Problems with esp8266 OTA #417

igorjan · 2015-12-30T14:29:05Z

When I try the OTA example found here:
https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/blob/master/libraries/ArduinoOTA/examples/BasicOTA/BasicOTA.ino

I encounterd when uploading the OTA script didn’t seem to recognize my input IP. I was getting:
14:21:38 [CRITICAL]: Not enough arguments.

It seems on windows you must specify upload port in ” ” like this.
upload_port = “192.168.1.40”

When I set the IP in " " I get this output when I do an upload:
esptool v0.4.6 – (c) 2014 Ch. Klippel
setting board to nodemcu
setting baudrate from 115200 to 115200
setting port from COM1 to 192.168.1.40
espcomm_upload_file
stat .pioenvs\nodemcu\firmware.bin success
error: Failed to open 192.168.1.40
error: espcomm_open failed
scons: *** [upload] Error -1
[ ERROR ]

Any Idea? I disabled the firewall and the IP is definitely OK. I tested the UDP port 8266 and it is open.
Also there is no activity on the serial monitor when I try OTA.

I think the problem is still in the IP address somehow it is not recognized properly.

itsjustvenky · 2015-12-30T14:53:27Z

@igorjan Can you try testing "ESPWebServer/HelloSever.ino" (inarduino ide examples) and see if you can access the mentioned IP-Address and also try to ping the ip-address and see if you get any response.

if you cannot access the ip-address, then its problem with your machine.

igorjan · 2015-12-30T15:03:07Z

@itsjustvenky the HelloServer.ino works without a problem. I get "hello from esp8266!" in the web borwser.

I can ping the IP, also I tested the UDP port 8266 on the ESP which is used for OTA and it seems to be open.

itsjustvenky · 2015-12-30T15:07:37Z

@igorjan which version of platformio are you using ? and also can you try to upload the same code using arduino-ide and see if that works.

igorjan · 2015-12-30T15:08:44Z

@itsjustvenky platformio version 2.6.3

ivankravets · 2015-12-30T15:13:27Z

@igorjan try to specify IP as http://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/projectconf.html#upload-port . Don't pass it to console as argument.

igorjan · 2015-12-30T15:26:51Z

ivankravets · 2015-12-30T15:29:04Z

Please read my comment above #417 (comment). Don't pass IP to terminal. See example http://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/platforms/espressif.html#over-the-air-ota-update

Add this line to your platformio.ini

upload_port = 192.168.1.40

skorokithakis · 2015-12-30T15:29:14Z

Isn't this a windows/click/esptool problem? If windows tokenizes periods as separate tokens, you need to quote it if you want to pass it in the command line.

igorjan · 2015-12-30T15:32:52Z

@ivankravets sorry I misunderstood you. I was doing it with platformio.ini file all along.

ivankravets · 2015-12-30T15:33:59Z

@igorjan please wait for the new development version. I'll ask you to test it. 1-2mins

ivankravets · 2015-12-30T15:34:42Z

@igorjan could you paste directly yo terminal this

"C:\Users\igor.platformio\packages\tool-esptool\esptool" -vv -cd nodemcu -cb 11
5200 -cp "192.168.1.40" -cf .pioenvs\nodemcu\firmware.bin

Does it work?

igorjan · 2015-12-30T15:42:19Z

ivankravets · 2015-12-30T15:44:25Z

@igorjan STOP STOP 🙅

Did you upload OTA sketch before make OTA uploading?

ivankravets · 2015-12-30T15:45:18Z

No here problems with IP. Looks like you didn't upload OTA sketch and din't configured it.

itsjustvenky · 2015-12-30T15:45:24Z

damn... we totally forgot the basic question...
yeah first we need to upload the OTA sketch and then next time we can do a upload via OTA

ivankravets · 2015-12-30T15:46:11Z

@itsjustvenky :) 🍸 New Year...

namoaton · 2015-12-30T15:46:33Z

esp_OTA.zip

igorjan · 2015-12-30T15:52:33Z

Yes I did have the OTA example uploaded via serial before trying OTA. I even changed some strings in the serial.print so I'm sure that the correct sketch is uploaded.

ivankravets · 2015-12-30T15:54:52Z

@igorjan could you make SPIFFS OTA uploading using Arduino IDE? See https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/blob/master/doc/filesystem.md#uploading-files-to-file-system

igorjan · 2015-12-30T15:56:37Z

@namoaton tried your project it is the same

igorjan · 2015-12-30T15:57:03Z

@ivankravets Will try arduino but have to install it first

itsjustvenky · 2015-12-30T16:05:02Z

@igorjan https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/blob/master/doc/ota_updates/ota_updates.md

