Espressif : upload to IP address (OTA) #365

itsjustvenky · 2015-12-09T18:04:11Z

Quickstart

OTA firmware uploading is implemented in PlatformIO 2.6.

Please use PlatformIO 2.6 or above and official ESP8266 documentation https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/blob/master/doc/platformio.md

using Arduino IDE I can upload a ESP sketch over OTA to a remote ESP using command

python.exe C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\esp8266com\esp8266/tools/espota.py -i 192.168.0.105 -p 8266 -f 
C:\Users\VENKAT~1.VEN\AppData\Local\Temp\build1686115882947863985.tmp/BasicOTA.cpp.bin

Is there a way to do this in platformio

thanks
Venkatesh

Hi @itsjustvenky
espota.py is located here: c:\Users\User\.platformio\packages\framework-arduinoespressif\tools\espota.py
Firmware binary file is located here: path_to_project\.pioenv\env\firmware.bin

ivankravets · 2015-12-09T19:11:42Z

See here how to define own uploader http://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/projectconf.html#extra-script and related issue #351 (comment)

itsjustvenky · 2015-12-10T02:56:43Z

@valeros @ivankravets thank you.

itsjustvenky · 2015-12-10T05:09:00Z

Sorry one more question : Can I set the value of properties like this "$UPLOADER" inside platformio.ini ? it seems to be not working. Also can I create a new properties like UPLOADER_IP_OTA and use it in script ? please let me know. thanks.

ivankravets · 2015-12-10T17:24:52Z

Can I set the value of properties like this "$UPLOADER" inside platformio.ini

No, you can't. The only way is extra script.

can I create a new properties like UPLOADER_IP_OTA and use it in script

For example, platformio.ini

[env:***]
...
UPLOADER_IP_OTA = 127.0.0.1
...

Yes, you can. To get this value inside extra script use ARGUMENTS.get("UPLOADER_IP_OTA")

The OTA solution

platformio_extra_script.py - place it near platformio.ini

from os.path import join
from SCons.Script import DefaultEnvironment

env = DefaultEnvironment()

env.Replace(
    UPLOADEROTA=join("$PIOPACKAGES_DIR",
                     "framework-arduinoespressif", "tools", "espota.py"),
    UPLOADCMD='$UPLOADEROTA -i $UPLOAD_PORT -p 8266 -f $SOURCE'
)

Specify extra_script in platformio.ini, for example

[env:esp01]
platform = espressif
framework = arduino
board = esp01
build_flags = -Wl,-T${PIOPACKAGES_DIR}/ldscripts/esp8266.flash.1m64.ld
upload_port = 127.0.0.1
extra_script = platformio_extra_script.py

To print current environment of @platformio builder use platformio run --target envdump

itsjustvenky · 2015-12-10T18:13:59Z

@ivankravets Thanks for the solution.

ivankravets · 2015-12-10T20:14:10Z

Does it work for you?

itsjustvenky · 2015-12-10T20:40:50Z

Nope.

I added lines exactly what you have given in above comments.

I used this command in script : print env['CPPDEFINES']
and the output is

['F_CPU=$BOARD_F_CPU', '__ets__', 'ICACHE_FLASH', 'ARDUINO_ESP8266_ESP01', 'ARDUINO_ARCH_ESP8266', 'ESP8266', 'ARDUINO=200', ['UPLOADER_IP_OTA', 'HELLO'], 'PLATFORMIO=020500']

When I use this command : print env['CPPDEFINES'].get("UPLOADER_IP_OTA")
I am seeing this error

AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'get'

From above I can see "CPPDEFINES" is a list and with exception to one value "UPLOADER_IP_OTA", which is dictionary value.

please suggest. thanks.

ivankravets · 2015-12-10T21:04:17Z

@itsjustvenky I've just got what do you need. See updated #365 (comment)

I didn't test it. Please report me if it doesn't work.

ivankravets · 2015-12-10T21:12:17Z

I've just updated again my comment. Looks like you don't need to create own board. You can override LD script using build_flags.

ivankravets · 2015-12-10T21:40:52Z

See TOTALY updated comment. Please use that solution #365 (comment)

itsjustvenky · 2015-12-10T21:44:53Z

@ivankravets Thank you so much. OTA works now with the configuration from platformio.ini. Appreciated!!!

ivankravets · 2015-12-10T21:46:51Z

Thanks for the report. Ok, let's explain what have you changed. Do you use standard PlatformIO packages?

itsjustvenky · 2015-12-10T21:49:13Z

I am still on SDK v1.4.. apart from this everything I reverted back.

ivankravets · 2015-12-10T21:53:40Z

Where did you replace this SDK v1.4?

itsjustvenky · 2015-12-11T05:18:34Z

I have complete overwritten these two folders with 1.4 SDK (esp-open-sdk).

~/.platformio/packages/sdk-esp8266
~/.platformio/packages/toolchain-xtensa

Here is the board I have created.

