    I wonder how they compiled for win32... I use it (esptool-ck windows version) in my dos batch file I posted earlier in this thread.

    It seems safer just to use esptool-ck since we have the sources for that and it just links with standard C libraries.

    Sounds good! I don't even know if esptool.py provides any REAL benefit over esptool-ck.

    The Makefile has instructions for building it under Windows. I just don't have time to install the cross tools to do it. If someone else wants to try, I'd be happy to merge their changes.

    @"Clock Loop" I just pushed changes to build esptool-ck, add it to the release folder, and use it in the flash scripts. Please check to see if this works for you.


    YOU DID IT ALL!!!!! I didn't need to edit a single file.

    GIT to flash! Like a nice wrapped up gift presented on a silver platter, NICE JOB, Thank you.!

    Now that the build problems are resolved, what is the status of the firmware itself. What problems have people noticed?
  • David BetzDavid Betz Posts: 14,516
    BTW, in case it isn't obvious, the Parallax-ESP build assumes a 2MB module. Even if the actual module is 4MB, only the first 2MB is used. This is because Parallax had some 2MB and some 4MB modules and I'm not sure if any of the 2MB modules made it into the field other than prototypes so we are being conservative.

    I posted this earlier in this thread, but I will repost.

    I have more bad news.
    When powering on any of my esp's (they all have the working firmware from the last working commit) and then connecting to them in ap mode.
    When I navigate to the Networks page the module will do a hard crash and restart.
    It will only do this when you first access the network page after it powers on, repeated accessing the page will not crash the module.

    Heres the debug pin output. From power on, you can see where it crashes.
    It has a E:M 2056 and a E:M 2096, I don't normally see those.
    This is the parallax WX esp8266 module.
    When it crashes, my webbrowser times out, my pc immediately reconnects(like it didn't even disconnect to the ap)
    And I then click the esp address bookmark again and then the network page, and it doesn't crash.

    I can try and flash an earlier firmware to see if it does the same.

    I did just that, I flashed using an old build I saved of commit (a5bcb63)
    https://github.com/parallaxinc/Parallax-ESP/commit/a5bcb63560c3be18806231ba25700cf70a0f6f3a

    Because i cannot get the old commit from github to build properly (wtf?)

    I flashed it to the parallax WX module, and I cannot get it to crash at first boot on the wifi page no matter what I try.
    The older firmware seems to choke a bit in ap mode when you join it.

    I am now going to try to flash the NEW firmware with the new esptool.py instead of the old c version, to see if the new firmware still crashes.

    It could be the new boot v1.7, I can try using the older 1.6 after I test with the newer esptool.py.
    Clock Loop wrote: »
    I can confirm that the new firmware is causing this crash issue, and it is not on the old firmware, or I cannot re-create it on the old firmware.

    I even set the new esptool.py to use 4MB for the flash (instead of 2MB)

    I don't see the exact same error/crash output though.
    I only see 49711> E:M 2096
    So programming with the full 4MB flash, stoped one of the E:M errors?

    Could this be related to your ram space concern or what you had called it.

    I have posted the new and old firmware files, with all the script / batch file and data files needed to program any esp in windows or linux in my thread.

    The new firmware:

    The old firmware:

    This should make it easy for users to test both.

    Did I find a command mode POLL bug?

    I figured out I kinda did, I called ser.str(string("POLL")) WITHOUT a COLON. :
    The module responds with a Reply: '=N,0,0'
    When it should respond with a Reply: '=E,1' ?



    Heres the poll command I sent in TEXT FORM. 
      ser.tx(254)  'Begin marker
  ser.str(string("POLL"))   'Tell the module to listen to ANY protocol/path.
  ser.tx(13)    'End marker


    Heres the poll command in TOKEN FORM. 
      ser.tx(254)  'Begin marker
  ser.str(string($EC))   'Tell the module to listen to ANY protocol/path.
  ser.tx(13)    'End marker

    When in TEXT FORM, i get NO reply, but TOKEN FORM, I get a reply.
    Am I doing something wrong in TEXT FORM?

    You can use the html HERE to prove it. (upload this html to your ParallaxWX module --> https://github.com/parallaxinc/propeller/blob/master/libraries/community/p1/All/WX ESP8266 SPIN Get Started/val-from-micro.html

    ALL of the example code located here: https://github.com/parallaxinc/propeller/tree/master/libraries/community/p1/All/WX ESP8266 SPIN Get Started

    The token and the command string shouldn't work differently. I'll take a look at this.

    Another thing I thought of is that there is a "patch" program that gets used to patch the boot binary before it is put into the release folder. Is it possible that the locations that are patched needs to change when moving from boot_v1.6.bin and boot_v1.7.bin?

    I was going to ask you about that "patch" and what it did, it concerned me.

    You may be right because I just crashed the module again by overloading the available handlers.
    I used the html code posted above (val-from-micro.html)
    And the spin code above (with the correct POLL: command)
    And I hit the update button, many times when the module was NOT in command mode.

    I just did the same test with a serial console and it works the same for text version as token version.

    I can't get my ESP to fail on startup on the Network page. How do you reproduce this problem again.

    What prop code are you using?

    If you are using something connected directly to the module (like a PropPlug) and issuing serial terminal commands, how are you entering Command Mode?

