[SOLVED] latest git-snapshot causes freezes

cimba007

Only thing I can say so far is that this method-call causes the freez:

Hardware setup:

node = 1mhz arduino pro mini (internal osciallator) with jboard and nrf24
gateway = esp8266

the node is connected to an i2c adxl345 acceleration sensor

 send(_message,true);

whole project:

node-debug-log:0_1475363295558_adxl345_vibrationtest_fabo_rf.rar

You can see that the output stops while flushing an millis output ...

I am using my own milliseconds-wrapper but this should make no difference. I can say that the freezes occurs within 1-5minutes with the setup from the attached file.

I speed up the process of the loop to better reproduce the error. I noticed that the hangup occurs somewhere during the end of the loop. In addition to that he freeze does not occur if I send no messages to the gateway/controller at all but do only internal processing.

Tomorrow I might clean up my sketch and try a minimal setup and reproduce the hangup.

One possibility I am looking into is a interference of:

TWBR = 0;

At the same time I got a random gateway crash:

@cimba007 You are living on the bleeding edge Please provide additional information such as HW setup and debug logs of both, GW and node. Thanks

tekka

@cimba007 Please post new messages instead of editing previous post - this makes it easier in terms of understanding and following the chronology of the thread.

cimba007

Okay .. I am currently investigating:

TWBR = 0;

Might be somehow related as removing it causes no hangups so far...maybe I am seeing things with the newest snapshots Strangely the code was working fine until I added the mysensor-part ...

wopps .. again

264273 MCO:SLP:TPD<\n>
264290 MCO:SLP:WUP=1<\n>
.30

So i2c-speed is probably unrelated .. as even after commeting the TWBR = 0; out the hangup repeated.

Next I will try to remove the acceleration-sensor readings ...

cimba007

And again ...

But this time at a differenct part ...

  fabo3axis.readIntStatus();
  sleep(digitalPinToInterrupt(3),RISING,16);

Removing this as well ..

cimba007

and .. again ..

76038 TSF:MSG:ACK<\n>

My loop currently looks like this:

void loop() { 

  motionSensor.set(1);  motionSensor.waitsend(50);
  /*
  uint8_t s = fabo3axis.readIntStatus();
  if(ADXL345_INT_ACTIVITY & s){
    Serial.print("activity ");
    Serial.println(millis());
    motionSensor.set(1);  motionSensor.waitsend(50);
  }
  else
  {
    Serial.println(s,HEX);
    motionSensor.set(0);  motionSensor.waitsend(50);
  }
  */
  Serial.println("prepare to sleep");
  Serial.flush();
  
  // Pending Int-Stati might prevent interrupt!
  //fabo3axis.readIntStatus();
  sleep(digitalPinToInterrupt(3),RISING,16);
  
  // helper.h
  //extern unsigned long millis_offset;
  millis_offset += 16;
  Serial.print(".");
  Serial.println(mymillis());
}

All referencec to the acceleration sensor removed .. the interrupt should not trigger as the interrupt-register is not "cleard" by issuing the readIntStatus ..

cimba007

I forgot to mention that the node is battery powered @ 2x AA-Alkaline-Battery @ ~2,5volt .. no LDO involved .. and an NRF24+LNA+PA version of the NRF24 ..

I got like 4-5 boards with this exact same setup and they run totally fine with the latest stable release ..

.. investigating the root cause might be difficulty as my code is a little bit customized with a little wrapper .. will try out a fresh sketch tomorrow ..

cimba007

Okay ... I switched back between snapshot from yesterday and stable 2.0.0 and all I can say is that the stable is perfectly fine and the snapshot freezes.

prepare to sleep

17481 MCO:SLP:TPD
17498 MCO:SLP:WUP=1
.18

Nothing on the code has been changed. Only difference is that I had to modifie latest stable to include a few delays for my slow 1mhz node ..

PS: I currently don't have the time to debug this issue further .. last time it took me some days to figure out the delay-issue of slow nodes ...

I suspect the sleep/interrupt combination.

Could not remove the accelerometer cause it is the source of the interrupts

cimba007

no sleep = fine
no i2c-communiction/no interrupts = fine

both = lockup

cimba007

I noticed that I can make the node crash if I trigger some interrupts by force (moving the accelerometer) .. nice ..

