[Solved] How to adjust MySBootloader files to compile other EN & CSN pins different channel and external 8MHz crystal

[Joerideman]

It took some time to learn how to use the make program. But I figured this out. But, with every version of bootloader that I create, I can not upload a sketch using the Serial programming via the Arduino IDE. This is possible with the 8MHz internal osc bootloader in the MySbootloader folders.

I used this repository https://github.com/mysensors/MySensorsBootloaderRF24

I have made a few changes/additions in different files:

mysbootloader.c --> #define RF24_CHANNEL (122)
makefile -->CLK = 8000000L  
BAUDRATE = 57600 
ISP_HFUSE = D2 //DA and 
ISP_LFUSE = FF //F7 and 
ISP_EFUSE = 06 //was 06 /FE
HW.h --> #elif defined(SPI_PINS_CE8_CSN9)
	#define CSN_PORT	PORTB	// port for CSN
	#define CSN_DDR		DDRB	// DDR for CSN
	#define	CSN_PIN		PB1		// Arduino Pin 9 <-> Bit 1 of port B

	#define CE_PORT		PORTB	// port for CE
	#define CE_DDR		DDRB	// DDR for CE
	#define	CE_PIN		PB0		// Arduino Pin  8 <-> Bit 0 of port B

HW.h --> 	#elif defined(SPI_PINS_CE8_CSN9)
		// set pin mode: MOSI,SCLK,CE,CSN = OUTPUT, MISO = INPUT (=> all on same port)
		SPI_DDR = _BV(SPI_MOSI) | _BV(SPI_SCLK) | _BV(CE_PIN) | _BV(CSN_PIN) | ~_BV(SPI_MISO);
	

I was not sure what this part is used for, so I experimented giving it the same fusesettings as I use in the boards.txt

ISP_HFUSE = D2 //DA and 
ISP_LFUSE = FF //F7 and 
ISP_EFUSE = 06 //was 06 /FE

So I want to use:
8 MHz external oscillator. (alltough I start to wonder now how important an oscillator is)
PB0 or pin 8 for CE
PB1 or pin 9 for CSN
RFChannel 122

@Joerideman What board are you using? Also, please post the entire SPI communication section from HW.h for full reference.

[Joerideman]

I am using my own board. ATmega328P-AU with 8MHz external crystal osc. Shown on this page:

@Joerideman I noticed that you didn't set PB2 as output (see comments) => SPI operates in slave mode. Do you see radio activity on channel 122 after fixing that?

[Joerideman]

Allright one step further.

		// set pin mode: MOSI,SCLK,CE,CSN = OUTPUT, MISO = INPUT (=> all on same port)
		SPI_DDR = _BV(SPI_MOSI) | _BV(SPI_SCLK) | _BV(CE_PIN) | _BV(PB2) | ~_BV(SPI_MISO);
		CSN_DDR = _BV(CSN_PIN);

And now I can use the serial upload :).
No luck seeing any chatter though. To be sure, I just watch commando's that come in in MySController ?

[tekka]

@Joerideman I'm not quite sure how setting the master SPI mode should fix the serial upload issue...What exactly are you referring to? Serial upload via FTDI adapter or FOTA (=firmware over the air) update via RF24?

[Joerideman]

@tekka I can use an FTDI device now for standard uploading of the sketch. The non OTA way.

What do you mean with the master SPI mode? Is that because of the fuses that I tried to change?

I have watch the MyScontroller Debug window and the messages. But I only see a presentation at some point, and than it is started.

[tekka]

@Joerideman Setting PB2 as output ensures that the SPI runs in master mode which is essential for a correct communication between the ATmega328 and the RF24 radio.

However, after setting PB2 you report:

And now I can use the serial upload :).

which is not related to SPI (serial upload uses the UART interface).

I have watch the MyScontroller Debug window and the messages. But I only see a presentation at some point, and than it is started.

Please provide debug logs / screenshots / whatever you have for further troubleshooting...

[Joerideman]

@tekka But that setting somehow made a difference.

Nevermind here is the debug info from the gateway.

When I restart the node, it takes a few seconds before information starts rolling in.

@Joerideman There is no sign of the bootloader here - can you confirm that your GW is listening on channel 122?

[Joerideman]

@tekka how? They are talking with each other ones everything has started. Does that not mean the gateway is on the same channel?

This is the code of my node: I set the channel to 122 right?

@Joerideman That looks alright! Just out of curiosity, if you use the bootloader with the default settings (channel, ce/csn assignment), do you see a difference in the debug log?

