like to use them on my Sonoff Touch switches which are based on ESP8285. Due to the size of the firmware I have to use the two step approach.

Unfortunately even the first upload step fails. The concerning device runs ESPEasy 2.0.0-dev12.

The image compiles after removing -DUSE_CUSTOM_H from the options. Otherwise the build fails because I have no custom parts. The wizard finds my device and I can retrieve information from it, like version. But the upload fails with the following lines

I've tried to start this manually and telnet connects on port 47070.

Any idea?

Here are the relevant parts of my config.php

$cfg['repos']['espeasy']['path_repo']                           ="/opt/ESPEasy/";

$my_espeasy_flags ='-DBUILD_DEV=\"'.$my_build.'\" -DMY_IP=\"{{host_ip}}\" -DMY_AP_IP={{host_ip1}},{{host_ip2}},{{host_ip3}},{{host_ip4}} -DMY_NAME=\"{{host_name}}\" -DMY_UNIT={{host_ip4}}';

$cfg['hosts']['sonoff_touch']['config']         ="espeasy_1024_8285";

Any help is appreciated

I'm currently working on a fix for one of my small 1M devices. I'm faced with a similar issue that prevents OTA to work on latest ESPEasy dev firmwares.

To verify if it is the same issue, try to monitor your ESP on SerialPort espbuddy.php monitor sonoff_touch espeasy_1024_8285 -v --rate=115200 --port=/dev/xxx

while starting an OTA upload on another console: espbuddy.php upload sonoff_touch espeasy_1024_8285 -vb

If this is the same issue, you should see a message saying OTA : Error (will reboot): Begin Failed

BTW in order to get OTA working, your current running firmware MUST have be compiled with the FEATURE_ARDUINO_OTA defined, ie:

$my_espeasy_flags=''-DFEATURE_ARDUINO_OTA; or de-commented in the ESPEASY.ino file.

You can verify on the boot log in the serial console that you really have a message saying: OTA : Arduino OTA enabled on port 8266

Hi, thanks for the reply. As I flashed the precompiled firmware on the Touch device I assume that the option was disabled.

Btw. How to I monitor the serial port (on Windows)? Do I have to wire the ESP to the USB TTL converter? I never did that before.

Thanks

Yes Option is disabled by default

How to I monitor the serial port (on Windows)? Do I have to wire the ESP to the USB TTL converter?

yep or you can monitor serial directly on the web , or on a syslog server (see ESPeasy avanced setting about this)

Hi, now I'm pretty confused. I recompiled ESPEasy with OTA enabled. On reboot the console reads "OTA : Arduino OTA enabled on port 8266". But telnet to this port results in "connection refused" and manual execution of espota.py says "No response from device".

Any idea what to do?

soif commented 6 years ago

you certainly need to provide the login/password

lhurt commented 6 years ago

I didn't set any

lhurt commented 6 years ago

I don't use espurna. I'm using ESPEasy.

soif commented 6 years ago

sorry my bad

lhurt commented 6 years ago

I'll recompile and test again. May be I did something wrong. I used the EspBuddy build script. May be I should use Arduino IDE,

soif commented 6 years ago

this may be because the firmware you try to upload is too large:

Connect to the Web GUI of the intermediate firmware (if it has been succefully uploaded), read the max size for flash, then compare it to the firmware size. if firmware is larger, espota.py fails with a message that dont explain that at all..

BTW use EspBuddy to upload, not EspOta.py directly

soif commented 6 years ago

Also be sure to use the LATEST EspBuddy, and take a look at the new config-sample

lhurt commented 6 years ago

OK, one step forward.

After recompiling the dev-12 firmware with OTA enabled again and flashing it to my Sonoff Touch the upload of the intermediate image was successful.

The relevant output of EspBuddy is

Unfortunately the intermediate image somehow doesn't connect to wifi.

Any idea why?

I can reflash it with my dev-12 firmware and start over but this is the point where I'm stuck right now. And yes I'm using the HEAD version. But it seems to be an issue with the minimal intermediate image.

Thanks for being patient.

soif commented 6 years ago

log seems to show that the image is crashing. It might also be due to the Spiffs settings being corrupted. I might advise to first re uload a recent image using serial, with a prior flash erase espbuddy upload espeasy_1024_8285 -vbwe (b=vuild, w=serial, e=erase first) then, once you have set your wifi settings in espeasy, after a hardware reboot, try to re-upload the same firmware OTA, using the intermediate step.

espbuddy upload espeasy_1024_8285 -v

If it crashes again, that would mean there may be an issue with intermediate firmware on ESP8265.

Thanks for the tests

PS: you can always open a second terminal session during the OTA with 👍 espbuddy monitor espeasy_1024_8285 -v to see what's going on.

lhurt commented 6 years ago

Next obstacle

After erasing the flash completely and flashing a release version of the ESPEasy firmware I had to enable OTA in the advanced settings.

But the firmware reboots as soon as the intermediate image is about to be uploaded.

May be this is an issue with the firmware or I just do something wrong. But I just compile the ESP with OTA support enabled.

My ESPeasy version was mega-20180228

I'm about to give up.

soif commented 6 years ago

Sometimes OTA fails the first time (so it reboots) and you have to insist.

Also the 'mega' branch is supposed to be large, so if you don't strip it down by removing a lot of plugins, it can simply not work, because there is not enough size for the 2 firmwares.

