ESP32 - Edgent - OTA Not Working

sunnyreef · November 5, 2022, 10:19pm

Hi,

I’m having an issue trying ot update firmware for a device from Blynk Console since a few days.

I’m testing on my lab now, and I don’t know why, the OTA is not working.

The device is an ESP32

I’m using Arduino IDE 2.0.1

I can compile and upload the sketch using USB cable and it works fine. That make me think the sketch is OK.

I noticed two bin files created by the Export Compiled Binary, But It look this is usual with ESP32

The Serial console shows the following messages:

18:46:51.156 -> [2296346] Disconnected

One important thing is that I’m using the dual core of the ESP32, running the Edgent in the Core0

void setup()
{
  int i;
  for (i = 0; i < 4; i = i + 1)
  {
    ledcSetup(i, LEDC_BASE_FREQ, LEDC_TIMER_12_BIT);
    ledcAttachPin(PWM_Digital_Canal[i], i);
  //  pinMode(PWM_Digital_Canal[i], OUTPUT);
  //  analogWrite(PWM_Digital_Canal[i], potCanal[i]*proteccion_temp / 100, 1023);
  }
  Serial.begin(115200); // See the connection status in Serial Monitor
  setSyncInterval(1);
  //rtc.begin();
  Serial.println("Iniciando App");
  pinMode(Relay, OUTPUT);
  BlynkEdgent.begin();
//  xTaskCreatePinnedToCore(loop2, "loop2", 4096, NULL, 1, NULL, 1);
  xTaskCreatePinnedToCore(loop1, "loop1", 4608, NULL, 0, NULL, 0);
  actualizaLuzTemp();
  timer.setInterval(60000, actualizaLuzTemp);
  timer.setInterval(5000, leeTemperatura);
  timer_Core0.setInterval(5000, envia_datos);
  setSyncInterval(60 * 60 * 24); // Sync interval in seconds (10 minutes)
}


    void loop1(void *pvParameters) //loop para procesos de BLYNK en Core0
    {
      while (1)
      {
        BlynkEdgent.run();
        timer_Core0.run();
        delay(1);
      }
    }

void loop() // loop para procesos de la Lámpara
{
  timer.run();
}

I has similar issues. I renamed the file with only .bin extension.

By default when we compile the sketch we get a file as

SketchName.ino.bin

It appears that having two dot + extension makes the system think its a wrong file type.

Try renaming.

PeteKnight · November 6, 2022, 9:10am

That’s a good point.
Personally, I never use dots or spaces in my sketch file names, I prefer something like this…

my_test_sketch_v_1_2_3.ino

Pete.

Thanks for the hint, but it fails too.

I renamed the file to:
ESP32_Lampara_SunnyReef.bin

And the same result.

Try to do a ota a with the edgent example with no extra codes. See if this works. If yes, then probably you have messed up few things.

sunnyreef · November 6, 2022, 6:21pm

I had to change my cores order to allow the OTA upgrade trough Blynk Console.

In my original sketch, I was using Core0 for the Edgent and Blynk comms processes. And Core1 (main) for my device own processes. For some reason, with this configuration, OTA fails.

I inverted the use of ESP32 cores , leaving Edgent and Blynk processes on Core1 and my device processes in Core0.

Changing only that, I was able to do the OTA.

Anybody know why this happens?
