rfc2217ServerPort issue

realJoshByrnes commented 1 year ago

Not sure where to put this as there doesn't seem to be a repo for the Wokwi VSCode Extension, but it relates the the rp2040js as that's the component I'm having issues with.

wokwi.toml

[wokwi]
version = 1
firmware = './firmware/kaluma-rp2-pico-1.1.0-beta.1.uf2'
elf = ''
rfc2217ServerPort = 4000

diagram.json

{
  "version": 1,
  "author": "Josh Byrnes",
  "editor": "wokwi",
  "parts": [
    {
      "type": "wokwi-pi-pico",
      "id": "pico",
      "top": 0,
      "left": 0,
      "attrs": { "env": "kaluma-1.0.0" }
    }
  ]
}

Issue

Current setup involves Wokwi Simular (VSCode) containing only a rPi Pico, and Kaluma (JS) firmware.

Whilst a connection can be established and REPL works as expected, it appears that some binary data is lost/encoded, causing a kaluma flash to never end. Everything else works as expected.

Notes:

Kaluma works fine with real hardware via the COM port
I have tried with multiple RFC2217 software such as Perle's Trueport (recommended) and Electronic Team's Serial to Ethernet Converter (commercial)

Thanks for reporting!

Can you try removing the "env": "kaluma-1.0.0" attr from the diagram?

The "env" might confuse Wokwi and it will end up doing the wrong thing

Just tried and it results in the same issue. I can only think it's directly a RFC2217 encoding issue (are you decoding UTF8 on an ASCII protocol?). Unfortunately, I couldn't find the source to investigate further.

P.S. The console looks so much nicer with env set to kaluma-1.0.0!

RFC2217 encoding issue is not very likely, since we got esptool to work over RFC2217 and flash a simulated ESP chip successfully. Can you share your entire setup in a GitHub repo so I can have a look?

Nicer console - are you referring to the terminal? You can achieve this by setting "display" to "terminal": https://docs.wokwi.com/guides/serial-monitor#display

OS is Windows 11

VSCode with the Wokwi extension and the above config files (listens on TCP port 4000)
Perle Trueport installed, with a client forwarding COM3 to TCP port 4000
Kaluma CLI installed using npm install -g @kaluma/cli (requires nodejs)

Firmware can be downloaded from https://kalumajs.org/download/

A simple index.js could just contain

console.log('Hello world');

Now, from the command line, we should be able to run the following

$ kaluma flash ./index.js --bundle --shell --COM3

Update: couldn't get Trueport to work here. I'll try a different method and report.

I did post another software above, but it's only free for 14 days or similar. https://www.eltima.com/products/serial-over-ethernet/

Closing, as I wasn't able to reproduce the issue.
