Just had a thought.

Events used to be synchronous, but we switched to deliver in a different task. Maybe the startup sequence relies on that in some way.

Seems identical. The changes don’t seem to affect the dispatch of the system.start event.

I think it must be a race condition.

Mark,

a similar issue was happening on some Smart ED and fixed by Dimitrie later on:

https://github.com/openvehicles/Open-Vehicle-Monitoring-System-3/issues/293

I thought that was a Smart specific issue, maybe I was wrong.

Still stumped…

The OTA code doesn’t call GetOVMSVersion(), but instead just looks at StandardMetrics.ms_m_version (which we know is blank). That is why this is happening.

But why is StandardMetrics.ms_m_version empty (as is the hardware value as well).

The ovms_version code hooks into ’system.start’ event, and sets the version and hardware metrics. So, obviously that is not being called. That event is raised just after ’Starting USB console…”. The event is also listened to be ovms_time, ovms_mdns, and swcan.

MDNS outputs “Starting MDNS” when it sees that. The ovms_time sets the environment variable TZ. Your car is showing:

ovms> time status
...
Vehicle Response:
  Time Zone:  Not defined
  UTC Time:   2020-01-30 05:00:53 UTC
  Local Time: 2020-01-30 05:00:53 GMT
  Provider:   None

So looks like TZ is not being set. Presumably that means the call is not happening. I had a look at the ovms_events code, but can’t find anything obvious.

So, tried a hacky test:

ovms> metric list version
...
Vehicle Response:
  m.version

ovms> event raise system.start
...
Vehicle Response:
  Raising event: system.start

ovms> metric list version
...
Vehicle Response:

🤢

Can you try to boot from USB (module reset) and provide the serial boot log? Particularly around the lines ’Starting USB console’.

Maybe a race condition at startup, or some other issue delivering events early on?

Only other thing I see are some scripts on /store/events regarding vehicle on/off - perhaps you can try disabling those to see if they trigger the issue? I tried recreating them on my box, but couldn’t repeat your problem.

Greg,

It seems your car can’t pickup currently running firmware version:

ovms> open ROADSTER834B
Connected and logged in to ROADSTER834B
ovms> metric list version
...
Vehicle Response:
  m.version

By comparison, here’s mine:

ovms> metric list version
...
Vehicle Response:
  m.version                                3.2.008-121-g4c6c9fe/ota_1/edge (build idf v3.3-beta3-775-gdc1ca69 Jan 29 2020 00:00:52)

Your m.hardware metric is also blank.

I’ll keep looking, but at the moment this seems bizarre.

Regards, Mark.

Hi Mark, Michael,

Seems like what is happening is that the module keeps thinking a new
update is available.  Today was especially active for some reason.
Screenshot of the Android application's log screen, attached.  All
versions appear to be the same.  The car has simply been sitting in the
garage on WiFi; no transitions of network access.

Output of 'ota status' attached as well.

Sorry, but I don't appear to have logging enabled. What specifically
would you like logged?

Greg

Not normal. Can you send us the logs. Also the output of ‘ota status’ would be helpful.

Are you sure this isn't just a notification of the update, and is the update itself? Perhaps a screenshot of the double notifications you receive?

Regards, Mark.

Hi folks,

I moved my car's OVMSv3 to the Edge firmware a bit ago, and notice that
every update seems to be doubled.  Besides being a bit annoying, it ends
up without a previous version to fall back to since both partitions end
up being the same.

Is this behavior normal?  Can it be prevented?

I'm only on Edge because of the bug in obd2ecu, and will probably move
to EAP after we get an EAP build with the fix in it.  Is the behavior
the same there?

I used to be on Main, and all seemed fine there.

Thanks,

Greg