I guess the sleep/interrupt code has some kind of bug since the latest rework in the developer branch.

ikkeT

I hope you catch it, as I believe I'm hit by the same bug. It the happens similar way on Sensebender Micro & NRF24L01+. I have a thread on troubleshooting forum with topic of interrupt mystery. I'm arduino newbie, so I'm not much help. I'm just about to try it on Arduino Pro mini just for comparison.

Somehow the enbling of interrupts lock it within a minute or so. If no interrupt enabled, no locking.

BR,
Ikke

cimba007

@ikkeT Are you using the latest stable or snapshot version?

tekka

@cimba007 Thanks, I'll try to reproduce it. What Arduino IDE & AVR Board defs are you using?
@ikkeT Same here, can you upload your (minimal) sketch to reproduce and also indicate MySensors, Arduino IDE and AVR board def versions?

scalz

@cimba007
just an idea..i don't know if it can help at all..but it looks there is a while loop in FaBo3Axis::readI2c
do you think if adding some debug here you get something??
i was just thinking..a freeze that's weird..no wdt?

cimba007

@scalz Thanks for the hint with the while-loop. I changed the i2c-read the following way:

void FaBo3Axis::readI2c(uint8_t register_addr, uint8_t num, uint8_t buffer[])
{
  Wire.beginTransmission(_i2caddr);
  Wire.write(register_addr);
  Wire.endTransmission();

  Wire.requestFrom(_i2caddr, num);

  int i = 0;
  uint8_t limit = num;
  while(Wire.available() && limit--)
  {
	Serial.print("r");
    buffer[i] = Wire.read();
    i++;
  }
}

Now it should under no circumstanced read more then the number given. Sadly this had no impact:

Just before the sleep ..

I then added a Serial.flush() to the "r"-output ..

void FaBo3Axis::readI2c(uint8_t register_addr, uint8_t num, uint8_t buffer[])
{
	Serial.print("readI2c");
	Serial.flush();
  Wire.beginTransmission(_i2caddr);
  Wire.write(register_addr);
  Wire.endTransmission();

  Wire.requestFrom(_i2caddr, num);

  int i = 0;
  uint8_t limit = num;
  while(Wire.available() && limit--)
  {
	Serial.print("r");
	Serial.flush();
    buffer[i] = Wire.read();
    i++;
  }
}

So .. your tip was very good .. it seems to be related to the

  Wire.beginTransmission(_i2caddr);
  Wire.write(register_addr);
  Wire.endTransmission();

-call .. only one questions remains .. why was it working perfectly on the stable library?

Just to be sure I will run exactly the same code in a non-stop loop with the stable library ..

@cimba007 What AVR board defs are you on?

cimba007

@tekka said:

AVR board def

What do you mean with AVR board def?

https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/4999/latest-git-snapshot-causes-freezes/17

I am using an arduino pro-mini china clone (328p) with 8mhz internal oscillator and DIV_8 fuse.

The bootloader is an "APM Optiboot 1Mhz" .. cant find the link right now.

@cimba007 You'll find the information in your Boards Manager (under Tools | Board | Boards Manager)

hmm..too bad that didn't do the trick..but there was something (and that's an issue which can appear easily when using other libs, "hidden" while) and difficult to reproduce exactly the same case on my side as i'm not using the same radio.
i've dl the latest snpashot. so i will check on my side if one of my sketch is still running fine (with 4ints) and if i get the problem i'll try to debug it too. but i hope to not get it lol

That would be nice .. my latest findings point out that the i2c-function is getting stuck. I investigated the i2c-source of arduino a bit and found out it is quite depending on interrupts.

This is now

wild speculation

For some reason interrupts got disabled while the i2c library is trying to write some data on the i2c-bus ..

Code working: (4minutes+)

  sei();
  fabo3axis.readIntStatus();

Code not working:

  //sei();
  fabo3axis.readIntStatus();

I noticed that interrupts in the sleep function are only detached if the intrrupt occurs ..

whereas in the stable

	detachInterrupt(interrupt1);
	if (interrupt2!=0xFF) detachInterrupt(interrupt2);

They get detached after the wakeup in the sleep ..