Try this arduino build : Arduino-PR-4107-BUILD-421

else you need to manually set the IP-Address in arduino preference files.

itsjustvenky · 2015-12-30T16:05:16Z

https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/blob/master/doc/ota_updates/ota_updates.md#arduinoota

igorjan · 2015-12-30T16:31:17Z

OK tried the arduino and it works without a problem. The sketch is the same.

ivankravets · 2015-12-30T16:35:00Z

@igorjan print here platformio --version

igorjan · 2015-12-30T16:40:05Z

c:\Users\User.platformio\packages\tool-esptool>platformio --version
PlatformIO, version 2.6.3

itsjustvenky · 2015-12-30T17:12:29Z

@igorjan

the actual command is

platformio run --target upload --upload-port 192.168.1.40

igorjan · 2015-12-30T17:14:38Z

@itsjustvenky for your command I get:

igorjan · 2015-12-30T17:16:14Z

@ivankravets if I remove the double qutes. I get the error:

18:13:45 [CRITICAL]: Not enough arguments.
scons: *** [upload] Error 1

The command python espota.py -i 192.168.1.40 -p8266 -f .pioenvs\nodemcu\firmware.bin
works without a problem.

ivankravets · 2015-12-30T17:16:18Z

Ok, now please revert upload_port: "192.168.1.40" in platformio.ini.

itsjustvenky · 2015-12-30T17:16:57Z

@igorjan I think "ivankravets" just fixed something related this ip-address. Please install latest dev. version.

ivankravets · 2015-12-30T17:17:01Z

I don't understand behaviour of your machine. Please revert back quotes. If it helps, I'll added them to code.

ivankravets · 2015-12-30T17:19:44Z

@igorjan Could you try without TCP/IP port? espota.py -i 192.168.1.40 -f .pioenvs\nodemcu\firmware.bin. Does it work?

skorokithakis · 2015-12-30T17:20:04Z

@ivankravets notice that he's running esptool, not espota. Why would that work?

"C:\Users\igor.platformio\packages\tool-esptool\esptool" -vv -cd nodemcu -cb 115200 -cp "192.168.1.40" -cf .pioenvs\nodemcu\firmware.bin

igorjan · 2015-12-30T17:22:24Z

OK this works too:

python espota.py -i 192.168.1.40 -f C:\Igor_i\ESP8266\Project1.pioenvs\nodemcu\firmware.bin

igorjan · 2015-12-30T17:23:40Z

Also in version dev13 I get error

18:18:56 [CRITICAL]: Not enough arguments.

With or without qutes for upload port

ivankravets · 2015-12-30T17:24:16Z

I've just pushed dev14. Please try it

igorjan · 2015-12-30T17:26:12Z

Dev 14 is the same

18:18:56 [CRITICAL]: Not enough arguments.
With or without qutes for upload port

If you guys want I can give you team viewer access to the computer so you can test yourself

skorokithakis · 2015-12-30T17:27:18Z

@igorjan Can you paste your platformio.ini here?

igorjan · 2015-12-30T17:27:37Z

[env:nodemcu]
platform = espressif
framework = arduino
board = nodemcu
upload_port = "192.168.1.40"

ivankravets · 2015-12-30T17:27:48Z

Yes, please mail me@ikravets.com with TeamViewer Id/pass. Thanks

itsjustvenky · 2015-12-30T17:27:58Z

@igorjan can you post all the text from your console from the starting of platformio run...

skorokithakis · 2015-12-30T17:28:17Z

@igorjan You should surround your code with three tildes:

like this

skorokithakis · 2015-12-30T17:40:53Z

This seems to fix it (platformio/builder/scripts/espressif.py:233):

        upload_port = env.get("UPLOAD_PORT", "").strip("\"\' ")
        if (upload_port and (
                upload_port.endswith(".local") or
                socket.inet_aton(upload_port))):
            env.Replace(
                UPLOADCMD="$UPLOADOTACMD"
            )

ivankravets · 2015-12-30T17:50:27Z

Guys, the problem was linked with launching espota.py. On this machine PyCharm IDE handles all Python files by default.

I'll fix it and paste directly current Python interpreter

ivankravets · 2015-12-30T18:02:23Z

@igorjan please try the latest dev15

igorjan · 2015-12-30T18:05:38Z

:) This one works without problem

Thank you guys for your help, really appreciate it.

ivankravets · 2015-12-30T18:06:39Z

Thank you too that report it. I'm going to release 2.7.0 🎄 😊
