How to run evkmimxrt1060_lwip_httpssrv_ota_freertos?

felix1 — Tue, 07 Jan 2020 11:47:54 GMT

I want to add OTA function to my application, so I test the SDK sample evkmimxrt1060_lwip_httpssrv_ota_freertos, but fail to run. How to fix it?

my steps are:

SW7 setting: 0010

1) program evkmimxrt1060_ota_bootloader (using default address 0x60000000)

2) program evkmimxrt1060_lwip_httpssrv_ota_freertos (using default address 0x60040000)

3) press SW4 to reset

I can not connect EVK using browser, and the EVK RJ45 connector LED is not flash. I guess the application not run.

Hi NXP,

Can you give me a suggestion about SDK sample? Or guide me how to do OTA?

I got the following messages from bootloader, but still failed to connect EVK using browser.

Have anyone tried the OTA sample?

evkmimxrt1060_ota_bootloader seems stuck in get_active_peripheral(), why?

Hi Felix Shih,

Sorry for our later reply!

Please tell me which SDK version you are using? SDK2.7.0?

All the examples in the SDK is tested.

Do you fully follow the SDK ota bootloader and lwip_httpssrv_ota readme to test it?

Have a great day,
Kerry

1) SDK_2.7.0_EVK-MIMXRT1060

2) evkmimxrt1060_ota_bootloader, evkmimxrt1060_lwip_httpssrv_ota_freertos

follow the readme to test it. You can tell me which readme item should be noticed, maybe I not notice it.

3) If you can jump to the application success, please give your console log for me to trace the steps.

Hi Kerry,

any updated information?

Hi Felix Shih,

Sorry for my later reply, there are really too many cases on the queue.

I will find time to test it, and give you the log, and I have contact with our SDK testing team, they confirmed this example works.

So, please give me more time, after I test it, I will let you know the log and result.

Thanks a lot for your understanding.

Best Regards,

Kerry

1. Login to ALM project (as in your example code, declare 'td' object then login and connect to an ALM project)
2. Get hold of a Test object from TDConnection object, then TestFactory object by the ID or name of the test case.
3. Use 'CoverRequirement' method of Test object to add a requirement to be covered by this test, by requirement ID.
4. Use 'RemoveCoverage' mthod of Test object to remove the requirement object.

Is there any opictorial representation(diagram) of object model available listing the objects and fuctions through which can understand the flow.

Hi Madison,

About the above steps, I do not know what it means?

Hi Kerry,

Do you have time to test OTA sample before Chinese New Year?

Hello Felix,

Which toolchain do you use?

How do you program the bootloader and the application to FLASH memory?

Do you use debugger in IDE or do you program it using flash loader (e.g. blhost)?

The intended workflow is to program the bootloader, let it run at lease once (the bootloader creates default partition set, i.e. formats the FLASH) and then program the application and reboot. The example in the final 2.7.0 release should be then able to start from cold boot without issues.

Best regards, Pavel

Hi Pavel,

my steps are as fellow,

IDE: MCUXpresso IDE v11.1.0
SDK: SDK_2.7.0_EVK-MIMXRT1060
HW: MIMXRT1060-EVK

1) use MCUXpresso to program evkmimxrt1060_ota_bootloader
see the following messages from UART,
...
Running bootloader...
Bootloader version K2.7.0
Initing HID

2) use MCUXpresso to program evkmimxrt1060_lwip_httpssrv_ota_freertos

3) press SW3 to reboot

still just the bootloader messages from UART,
...
Running bootloader...
Bootloader version K2.7.0
Initing HID

Hello Felix,

I was able to reproduce the issue and it seems to be related to MCUX build of OTA bootloader - it is fine with other toolchain(s). This is indeed a bug, unfortunately root cause and workaround it not known yet. I am creating ticket for this.

Best regards, Pavel

Any update on this?

I am having the same issue with my own custom MIMXRT1061 board.

The system eternally waits for HID initialization with: 'Initing HID' message.

I have exactly the same question.

I am using the MIMXRT1060-EVK and I'm trying to run the SDK 2.7's evkmimxrt1060_httpssrv_ota_freertos example via MCUXpresso IDE. This example runs a webserver through which I should be able to upload new firmware.

From reading the the httpssrv_ota_freertos readme.txt, it seems I first need to write ota_bootloader to flash. So I get the SDK's evkmimxrt1060_ota_bootloader code, and build it. Then I launch and load the debugger. SW7 is set to 0010 (QSPI flash).

During execution, main() gets stuck in bootloader_init(). Specifically, it hangs in get_active_peripheral():

Thread #1 1 (Suspended : Step)
   get_active_peripheral() at bl_main.c:425 0x600061ce
   bootloader_init() at bl_main.c:583 0x600061ce
   main() at bl_main.c:639 0x600061ce

It never exits this loop. No diagnostic messages appear via the serial port.

Can you help me execute the httpssrv_ota_freertos example??

regards

-Rob

Hi Rob Yu,

Do you try to download the ota_bootloader release version at first instead of the debug version? This version should works.

Kerry

hi Kerry,

I just cleaned + rebuilt the project as a "release" version, then executed it from the debugger.

The LED flashes and I don't see anything on serial port terminal (I don't know if this is expected from a "release" executable).

When I hit the pause button, I can see that execution is still in bootloader_init()--it never gets to bootloader_run().

Thread #1 1 (Suspended : Signal : SIGINT:Interrupt)
usb_hid_poll_for_activity() at usb_hid_msc_peripheral_interface.c:119 0x600062b2
get_active_peripheral() at bl_main.c:425 0x60005ace
bootloader_init() at bl_main.c:583 0x60005ace
main() at bl_main.c:639 0x60005ace

Do you have any suggestions for how to proceed? Is the executable looking for a USB peripheral and not finding it?

Hi Rob Yu,

I will find time to test it on my side, please keep patient, any updated information, I will let you know.

Hi All

Note that the uTasker project has supported HTTP OTA web server upgrade integrated (also encrypted uploads) so can be used without needing to solve problems with examples and saves professional projects time. It also works on all standard processors and boards without any porting effort:
