pybytes coredump

[Eric Waai]

Hi as far as i know there is not a single place to drop coredumps and the conditions in which this happend for pybytes.
maybe this is a good place to collect al those.

i got this one when i was connection to the flash filesystem in pybytes while it was sending something to pybytes.
clearly it couldn't handle it.

i did reboot an successfully reconnect to pybytes.

and maybe the caracter limit should at least allow us to post a coredump?
or least allow the upload of a txt file?

Error publish 119

i Don't have that exact software version anymore and you couldn't do much with it because it communicates via CAN-bus with some other devices you probably don't have.
the sending to pybytes parts looks a lot like the provided example.

the time it crashed i didn't update a part i only tried to open the flash tab in pybytes.

i get the

Error publish [Errno 12] ENOMEM

more if i increase the wait time between some data bursts. with 60 seconds almost never but with 600 seconds more often.

@eric-waai You wrote, that you had this error while you tried to update some code, while your device was sending some data to pybytes.

If you could give the code which was running on your device and the code that you tried to update, I could try to replicate your error at our end.

Thank you:)

@jirkakrepl
with the filesystem
if i edit a file , for example something like this

lib/pysense.py
Device file | 183 bytes | Last synchronization: a month ago    ping    offline

from pycoproc import Pycoproc

__version__ = '1.4.0'

class Pysense(Pycoproc):

    def __init__(self, i2c=None, sda='P22', scl='P21'):
        Pycoproc.__init__(self, i2c, sda, scl)

when i edit p21 to p23

2 seconds later it automatically switch back to 21

@jirkakrepl said in pybytes coredump:

What is your which is sending signals to Pybytes, please?

i have no idea what you mean by this sentence.

[jirkakrepl]

Hi, @eric-waai FiPy has 4MB of RAM, which should be enough. Could you please send us the code you're trying to upload? Is that happening every time?

What is your which is sending signals to Pybytes, please?

We deployed the fix, it works now.

[Eric Waai]

@jirkakrepl i have no idea how much RAM my device has. i have 2 fipy's

i also get

Error publish [Errno 12] ENOMEM

sometimes
and

error publish 118

when both that errors appear i think the socket is not closed properly
it will never reconnect successful automatically
it always need a hard reset

about the OTA. if i use the file editor it automatic clears my edits after a few seconds. it is pretty unusable at this point.

[jirkakrepl]

Hi @eric-waai, which device have you tried with "Flash filesystem OTA", please?

One cause of this problem might be the amount of RAM device have.

Have you tried with a device with 512KB of RAM or 4MB of RAM?
If you have a device with 4MB of RAM I highly recommend using that one with "Flash filesystem OTA".

Devices with 512KB of ram don't work well with "Flash filesystem OTA" at this moment.

We're going to create a warning for this in Pybytes

[Eric Waai]

i got an other error

it did recover successfull

Error check_msg -80

I'll look into increasing character limit / allowing .txt uploads. alternatively. a service like gist.github.com or pastebin.com works for crash dumps.

Ill raise this crash with the pybytes team however. Thanks for reporting it.