    After power up of the module, you connect to it when its already in AP mode. (its in this mode if you freshly flash it with flash-all.sh / .bat)
    Then when you visit the wifi page, the debug port will show it crashed and rebooted.

    Are you compiling it yourself? Or did you use my zip?

    Did you use the latest git of Parallax-ESP code?

    Are you viewing the debug (DBG) (IO2) pin on the parallax ESP module?

    Okay, here is what is going on with POLL. If you use "POLL:", the parser thinks that you passed one parameter after the colon which is the empty string. It converts that to an integer to form the channel mask and ends up with zero. That is why you get an "N" response, no channels with activity match the zero mask. The parser isn't very smart. I guess it could check to see if there are any digits in the argument before calling atoi. On the other hand, you should probably be able to just use "POLL" without the colon. That would result in a 0xffffffff mask which would catch activity on any channel.

    That would let the code work properly in the spin examples in the obex then. (except for them all missing the break to enter command mode)

    The "patch" program patches the SPI mode and speed and the flash size into the boot image. This is something that is done by esptool.py but not by esptool-ck. At least that was true of esptool.py at the time that I wrote the code.

    If you have a version that skips the patch, i can test with esptool.py. Or tell me what code to comment out to make a non-patch file.

    I have a dongle that I use to program the ESP module and have it connected to XCTU software which has a terminal program that allows sending packets of text or binary data to test each of the different commands.

    I don't know what do tell you, i can't see what you are ACTUALLY sending to the module, i can't snoop your TX/RX, but if you hook up a prop and run my code, you will see that POLL without a colon doesn't work properly, you will get a Reply: '=N,0,0' when you setup a "LISTEN:HTTP,/tpfm" And then activate the listen with your webpage.
  • David BetzDavid Betz Posts: 14,516
    I just added some debug code and it looks like "POLL" and "POLL:" produce the same channel mask, 0xffffffff and hence they should behave identically. Are you not seeing that?

    Geez. Im loosing my mind, now I am seeing it reply properly with 'POLL'

    What led me onto this is this POLL command. 
            ser.tx(254)  'Begin marker
        ser.str(string("POLL:HTTP,/tpfm"))   'Tell the module to listen to a specific path on http port 80.
        ser.tx(13)    'End marker
    It replies with '=N,0,0'

    I was probably formatting my filter wrong? But I don't know if that wrong filter, put the module into a bug state.
    And I tried that and cannot repeat it, now I see why you and iseries are not seeing it.
    I also don't know if this is a bug that only shows up after the very first flash-all boot, I will try to recreate it if I can.

    Oh well, on ward!

    About that patch....

    Poll takes a numeric argument which which is interpreted as a mask that indicates which of the connections to listen to. This command is likely interpreted as a zero mask and the alpha characters are ignored. 
    ser.str(string("POLL:HTTP,/tpfm"))   'Tell the module to listen to a specific path on http port 80.

    Yea I don't know, why i cannot recreate my issue, and I had the problem for DAYS until I formatted the POLL properly,
    and THEN it still showed up with just POLL, until I used POLL: and then I cannot even recreate the issue.
    I hate this. (oh but i love it)
    Its like willy wonkas, "theres no way of knowing which way we are going"

    After running some test scripts through the unit I discovered that my UDP changes got removed from the sscp.c program and hence no UDP.

    I put them back in and it works now.

    I haven't even gotten around to using UDP for anything ... YET.. So I didn't test this functionality.

    I've put quite a bit of time in on this over the long holiday weekend. Unfortunately, I'm back to work tomorrow and probably won't be able to do much other than merge pull requests for a while. Is there any other serious problem that needs addressing today?

    I do have 2.

    The version number on the Home page of the module configuration. It always says 1.0 even with all these new changes.
    And the date only reflects the compile date, so it doesn't help one to determine the version of software the module is running.

    With the change to the HOSTNAME, and the addition of the ability to change what pin the RESET signal comes from on the module, those changes would merit a 2.0 or something.

    So everything PAST this commit in 2016, should say 2.0? (but changing all that previous code to reflect this, isn't gonna happen?)
    https://github.com/parallaxinc/Parallax-ESP/tree/d8c785eb616226c809348c2a892d071fd27cb952


    And everything PAST this commit in 2020, should say 3.0? (but changing all that previous code to reflect this, isn't gonna happen?)
    https://github.com/parallaxinc/Parallax-ESP/tree/a5bcb63560c3be18806231ba25700cf70a0f6f3a
    So wouldn't it be wise to START changing the version with all these MAJOR updates and sdk changes?
    (yea yea, i know, where was i in 2016?)


    If we cannot change the previous code version to reflect the changes, how can I do it for my own compiles of previous code? (what code do i change?)



    2. Instructions on how to compile previous code would be nice, because when I try to checkout previous commits before the new sdk, I get a bad upload to the module, the TX light just blinks rapidly. I am doing something wrong when I change the head... is it related to the sub modules?

    Maybe i need to do a 'git reset --hard <hash-or-ref>' and then git submodule init and git submodule update?
    I just tried to do a git reset --hard <hash-or-ref>' and then git submodule init and git submodule update, then compiled it all, and flashed the esp, and it DOES work, so I was doing it wrong by not doing a --hard.
