New firmware 0.9.6.b1 and Pymakr v1.0.0.b7 released + new complete docs

livius

I have downgraded to 9.5 but installed new Pymakr
and now i can connect be new Pymakr to my WiPY by COM port
what was previousy not possible

abilio

As I mentioned in a previous post, I can confirm that there is a bug in the 0.9.6.b1 firmware. In case you want to downgrade and don't have the installer anymore, the download link now points to the version 0.9.5.b1 until further notice. Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you all for the support.

Edit: fixed, see note on initial post of this thread

abilio

We confirm that the initially released upgrader tools were affected by a bug. New installers are available and are identified as pycom_update_0.9.6.b1a.dmg, pycom_firmware_update_0.9.6.b1a.exe and pycom_update_0.9.6.b1a.tar.gz. The firmware version remains the same, and will be reported as 0.9.6.b1.

The problem does also occur on Linux!
Just not when using the 'update' shell script - but it does brick when installing with the Python gui...

abilio

@Roosted, the Linux tool is meant to be run from the shell script, but thanks for the report, now is also fixed.

Dear Pycom team,

the 0.9.6.b1 update looks ok. But would you mind to keep the git repository in sync with that? I'm using a slightly modified configuration of the firmware.

@abilio The fix works thank you

daniel

@robert-hh github is up to date with the latest release... what makes you think otherwise? Please also update the IDF (https://github.com/pycom/pycom-esp-idf) if you are having compilation errors...

Cheers,
Daniel

Hello Daniel, machine.freq() returned different values. But I have rebuild the code afain, and now it seems to match. I might have uploaded appimg.bin only in the first test with ftp, and not used "make flash" via USB.

@livius done, thanks :-)

Dear Pycom Team,
update successful to 0.9.6.b1 on my LoPy.
But crashes a few second after the end of the boot process....

Can I help in sending other data ?

daniel

@PCA does it crash if you boot in safe mode? (https://docs.pycom.io/pycom_esp32/pycom_esp32/general.html?highlight=safe boot#boot-modes-and-safe-boot)

What are your main.py and boot.py doing?

PCA

@daniel no crash in safe mode.
main.py is empty (just a comment)
boot.py is

the dupterm to the uart and
wifi connection to my Wlan (and it works as usual)
do you need the full code ?

Hi Daniel,

I received new LoPy yesterday. Using Ubuntu 16.04 / ttyUSB0 I was able to complete the update to firmware version 0.9.6.b1.

uos.uname().release
'0.9.6.b1'

Then when attempting to connect my LoPy to my WiFi router it receives 'Guru Meditation Error of type InstrFetchProhibited occurred on core 0.' Does a dump and reboots.

What is the cause of this?

I have tried multiple times with the same results.

I do not expect this to happen since I am following the guide exactly.

wlan = WLAN(mode=WLAN.STA)

... while not wlan.isconnected():
... machine.idle()
... print('WLAN connection succeeded!')
... break
...
...

@rdixey

Additional info:
I have a second new LoPy that i did not update and it connects to the WiFi network successfully using the code in the guide:

uos.uname()
(sysname='ESP32', nodename='ESP32', release='0.9.0b', version='8785822 on 2016-10-06', machine='LoPy with ESP32')

@rdixey
interesting - then bug was introduced in some recent firmware
i am also interesting because my WiPy2.0 also have the same problem like you
but my not restart (crash) only repeatedly print same and same info state: ....

P.S use ``` to include source code

JF002

I have the same issue as @rdixey : It crashed after w while (seconds) after a successful connection to my home wifi router.
Here is what i do:

>>> from network import WLAN
>>> wlan = WLAN(mode=WLAN.STA)
mode : sta(24:0a:c4:00:c0:52)
>>> wlan.connect('MY_SSID', auth=('WLAN.WPA2', '********************'))

I (25953) wifi: state: 3 -> 5 (10)
I (25970) wifi: connected with MY_SSID, channel 9

... Wait 10 seconds

This a brand new Lopy, updated to the "new" 0.9.6.b1 firmware:

>>> os.uname()
(sysname='LoPy', nodename='LoPy', release='0.9.6.b1', version='v1.8.6-40-gd10463e on 2016-11-25', machine='LoPy with ESP32')

Any idea?

@JF002 there is a new firmware, 0.9.7.b1. Can you test it and post your issue in case it keeps happening?