What if .. for some strange reason the interrupt is interfearing with .. whatever?!

EDIT: with the added sei(); the node is running for 10 minutes now ...
EDIT2: Running for 20 minutes now ..

@cimba007 I cloned the master branch from git about week ago. Or which ever is the default. I'll come back tomorrow, already in bed now.

@tekka the scetch is here along with the libraries, just use it as Arduino folder to reproduce:

https://github.com/ikke-t/sensebender

I'll check the versions tomorrow (UTC+3). The arduino ide is 1.6.xx whatever is the very latest in Fedora 24.

@tekka, the versions are:

Mysensors is development branch, I didn't pay attention while cloning, it's set to default to development:

commit 8cacb4825b256f63aa2fc51468fd11a90bb19678
Merge: 75a100f 8ccb1ca
Author: Patrick Fallberg <patrick@fallberg.net>
Date:   Thu Sep 22 19:02:11 2016 +0200

Arduino IDE is 1.6.4

$ rpm -qa arduino*
arduino-core-1.6.4-8.fc24.noarch
arduino-doc-1.6.4-8.fc24.noarch
arduino-1.6.4-8.fc24.noarch

My IDE board manager shows Arduino AVR boards version 1.6.7, and it seems there is newer one available, 1.6.14. I will update that.

Mysensors AVR board definition for Micro version is 1.0.1

scalz

so far, on my side, using custom sleep() and other mix, my ints are still working..i'm using latest snap' now, and still in 1.6.8..
but that's not the same usecase as i'm not using mys sleep for this node..
I will try your case; at least mine is working well . it could be sort of race..always a dilemma somewhere..

cimba007

I got suspecious about the code working with the manual adding of sei() before calling the i2cread-function.

So I changed the end of hwPowerDown to include a serial output with a flush.

	// restore saved WDT settings
	WDTCSR = WDTsave;
	Serial.println("sei()");
	Serial.flush();
	sei();
	// enable ADC
	ADCSRA |= (1 << ADEN);
}

Now have a close look at how sei()-output is missing just before the freeze:

readI2c

Just after "57769 MCO:SLP:TPD<\n>" the sei()-output is missing. Thus I suspect that interrupts are not enabled when the readI2c-function is called .. and as i2c is depending on interrupts the code gets stuck there.

Still no idea why the sei() is "sometimes" not called ...

Notice how the "millis" interrupt is not called after the missing sei .. thus all timestamps are the same:

57786 MCO:SLP:WUP=1<\n>
 | 57786<\r><\n>
57786 TSF:MSG:READ,0-0-14,s=0,c=1,t=16,pt=2,l=2,sg=0:0<\n>
57786 TSF:MSG:ACK<\n>
157786 TSF:MSG:SEND,14-14-0-0,s=0,c=1,t=16,pt=2,l=2,sg=0,ft=0,st=OK:0<\n>

Comparing the code to the atmel documentation here:

http://www.atmel.com/webdoc/AVRLibcReferenceManual/group__avr__sleep.html

mysensors explicit disables interrupts after wake from sleep:

	sei();
	
    // Directly sleep CPU, to prevent race conditions! (see chapter 7.7 of ATMega328P datasheet)
	sleep_cpu();
    sleep_disable();	
	// restore previous WDT settings
	cli();

whereas the atmel documentation enables interrupts

#include <avr/interrupt.h>
    #include <avr/sleep.h>

...
  set_sleep_mode(<mode>);
  cli();
  if (some_condition)
  {
    sleep_enable();
    sleep_bod_disable();
    sei();
    sleep_cpu();
    sleep_disable();
  }
  sei();

Might not be totally related as the code did not change from last stable .. except one line:

	WDTCSR |= (1 << WDIE); // set the WDIE flag to enable interrupt callback function.

is now missing in the snapshot ..

Adding an extra sei() after the sleep_disable() is not the solution .. still thought it might be noteworthy

Can you indicate where this change is located?
I compared 2.0.0 (master) to 2.0.1beta (development) and WDTCSR is only touched in MyHwATMega328.cpp
The watchdog related parts seem identical between both versions...

