MYSBootloader 1.3.0-beta.3

[Mark Swift]

@tekka I've noticed some odd things with my nodes when running the bootloader.

To test I uploaded a simple count time sketch. When running the MYS bootloader the timer resets every 10 seconds, see:

Time: 999
Time: 2000
Time: 3000
Time: 4001
Time: 5001
Time: 6002
Time: 7004
Time: 8003
Time: 9005
Time: 0
Time: 999
Time: 2000
Time: 3000
Time: 4001
Time: 5001
Time: 6002
Time: 7004
Time: 8003
Time: 9005
Time: 0

Using the stock Pro Mim 8Mhz 3.3v bootloader it works fine, any ideas?
Perhaps this is because I'm testing using a non-MySensors sketch?

[tekka]

@Mark-Swift yeah, this is intended behavior: the watchdog kicks in after ~8s, so either you reset it in loop() or disable it in setup().

[rmtucker]

Is there a version or branch of this for the rfm69?

[tekka]

@rmtucker No, but everybody is welcome to contribute and enhance the functionality.

@tekka, I'm trying to compile the HEX using OSX. I have installed avr-gcc with homebrew but I get

rm *.o

rm: *.elf: No such file or directory

When issueing the Make command, can you help, any suggestions?

[tekka]

@Mark-Swift I haven't tested that with OSX - maybe somebody can help here?

[Mark Swift]

@tekka, started a windows VM, run via MinGW and got this when running makefile, does it look okay?

@tekka Just wanted to check if the above log looks okay, currently rolling the bootloader out to 14 nodes (painful process!) and wanted to check if it looks okay before I do.

I'm also using this board.txt, I made a separate entry for my Uno's, do they all look okay? I basically used the fuses from the standard Arduino boards.txt with the change of 0x05 to 0x06 for the BOD? I noticed in the makefile that you can specify the fuses, do I need to compile a bootloader for each device with the exact fuses, or will one bootloader for 16 / 8 / 1Mhz suffice?

Thank you very much in advance, the bootloader is amazing work.

[tekka]

@Mark-Swift What changes did you make to the bootloader - the code size seems increased

[Mark Swift]

@tekka None that I'm aware of? :(

I just changed the fuses in the makefile to match the ones in my boards.txt, not sure if that's required, can you take a look at my questions above, I really want to be sure I'm doing all of this right before deploying.

To recap with regards the bootloader.

1. Installed Windows 7
2. Installed mingw (core and c++ compiler)
3. Installed Arduino IDE and MySensors library (Installed at the same location as you, at c drive root)
4. Downloaded bootloader from github
5. Edited the fuses and clock speed at the top of the makefile to match my boards.txt
6. Ran makefile from cmd

[tekka]

@Mark-Swift ok, most probably a false alarm. I assume you tested it after compilation?

[Mark Swift]

@tekka It seems to work? I guess if there was an issue it wouldn't work at all?

Please can you conform my fuses look okay in the boards.txt I posted above? Also, do I need to change the fuses in the makefile and make a file for each device, or just 1 x 16Mhz and 1 x 8Mhz for example?

[tekka]

@Mark-Swift I'm not at my workstation right now - you have to adjust the fuse settings according to your HW configurations and preferences. The fuse settings in the makefile are obsolete if you use the Arduino IDE / boards.txt for flashing. Please use the AVR fuse calculator to calculate to correct fuse settings:

http://www.engbedded.com/fusecalc/

[Mark Swift]

I @tekka, I thought as much, so basically I just need a bootloader with the right Mhz and then set fuses in the Arduino IDE boards.txt.

I used the fuse settings from the original boards.txt included with the Arduino IDE, but adjusted the extended one to 0x06 (Adjust BOD).

I noticed you used slightly different fuses to the Arduino IDE, you're using fuses that indicate a floating crystal or something?

@tekka

First of all, thanks for working so hard on the new version of the BL.

My setup:

• MYSBootloader 1.3.0-beta3 (md5 49ef3dc263110613c9c25ac21a8c3d83)
• MYSController 1.0.0.beta (updated to latest version)
• GW on Arduino Nano
• Node on Arduino Pro Mini @ 5V 16 Mhz with MockMySensors sketch running

What I did:

• Flashed latest bootloader version from github on the Pro Mini ATMEGA328P (using AVRDUDESS 2.4 & USBasp, fuses L: 0xFF, H: 0xDA, E: 0x05)
• Flashed latest mysensors lib on both node & gw (tested with both 2.0.0 & 2.1) on the Nano

What I got:

• FW upgrade through MYSController: Working
• Reboot through MYSController: Working
• Serial flashing with Arduino IDE: Working
• Request presentation through MYSController: Working
  Request heartbeat through MYSController: Working

But...

Reassign ID through MYSController: NOT WORKING (the node reboots but still preserves the old ID)
(MY_NODE_ID IS NOT DEFINED / THUS SET AS AUTO AS PER MYSENSORS DEFAULTS)
Clear EEPROM through MYSController: NOT WORKING (the node reboots but still holds the value saved in EEPROM using saveState)

Node bootlog after Clear EEPROM from MYSBootloader (you can see my debug LOADSTATE which still loads the value 123 from EEPROM):

And...is it expected that the "Info" tab on my node shows bootloader version 1.2?

Is there anything I'm missing to have these features working?

Thanks in advance

[tekka]

@andreground Yes, re-assigning can be done nowadays with the MySensors framework, i.e. send a C_INTERNAL/I_ID_RESPONSE/<NEW ID> message to the (active) node.

[Mark Swift]

@tekka is it okay to use the bootloader on the gateway?

[tekka]

@Mark-Swift That depends on the use case - what do you have in mind?

[Mark Swift]

@tekka I'd like to put my gateway in quite an isolated place and update the sketches OTA, but I presume that's not possible as without the gateway live, there's nothing to action the OTA :(

I've tried the ESP as it allows OTA updates, but the ESP still has blocking code and it can't handle all my nodes without dropping messages.

[gohan]

I don't know if it the right place to ask, but I am planning to make a wired sensor network (I already have cables) like an RS485 or whatever better technology, so is there any good solution to implement OTA updates? Thanks
