Trying to compile gateway firmware

[Julius]

Hi, I am trying to compile gateway firmware 1.7.5.3 on Arduino IDE. At first, I had problems with Ethernet library (it tried use included one instead of Teensy), but I have solved it by deleting included Ethernet library. However, I ran into another issue:

Arduino: 1.6.13 (Windows 10), Board: ""maniacbug" Mighty 1284P, JTAG disabled, 16Mhz Full Swing"

Can you help me with this issue? I also tried Arduino: 1.6.9 and I get exact same compilation error.

Hello Julius,

yes, for Ethernet and other libraries you have to use the ones I have on GitHub, and remove the old ones. Best is to create separate copy of Arduino IDE environment just for gateway.

For Serial problem, it basically complain that gateway code is defining Serial 0 and Arduino is trying to initialize same Serial 0. Simple workaround is to find file HardwareSerial0.cpp, and change:
#if defined(HAVE_HWSERIAL0)
to
#if defined(_HAVE_HWSERIAL0)

I was not yet able to find the way to disable include of Arduino Serial 0, although disabling Serial 1 works just fine.

Serial 0 is defined in NilGSM.cpp(GSM modem routines), and Serial 1 NilRS485(RS485 routines).

Ok, that seems to have solved the issue. Although, it says that "Low memory available, stability problems may occur." after compiling.

Looking at output directory, I have those two files among others:

OpenHomeSecurity.ino.hex
OpenHomeSecurity.ino.with_bootloader.hex

I suppose I should use the one with bootloader?

Memory should not be problem, I use external editor, and I have following after compilation:
Sketch uses 109,386 bytes (84.1%) of program storage space. Maximum is 130,048 bytes.
Global variables use 15,018 bytes (91.7%) of dynamic memory, leaving 1,366 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 16,384  bytes.

If you have USB to serial working with 3V3, you just plug it in FTDI header and do standard Arduino upload. It has Arduino bootloader and it works like any Arduino board just select right USB port.

Just to say, every gateway and node has firmware already flashed in order to test them.

Do I need to set any COM port settings (like baud rate or latency settings)? I am using FTDI programmer which looks exactly like in your web site and Arduino 1.6.9, however in the end I get the error:

avrdude: stk500_paged_load(): (a) protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x01
avrdude: stk500_cmd(): programmer is out of sync

(Just to clarify, send/receive leds blink pretty fast during the "upload" phase, but in the end i get the error)

EDIT: This is what I get trying to flash pre-compiled firmware using AVRDUDE: https://pastebin.com/Kn60jAtj

EDIT2: It seems that only the verification phase fails. I have changed some text in web ui and I can see those changes: https://imgur.com/a/I8f64

It looks like the reading/verifying of written firmware does not receive correct data.

 I have similar behavior with one of my FTDI programmer, and I think that the problem is just Chinese copy of FTDI chip. There are many fake FTDI chips out there. The code is long so there is bigger chance to encounter error.

Try to upload it more then once, or use another Arduino with FTDI chip as programmer, or solder ISP header, and do upload via programmer in IDE.

Just curious, do you power the board externally when programming?

From picture it shows that the writing fails, you should not see "mod" after 1.7.5. Exactly like this:


Speed is 115200, and port is specified correctly, you would have no answer from chip.

[vysocan]

Aha ,  you have added the "mod" there. Good.

 Well there might be some hidden error byte in the firmware. I would get another FTDI and try, it should go without error.

Just tried flashing using CP2102 adapter - everything works fine.

I have one which looks like this one: https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1d.S7PXXXXXaxXpXXq6xXFXXXi/CJMCU-CP2102-MICRO-USB-to-UART-TTL-Module-6Pin-Serial-Converter-UART-STC-Replace-FT232-NEW.jpg

Nice to hear that :). Any 3V3 USB to serial should work as long as you connect it properly.