Futhermore, is it the library located at https://github.com/FaBoPlatform/FaBo3Axis-ADXL345-Library/blob/master/src/FaBo3Axis_ADXL345.cpp that you are using?

cimba007

Jep, this is the library.

https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/blob/development/core/MyHwATMega328.cpp#L86
https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/blob/master/core/MyHwATMega328.cpp#L75

well .. I have no idea but on my code it is there:

0_1475516793275_upload-115e8437-9933-4d71-ba85-0f3f11ea7036

Seems to be neither in the stable nor the developement branch .. but I most gotten it somewhere .. lets check

I think I added it for some reason on latest stable. Otherwise pinchage-interrupt was not working with mysensors-library .. I will try to remove it on stable to see if I get stuck there too and add in snapshot to see if it helps in some way.

EDIT1: Adding in the latest snapshot doesn't change a thing
EDIT2: Removing it in the latest stable doesn't change a thing

I might have added it from another testsketch .. but it would be better located in that sketch right after the sleep function .. so just ignore it for now - my bad ;_(

Yveaux

@cimba007 Well, I filed (https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/issues/598) and fixed (https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/pull/599) and issue with interrupts not being detached correctly in all cases when using hwSleep().
This might be causing your issue, but is hard to say without actually debugging the code.
Once the PR is merged, could you try getting the latest development branch and see if it fixes the issue? (please use the development branch, without any local modifications)

cimba007

Just copy'pasted your fix and .. voila

Problems seems to be solved - although I do not unterstand why?!

_wakeUp2Interrupt should be totally unrelated as it is never set
detach should happen in the ISR

.. even if the interrupt is not detached correctly .. how should it lead to the total skip of these code:

	cli();
	wdt_reset();
	// enable WDT changes
	WDTCSR |= (1 << WDCE) | (1 << WDE);
	// restore saved WDT settings
	WDTCSR = WDTsave;
	Serial.println("sei()");
	Serial.flush();
	sei();
	// enable ADC
	ADCSRA |= (1 << ADEN);
	//WDTCSR |= (1 << WDIE); // set the WDIE flag to enable interrupt callback function.

As this code-snipped is skipped sei() gets never called in my case .. and the subsequent call to i2c freezes the node ... as i2c depends on interrupts ..

Anyway thanks Yveaux .. althour your fix is simple .. i don't know why it is working ...

EDIT: Furthermore .. even if the interrupt is not detached in the isr .. there should be no further interrupt if the interrupt register is not read via i2c .. and that in fact doesn't happen >:>

Yveaux

@cimba007 Great to hear it solves your problem!

Regarding the serial print not showing: you call it from withing a section with interrupts disabled; I don't know if this will work at all, or maybe even cause a hang... I would toggle some IO pins instead and use an oscilloscope to verify program flow.

Sleeping an AVR using the watchdog and pin interrupts is some tricky stuff, which is very susceptible to race conditions and almost impossible to debug without a decent hardware debugger.
Having a compiler that woes every now and then also isn't helping...

cimba007

I only used the pin change interrupt in another sketch. I was doubting Serial in sections without isr too! But they are clever. Serial output depends on polling in sections where interrupts are disabled

Yveaux

@cimba007 said:

Ok, learned something today

The PR has now been merged to development btw.

cimba007

@Yveaux While we are at this topic .. any chance to let the user-code know what caused the wakeup during sleep() ??

For example .. if there was a wakeup at all or which of the two interrupt sources was the cause.

Unforunatly the "cause" gets cleaned up at the end of hwSleep:

bool interruptWakeUp()
{
    return _wokeUpByInterrupt != INVALID_INTERRUPT_NUM;
}

Calling this from user-code will always return 0 as the end of hwSleep does this:

 _wokeUpByInterrupt = INVALID_INTERRUPT_NUM;

Not clearing the "last interrupt source" would be nice.

tekka

@cimba007 The return value of sleep() indicates the wake-up cause: irq (nr) or timer (=MY_WAKE_UP_BY_TIMER).
See here: https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/blob/development/core/MyHwATMega328.cpp#L146-L147

ikkeT

I also confirm it fixed my problem. Thank you!

cimba007

@tekka Thanks, that is what I was looking for

chrille

@Yveaux Thank you for committing this fix. I had the same issue and it caused me a lot of headache
