New version, tagged and in the repository now: 2018-03-05 MWJ 3.0.991 OTA release support OTA updates over HTTP - Update ovms_module to use new API for per-task heap info. - Commands "time status" and "time set" for access to real-time clock. - Time zone support in config vehicle/timezone See GNU LIBC documentation for details on format https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/TZ-Variable.html - Auto start/init for wifi, modem, vehicle type, server v2 & v3 - Fix to SDCARD component to free SD_DATA1, SD_DATA2, and SD_DATA3 in 1-line mode (in particular so SD_DATA1/GPIO4 and SD_DATA3/GPIO13 can be used for UART to simcom modem for OVMS v3.1 hardware). https://www.esp32.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=4838 - Record statistics for CAN bus interrupts (per controller) and show in status. - Don't issue network.reconfigured event when network is down. - Auto start for ext12v & obd2ecu - Web config for timezone & distance units - Twizy web UI for features, battery properties & charge control - Support ESP IDF v3 style OTA updates over http This version is available via OTA (for both 3.0 and 3.1), but unfortunately you’ll need this version running to be able to do an http OTA ;-) If you want to try, then first flash it (as normal), then start wifi, then do ‘ota flash http’. Next version will be 3.0.992. Example: OVMS > ota flash http Current running partition is: factory Target partition is: ota_0 Download firmware from api.openvehicles.com/firmware/ota/v3.1/main/ovms3.bin to ota_0 Expected file size is 1970944 Preparing flash partition...

OTA flash was successful Flashed 1970944 bytes from api.openvehicles.com/firmware/ota/v3.1/main/ovms3.bin Next boot will be from ‘ota_0' OVMS > ota status Firmware: 3.0.991-dirty/factory/main build (idf v3.1-dev-453-g0f978bcb) Mar 5 2018 13:34:10 Running partition: factory Boot partition: ota_0 OVMS > metrics list m.ve m.version 3.0.991-dirty/factory/main build (idf v3.1-dev-453-g0f978bcb) Mar 5 2018 13:34:10 This is using the ESP IDF v3.x way of doing OTA binary images. The last 32 bytes of the image contains a sha256 checksum of the image (up to but not including the last 32bytes). The ESP IDF bootloader checks that. Seems to work, but a little bit flaky. Sometimes I can’t get DNS resolution. Anyway, OTA updates are available now, and I’ll try to improve on it over the next few days. Longer term, we want this to happen automatically, so long as module is on wifi. Perhaps once a day. We can worry about that later; for the moment, connect to the web interface then run ‘ota flash http’ from the console there. Regards, Mark.
