@daniel said in New firmware release, version 1.6.0.b1:

bytes = self._socket.recv(512)

One hint if i can suggest something
what if you send something to this socket and this line recive some data?

bytes = self._socket.recv(512)

is this still the same result?
I can test it self only in the evening (and only on different socket - Wipy2) - but maybe result is different and you can find something interesting
If not then we can only wait for @Neo to provide some sample

@crankshaft good point

@daniel It is strange that yesterday using this script the LoPy was hanging ... today I re powered and I didn't reproduce it anymore. It is true that yesterday I did a lot of operation before.

However the entire solution is still hanging and I need to understand why on 1.5.0 this is working and 1.6.x is not working.

[Neo]

@daniel It is still hanging. There is diff between your output and my output.... and I know why. My script is embedded in the app importing some additional modules.... that why mem is starting from 20K and not 50K as yours. Some of these modules have some static data and some of them have thread locks and Wifi data. Let me check.... the circle radius it will be reduced if I will take it one by one.

@Daniel I changed the LopY with new one + upgrade to 1.6.3b1 and I ran only your script. Now the output is the same as yours... .but it ALWAYS hanging after the mem displays 400. Here is the output:

@Neo On my LopY I have the same behavior. It is not necessary to iterate until end. Put gc.collect() after that sleep and .... that's it.

I'm having big FTP stability problems after updating to this version. When I upload stuff it fails about half the time. Anyone else having problems with that? The problem is especially bad when uploading multiple files in one go.

@daniel said in New firmware release, version 1.6.0.b1:

could it be that your file system is corrupted from previous firmware versions? Could you try:
import os
os.mkfs('/flash')

to format the file system and start from scratch...
Cheers,
Daniel

formated and tested on 1.6.1.b1 and still file corruption :(
now i am testing 1.6.3
on the left you have oryginal file - on the right corrupted

UPDATE
flashed to 1.6.3
formated and error is same -

but!

It is not visible at start see steps:

1. write e.g. test.py (copy normal onewire content twice to this file on computer)
2. copy this file to wipy throught ftp
3. download it and see if it is ok - yes it is ok
4. disable power (totally)
5. power on wipy
6. connect to it by ftp and download test.py - now it is corrupted

UPDATE2
It looks like it happened not always
after few try storing file and restart i finally have file ok (strange)

I confirm the issue with bluetooth callback disabled in 1.6.0.b1 is solved in 1.6.3.b2.
thanks @daniel

[Neo]

@Daniel On LoPy with 1.6.3.b2 the issue with the gc.collect()/memeory release is till persistent. Please run that test file with the LoRa socket recv and check it.

When do you think that we will have a fix for this? It is CRITICAL from many people point o view.

(sysname='LoPy', nodename='LoPy', release='1.6.3.b2', version='v1.8.6-464-g0f843911 on 2017-02-17', machine='LoPy with ESP32', lorawan='1.0.0')

[daniel]

@Neo I agree it's super CRITICAL. It's on the top of our priorities at this moment. We'll do our best to resolve it ASAP.

Cheers,
Daniel

I also still have this bug... I was hoping it would be resolved in this update (1.3.6), but it doesn't seem to be the case... Do you want us to fill a bug on github?

Thanks!

[daniel]

@JF002 yes please do report it on Github with a piece of code to reproduce the issue easily (include your boot.py as well if possible). Thanks!

Here it is :) https://github.com/pycom/pycom-micropython/issues/82

@daniel - as you requested, I re-posted my issues / bugs on github duplicating the posts I already made on the this forum, and surprise, surprise, no replies on the github issues either.

I am very disappointed that despite posting my issues, nobody has taken a few minutes to verify / validate or even ask me any questions regarding these issues, I think that you really need to review your priorities.

I have spent the last week porting my code to ESP8266 and I face none of the issues that I posted on this forum regarding guru mediation crashes, intermittent loss of socket connections etc etc etc.

Remember that it takes a long time to develop a good reputation, and very little time to loose it !

:-(

[daniel]

@crankshaft we have seen your issues and we are working on fixing them, but it takes time, the ESP-IDF is in an unstable state which doesn't make things easy.

[crankshaft]

@daniel - someone needs to reply to each issue posted by users, we are not mind readers !