{
   "esp01-1m": {
        "build": {
            "core": "esp8266",
            "extra_flags": "-DARDUINO_ESP8266_ESP01 -DARDUINO_ARCH_ESP8266 -DESP8266",
            "f_cpu": "80000000L",
            "ldscript": "esp8266.flash.1m128.ld",
            "mcu": "esp8266",
            "variant": "generic"
        },
        "frameworks": ["arduino"],
        "name": "Espressif ESP8266 ESP-01-1MB board",
        "platform": "espressif",
        "upload": {
            "maximum_ram_size": 32768,
            "maximum_size": 1048576,
            "protocol": "arduino",
            "require_upload_port" : true,
            "speed": 115200
        },
        "url": "https://nurdspace.nl/ESP8266",
        "vendor": "Espressif"
    }
}

itsjustvenky · 2015-12-11T05:21:31Z

Extra script for Arduino-OTA

from os.path import join
from SCons.Script import DefaultEnvironment

env = DefaultEnvironment()

env.Replace(
    UPLOADEROTA=join("$PIOPACKAGES_DIR",
                     "framework-arduinoespressif", "tools", "espota.py"),
    UPLOADCMD='$UPLOADEROTA -i $UPLOAD_PORT -p 8266 -f $SOURCE --debug --progress'
)

I have added two other option's to command line, DEBUG and PROGRESS.

ivankravets · 2015-12-11T11:19:57Z

I have complete overwritten these two folders with 1.4 SDK (esp-open-sdk).
~/.platformio/packages/sdk-esp8266
~/.platformio/packages/toolchain-xtensa

Why did you replace these packages? ~/.platformio/packages/sdk-esp8266 isn't used in your example because Espressif Arduino contains own version of SDK See ~/.platformio/packages/framework-arduinoespressif/tools/sdk.

Ok, please make these changes:

Backup ~/.platformio/boards folder which you created for esp01-1m
Remove ~/.platformio directory
Run your example, PlatformIO should install stable frameworks, toolchains. Then place boards folder back.

Thanks!

itsjustvenky · 2015-12-11T11:36:32Z

@ivankravets Sorry for the confusion. Please ignore the SDK part. I reverted everything back to how it was installed by platformio (followed your above steps). thanks.

ivankravets · 2015-12-11T11:49:55Z

I reverted everything back to how it was installed by platformio (followed your above steps). thanks.

Does it work?

itsjustvenky · 2015-12-11T13:12:17Z

Yes Arduino OTA works fine.

One more thing : in file "~/.platformio/packages/sdk-esp8266/version.txt" I see

esp_iot_sdk_v1.2.0_15_07_03

But the actual SDK version @platformio provides is 1.3.. right ?

itsjustvenky · 2015-12-11T13:17:32Z

If the "build_flags" is set in "platformio.ini", then it overrides the "ldscript" in custom boards json file.

ivankravets · 2015-12-11T13:19:08Z

But the actual SDK version @platformio provides is 1.3.. right ?

The actual is esp_iot_sdk_v1.2.0_15_07_03

If the "build_flags" is set in "platformio.ini", then it overrides the "ldscript" in custom boards json file.

Yes

P.S: Wait from me new PlatformIO 2.5.1.dev0 where all these features are implemented.

itsjustvenky · 2015-12-11T13:27:45Z

so you mean to say "esp_iot_sdk_v1.2.0_15_07_03" = 1.3 ?

itsjustvenky · 2015-12-11T13:28:52Z

In my arduino (ide) sdk version it is "1.3.0_15_08_10_p1" (arduino esp8266 sdk 2.0.0)

ivankravets · 2015-12-11T13:34:51Z

@itsjustvenky please don't mix ~/.platformio/packages/sdk-esp8266 and ~/.platformio/packages/framework-arduinoespressif/tools/sdk. If you specify framework = arduino in platformio.ini then PlatformIO uses SDK from Espressif Arduino Framework, otherwise for native project will be used ~/.platformio/packages/sdk-esp8266. See example https://github.com/platformio/platformio/tree/develop/examples/espressif/esp8266-native

ivankravets · 2015-12-11T13:38:15Z

I've just pushed new development version of PlatformIO 2.5.1.dev0.

Please remove own boards folder from PIO home
Install development version http://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/installation.html#d-development-version
Remove from your project extra scripts and left only

[env:esp01_1m]
platform = espressif
framework = arduino
board = esp01_1m
upload_port = YOUR_DEVICE_IP_HERE

Waiting for the feedback. If you need additional flags to uploader see http://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/projectconf.html#upload-flags

itsjustvenky · 2015-12-11T15:15:34Z

Installed dev version

venkat@venkat-VirtualBox:~$ platformio --version
PlatformIO, version 2.5.1.dev0

Test the Arduino-OTA and worked correctly.

Question : How do I revert back to 2.5.0 (release) ? if I want to

ivankravets · 2015-12-11T15:16:36Z

Test the Arduino-OTA and worked correctly.

Thanks!

Question : How do I revert back to 2.5.0 (release) ? if I want to

pip uninstall platformio
pip install platformio
