Hi, I get the following crash when I try to update the node in my sketch, any idea of the cause? If a make a standalone sketch just to test the upgrade it (sort of) works, it doesn't crash and it works not immediatly after I program it to the node, but works after programming and reseting the node. I'm using the NodeMCU 0.9 configuration, with a custom board with an ESP12 module. Could it be a RAM issue, since it works with a simple sketch and not with this sketch?

Thanks in advance!

Fernando

Code:

Code: Select all

  Serial.println("\nChecking if there is an updated firmware");
  t_httpUpdate_return ret = ESPhttpUpdate.update(upgradeFile);
  Serial.print("Update: ");
  Serial.println(ret);
  switch(ret) {
       case HTTP_UPDATE_FAILED:
          Serial.printf("HTTP_UPDATE_FAILD Error (%d): %s", ESPhttpUpdate.getLastError(), ESPhttpUpdate.getLastErrorString().c_str());
          break;

      case HTTP_UPDATE_NO_UPDATES:
          Serial.println("HTTP_UPDATE_NO_UPDATES");
          break;

      case HTTP_UPDATE_OK:
          Serial.println("HTTP_UPDATE_OK");
          break;
  }

Result:

Answering to my question, might be useful to others, if I move the update code to the start of the sketch it seems to work, so it seems that it is a RAM issue, the ESPhttpUpdate class might need some memory error handling in order to avoid the system crash without any additional information. Currently I am calling it after initializing another class that uses some 'large' RAM buffers, so it might not leave enough RAM for the ESPhttpUpdate.

Best regards

Fernando

Hello Fernando,

Thanks for the post.

Thanks for providing the "ESP8266 WeatherStation Getting started" book.

At this moment I am engaged in developing the ESP8266 module which measures temperature and humidity.

Concerning Over The Air (OTA) update , I need to do it using HTTP Server.

But I cannot be able to find much resources in detailed on the internet.

Could you help me regarding this?