I used the 8MHZ int RC one

@Joerideman The bootloader doesn't generate serial debug output, would be helpful to see the GW debug log

[Joerideman]

@tekka Allright I am home again :-).

Here is the sketch I use for the gateway. It comes out of the examples folder from mysensors. I think Debug is enabled. But for 5-6 seconds after resetting the node, I get nothing out of the gateway.

 * The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol
 * between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice.
 * The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters. Each
 * repeater and gateway builds a routing tables in EEPROM which keeps track of the
 * network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes.

 *
 * DESCRIPTION
 * The EthernetGateway sends data received from sensors to the WiFi link.
 * The gateway also accepts input on ethernet interface, which is then sent out to the radio network.
 *
 * VERA CONFIGURATION:
 * Enter "ip-number:port" in the ip-field of the Arduino GW device. This will temporarily override any serial configuration for the Vera plugin.
 * E.g. If you want to use the default values in this sketch enter: 192.168.178.66:5003
 *
 * LED purposes:
 * - To use the feature, uncomment WITH_LEDS_BLINKING in MyConfig.h
 * - RX (green) - blink fast on radio message received. In inclusion mode will blink fast only on presentation received
 * - TX (yellow) - blink fast on radio message transmitted. In inclusion mode will blink slowly
 * - ERR (red) - fast blink on error during transmission error or receive crc error
 *
 * See https://www.mysensors.org/build/connect_radio for wiring instructions.
 *
 * If you are using a "barebone" ESP8266, see
 * https://www.mysensors.org/build/esp8266_gateway#wiring-for-barebone-esp8266
 *
 * Inclusion mode button:
 * - Connect GPIO5 via switch to GND ('inclusion switch')
 *
 * Hardware SHA204 signing is currently not supported!
 *
 * Make sure to fill in your ssid and WiFi password below for ssid & pass.

@tekka I used an rf24 sniffer. I tested if it received signals on channel 122 when I just upload my sketch. This works.

No signal in over 5 minutes time after resetting the node. only signal came from the gateway itself.

[tekka]

@Joerideman Yeah, I assume something is wrong with the bootloader configuration. Can you zip and upload all bootloader files (or the entire folder) you are using with all the settings and modifications you did?

[Joerideman]

@tekka Here is a link to my onedrive: https://1drv.ms/u/s!ArHxoBCXZ0wDiKRLceoqlgchv1r_GQ?e=RvboMa

It holds a zip archive.

@Joerideman Thanks, I again had a quick look at your HW.h file and found the issue:

// set pin mode: MOSI,SCLK,CE,CSN = OUTPUT, MISO = INPUT (=> all on same port)
SPI_DDR = _BV(SPI_MOSI) | _BV(SPI_SCLK) | _BV(CE_PIN) | _BV(PB2) | ~_BV(SPI_MISO);
CSN_DDR = _BV(CSN_PIN);

SPI_DDR and CSN_DDR are both pointing at DDRB:

// SPI communication
#define SPI_PORT	PORTB	// 
#define SPI_DDR		DDRB	//

and

#elif defined(SPI_PINS_CE8_CSN9)
	#define CSN_PORT	PORTB	// port for CSN
	#define CSN_DDR		DDRB	// DDR for CSN
	#define	CSN_PIN		PB1		// Arduino Pin 9 <-> Bit 1 of port B

Thus, setting CSN_DDR = _BV(CSN_PIN) you overwrite SPI_DDR. Comment out the second line and add _BV(CSN_PIN) to SPI_DDR:

// set pin mode: MOSI,SCLK,CE,CSN = OUTPUT, MISO = INPUT (=> all on same port)
SPI_DDR = _BV(SPI_MOSI) | _BV(SPI_SCLK) | _BV(CE_PIN) | _BV(PB2) |  _BV(CSN_PIN);
//CSN_DDR = _BV(CSN_PIN);

@tekka

Is this the only adjustment that I needed to make?

// set pin mode: MOSI,SCLK,CE,CSN = OUTPUT, MISO = INPUT (=> all on same port)
SPI_DDR = _BV(SPI_MOSI) | _BV(SPI_SCLK) | _BV(CE_PIN) | _BV(PB2) |  _BV(CSN_PIN);
//CSN_DDR = _BV(CSN_PIN);

at this point there is no fota and somewhere in the past days Serial update using the uart has also been destroyed again. I think I should restart with a clean download and start again. I am afraid I changed things I should not have,

The log from running make. I notice now that some parts are failed. But I do not know what that means. I do not remember if this was alway the case. This might be a clue that something went wrong.