You have to first check that : firmware size + intermediate firmware size + Spiff size < 1M

see:
https://www.letscontrolit.com/wiki/index.php/ESPEasy#2.0.2B_firmware_on_1MB_modules

lhurt commented 6 years ago

I'm aware of that. My build is 605kb of size which should work. BTW. When testing the procedure described in the article I already bricked one device.

the upload and reboot of the intermediate image worked fine
the upload of the new large image did not.

I don't require automation for the update but a working process (read firmware would help) It seems to me that the ESP8285 is a little special compared to the ESP 8266 although it's claimed that it has only flash included in the package.

soif commented 6 years ago

605kb is TOO MUCH !!!!

when you connect (using web) to the intermediate firmware (the one linked in the wiki), it shows : Max sketch size: 604kB
when you connect (using web) to MY intermediate firmware (the one bundled with EspBuddy), it shows : Max sketch size: 592kB

This IS your (first) issue !

You MUST make tests with SMALLER firmwares : remove most of the plugins, then build.

In my case removing the followings :

produces a 590kb firmware (on today mega branch). But you should even remove more plugins , (just to be sure that the size is small enough), as most are really not needed for your own device.

BTW I had a problem similar to yours for one of my esp8266 which hanguped during the final OTA. :bug:

I finally re-built the intermediate firmware using different compilation settings, and this fixed the issue for both of my boards. I even tried to flash with a 8285 firmware and it also worked. 🎉 🎉

So I suggest you to retry with the latest v1.75. It might fix your issue too ! 😸

To be sure that the test is correct please do things in the following order.

1) be sure in the git repo to have a smaller ESPEasy version, then : espbuddy upload espeasy_1024_8285 -vweb (serial upload, wipe before, build first)

2) Set OTA on in the advanced settings, then reboot

3) espbuddy upload espeasy_1024_8285 -v (to re-upload the same firmware OTA) Opening a serial monitor (in a second window) during this step would help to understand what is happening espbuddy monitor espeasy_1024_8285

If it doesn't work : Try to power off / power on the device after step 3 is completed (sometimes it helps) else retry all from scratch

lhurt commented 6 years ago

You're great. Thanks for your patience very much. Now it worked. I added some addtional modules to the list and my firmware was down to 550k. After that everything worked like a charm.

Thanks very much.

May be you can help me with two additional questions.

Is there a way to modify the $my_espeasy_flags variable to add a list of plugins not to compile?
Is it possible to modify existing Sonoffs without flashing them manually. E.g. by uploading the intermediate firmware via Web Interface, enable OTA and then do the upload of the new firmware via the espota.py command?

Thanks very much.

soif commented 6 years ago

🎉 Happy that you finally succeeded to use EspBuddy!!! While ALL of your issues was not especially related to EspBuddy itself ...

1) I can't master that myself : It's related to ESPEasy itself : ask them for a BUILD method to enable/disable plugins on built (a very USEFUL feature IMHO)

2) I'm not sure to understand what exactly is your question.....

lhurt commented 6 years ago

Thanks for the fast reply. Yes I know 95% of the errors sit in front of the screen :-)

To question 2. I have a number of sonoff touch switches running vanilla ESPEasy dev-12 (without OTA). I'd like to update them and don't like the idea to remove them from the wall, hooking them up and reflashing them. So my idea was to upload the intermediate firmware of EspBuddy via ESPEasy web interface and after reboot the should be OTA flashable. Then espota.py or a configuration with the two step process disabled of EspBuddy could do the rest. It would be just good to get a confirmation of you if this is a feasible approach?

BTW. By disabling a ton of plugins my firmware is now 487344 bytes. This should be small enough to do the upgrade in one step. Right? Interested in the list?

soif commented 6 years ago

2) Yes you should be able to upload my intermediate firmware, then either update OTA, either upload using the builtin webserver. EspBuddy can skip the first step just by adding the -s, but it wont hurt if you'd do the 2 steps starting from the manually uploaded intermediate firmware.

Interested in the list?

for sure

lhurt commented 6 years ago

Thanks. One more thing. Is it possible to define more than one espeasy repository in espbuddy's config.php? I want to create scripted copies of the original ESPEasy firmware with different plugin configurations. As far as I understand, currently only one espeasy repository is supported. Correct?

soif commented 6 years ago

yep

BTW I will soon add a 'checkout' host parameter , so that you could use different branches / host or configs , and checkout theses branches in each upload. Hence solving your issue

BTW in order to get OTA working, your current running firmware MUST have be compiled with the FEATURE_ARDUINO_OTA defined, ie:

$my_espeasy_flags=''-DFEATURE_ARDUINO_OTA; or de-commented in the ESPEASY.ino file.

Not sure about above comment ^^, I fixed OTA on my Sonoff Basic devices, using an initial uploader and modified firmware. I did not need to recompile anything to make it work such as - enable OTA It works really, really well - over 99% of the time, first time it just works.. The 1% just needs a second try to work. ;) I can flash my Sonoff from R78 - R148 to v2.0.0-dev4 - v2.0.0-dev13 & even latest Mega releases (although very latest maybe now getting too large) However I did modify all firmwares to ensure they worked correctly.. And... I do use the devices web-page... ota

Do you mean you need to 'enable ota' to 'push' the update via http ? Cheers

No as stated this was needed to get OTA working.

Ok curious, for me with my 1M Sonoff Basics, with DOUT uploader & modified original releases, it works perfect through the browser "Tools -> Firmware -> Load" without recompiling. Thanks for your response, still learning
