WiPy FW update OTA

[sanika]

Hi, I am trying to do FW update to WiPy module.
I am getting Exception: Failed to download http://192.168.0.87:8000/1.0.1/flash\config.py
But, if I type the same url in browser, config.py gets downloaded.
As there is no LoRa on WiPy, I altered the code in terms of trigger for update.
If "123" is entered through serial comm, it triggers the fw update.

from network import WLAN
import socket
import time
from OTA import WiFiOTA
from time import sleep
import pycom
import binascii
WIFI_SSID = "#####"
WIFI_PW = "#######"
SERVER_IP = "192.168.0.87"
from config import WIFI_SSID, WIFI_PW, SERVER_IP

# Turn on GREEN LED
pycom.heartbeat(False)
pycom.rgbled(0xff00)

# Setup OTA
ota = WiFiOTA(WIFI_SSID,
              WIFI_PW,
              SERVER_IP,  # Update server address
              8000)  # Update server port

# Turn off WiFi to save power
w = WLAN()
w.deinit()

# Initialize LoRa in LORAWAN mode.
#lora = LoRa(mode=LoRa.LORAWAN)

#app_eui = binascii.unhexlify('ENTER_ME')
#app_key = binascii.unhexlify('ENTER_ME')

# join a network using OTAA (Over the Air Activation)
#lora.join(activation=LoRa.OTAA, auth=(app_eui, app_key), timeout=0)

# wait until the module has joined the network
#while not lora.has_joined():
#    time.sleep(2.5)
#    print('Not yet joined...')

# create a LoRa socket
#s = socket.socket(socket.AF_LORA, socket.SOCK_RAW)

# create tcp socket for non-lora
#s=socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
# set the LoRaWAN data rate
#s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_LORA, socket.SO_DR, 5)
#tcp socket
#s.connect((SERVER_IP, 3000))
#s.send(MESSAGE)
# make the socket blocking
# (waits for the data to be sent and for the 2 receive windows to expire)
#s.setblocking(True)
print("created socket..now listening")
print("ip addr is", w.ifconfig())
while True:
    # send some data
    #s.send(bytes([0x04, 0x05, 0x06]))
    print(bytes([0x04, 0x05, 0x06]))
    # make the socket non-blocking
    # (because if there's no data received it will block forever...)
    #s.setblocking(False)

    # get any data received (if any...)
    #data = s.recv(64)
    data=input("enter 123 for firmware update")
    print("data", data)
    # Some sort of OTA trigger
    #if data == bytes([0x01, 0x02, 0x03]):
    if data=="123":
        print("Performing OTA")
        # Perform OTA
        ota.connect()
        print("OTA connect")
        ota.update()

    sleep(5)

Please edit your post and add ˋ`ˋ on separate lines before and after your code so it gets properly formatted.

It could be due to the backslash rather than a forward slash. What OS are you running the server on? When the WiPy tries to download this file do you see a message from the server that it has tried?

@seb Yes, I see message that it requested. I am running server on my windows system.
I thought the same that issue is with backward slash. But, if I copy-paste the same url i.e. with backward slash, the file gets downloaded.
So, I thought something might be wrong on client running on pycom board.
It is getting manifest.json successfully.
The issue is with "Get file".

Thank you,
Sanika

Hi,

It's likely that your web browser is automatically correcting this but the wipy is not, the manifest downloads ok because it has no backslashes in the URL. Could you add the following line to OTA_server.py and let me know if it fixes the issue:

def generate_manifest_entry(host, path, version):
    path = "/".join(path.split(os.path.sep))  # Add this line
    entry = {}
