MYSBootloader 1.3 pre-release & MYSController 1.0.0beta
-
I have a node with the NRF already soldered. Since Arduino as ISP uses some of the pins used by the NRF, is there anything I can do to flash the bootloader without unsoldering the NRF? Thanks!
-
@abmantis You can just solder ISP wires to arduino without disconneting NRF. It's programming well (I've already tested this solution with my network)
-
Yeah, the bootloader works well with the v2.0 release.
The major issue it has currently is that sometimes it takes quite a long time to flash a sketch. It seems that when the wireless connection is not perfect, it stops for 2 or 3 seconds multiple times. Like, send 10 packages, stop 3 seconds, send 5 packages, stop again. -

I used the MYSBootloader 1.3pre with version 2.0.0
I managed to upload FW to nodes with MYSController.As mention:
"supports OTA FW AND serial FW updates"But I cannot get anything to serial port with the nodes.
Is the serial option really works on this bootloader?
the specs:
1.board - my own developed board with atmega328p au without external clock.
2.board.txt:######## settings for 8Mhz internal clock, EESAVE, BOD1V8, no lock proMYSBL8.name=ATmega328 internal 8Mhz with MYSBootloader proMYSBL8.upload.tool=avrdude proMYSBL8.upload.protocol=arduino proMYSBL8.upload.maximum_size=30720 proMYSBL8.upload.maximum_data_size=2048 proMYSBL8.upload.speed=57600 proMYSBL8.bootloader.tool=avrdude proMYSBL8.bootloader.low_fuses=0xE2 proMYSBL8.bootloader.high_fuses=0xD2 proMYSBL8.bootloader.extended_fuses=0x06 proMYSBL8.bootloader.unlock_bits=0x3F proMYSBL8.bootloader.lock_bits=0x3F proMYSBL8.bootloader.file=MySensors/MYSBootloaderV13pre.hex proMYSBL8.build.mcu=atmega328p proMYSBL8.build.f_cpu=8000000L proMYSBL8.build.board=AVR_UNO proMYSBL8.build.core=arduino proMYSBL8.build.variant=standard- the bootloader hex file is : MYSBootloaderV13pre.hex from MYSController 1.0.0beta
So is serial possible or/and should I change something?

@Mickey There are some issues with Arduino IDE 1.6.10 and avrdude 6.3 - do you happen to have 1.6.10 installed?
-
@Mickey And what is the output when it fails? Can you try the bootloader with on a 16Mhz board and 115200bps?
@tekka
It's not failing the node is functional and I can upload a sketch to it via MYSController but It cannot get sketch from the arduino IDE (the IDE gives the normal output that upload complete and all OK without any Error notice but after it the node doesn't have a FW on it and even if I upload some basic sketch that spit Serial to monitor nothing happen.)
I will try to upload the bootloader to an Arduino nano node to see if on 16Mhz board and 115200bps the problem exist.
Also you mention that the hex file compiled to 16Mhz board and 115200bps , maybe it should also compile on a internal 8Mhz to fix this. -

@Mickey Ok, I see, this is something related to the internal checksum, need to adjust that. In short: the bootloader doesn't hand over to the sketch
@tekka
Hi tekka, are the source already available. I'm moving all my setup to mysensor 2.0.1 so your new bootloader is very interesting.
But on my setup I need a small customization.
I have 3 areas with 3 GW and each area with a different RF channel.
So I add a configuration switch to my nodes to select the channel.
I already modified the mysensor Library for this feature.
That why I'm asking for source code, in order to add this on bootloader too.Thank and nice job

@tekka
Hi, thank for your quick answer. Yes software are never finalized :D
Even a beta release can be ok to me in order to start testing the new setup.
I will start with some micro pro 3.3V 8MHz external quartz.
Also if I can help in coding or debugging, happy to help. I spend lot of time programming AVR. Please don't hesitate, ask (PM).
In any case up to you to decide when starting publishing the first release.Thank for your job and looking forward to test the bootloader
-
Ohh. I'm also very eager to have my hands on the source of the beta. Please share so that we can help finalize it. I have a bunch of sensors ready for deployment, but I need a bootloader that can upgrade them. Since software is never ready 😄

I try to add new hex file in MYSController 1.0 but after clicking "reload repo", it tells me 2107-15-31 is not a valid date specification. I don't have the ability to select firmware after this. And after a reboot the "reload repo" is garyed.
Arduino ide 1.6.7
csv :Type,Name,Version,File,Comments 10,Blink,1,Blink.ino.hex,blinking example 20,TimeReporter,1,TimeReporter.ino.hex,TimeReporter demo 30,SenseBender,1,SensebenderMicro.ino.hex,Sensebender microAnother 'bug". It always ask me to download a "new" version ... I install it but ask me again (1.0 beta)
I think this issue is related to the last arduino IDE version.@Fabien said:

@Fabien You have two or more blank lines in your firmware_config.csv. This causes the error message. If you remove them and click on Reload Repo the error will be gone.
