Hi, Thanks for the advice - managed to get backtraces but looks like I need to keep old ovms3.elfs. I didn't realise there is a full gdb - I found an option in 'make menuconfig" to write coredump to "flash" - will that work? Is Is there enough room? If I can get a full core file I can scratch in the stack frames and perhaps better understand that went wrong. Steve On Fri, 1 Jan 2021 at 12:54, Michael Balzer <dexter@expeedo.de> wrote:
Steve,
decode your backtraces using the "a2l" script (see support folder) and the .elf file of the build the crash occured with. The script by default uses the latest .elf file.
You can find the crash backtraces of previous crashes on the server in table "*-OVM-DebugCrash" (kept for 30 days).
Known crash issues: https://github.com/openvehicles/Open-Vehicle-Monitoring-System-3/issues?q=is...
Any help with finding crash reasons is appreciated. I still am under the impression the PSRAM bug isn't solved for all edge cases, but also am certain we can find fatal bugs in our code as well.
Regards, Michael

Hi Ethan,
Thanks for the info. Naively doesn't seem like a javascript program should be able to crash the whole system.
I did think about rather posting to ABRP from the server side - IE as data is sent to the server then code on the server sends the update to ABRP.
But maybe I buried the lead, which really was to find out how I can get a lower level view of what crashed the board, and how to turn those memory addresses into a better idea as to where in the code the crash occurred.
Do you know, or Michael can you help?
Thanks, Steve

I too have crashes often when running the ABRP plugin on my NL ‘13. I’ve resorted to using the LeafSpy/BT option instead on long drives as it’s very unreliable.

Well something had obviously gone off the rails since eventually the OVMS seemed to crash - couldn't ping it - and didn't come back.
I power-cycled it and it came back and got a GPS lock.
Was there ever discussion of a watchdog to reset things if it goes wonky?

Hi,
I went for a scenic drive partly to test my OVMS I3 stuff and feeding data to ABRP.
When I got home I found that ABRP had my drive ending say 15km from home. And when I checked OVMS it also thought I was in the same spot.
[6315S] v.p.altitude 65.4m [6315S] v.p.direction 97.5° [6315S] v.p.gpshdop 1 [9999S] v.p.gpslock yes [6315S] v.p.gpsmode AN [6315S] v.p.gpsspeed 18.7052km/h [6315S] v.p.latitude -34.0808 [-----] v.p.location [6315S] v.p.longitude 18.4327 [5282S] v.p.odometer 14901km [6315S] v.p.satcount 9 [5195S] v.p.speed 0km/h [5195S] v.p.trip 85km
You can see that the metrics are very old (I show more digits in my version).
I then looked further and no metrics seemed to be updating - for instance the m.time.utc wasn't updating.
I was starting to look at it when my OVMS rebooted (which seems to happen sometimes. I've also had the logging stop - I noticed one less task so I presume that's related).
Last boot was 127 second(s) ago Time at boot: 2020-12-31 19:10:09 SAST This is reset #8 since last power cycle Detected boot reason: Crash (12/12) Reset reason: Exception/panic (4) Crash counters: 1 total, 0 early

After this crash and restart m.time.utc was empty. I rebooted and its still missing - does it only appear once NTP syncs or something?
Also I have no GPS position, gpsmode or anything like that (but I have a 3G session with the hologram sim and roaming on one of the local cellular operators).
I've made sure the GPS puck is out in the open and I guess I'll wait - does the time come from the GPS? And any ideas why I'm not getting a GPS lock suddenly?
Apart from that - how do I debug crashes? I went looking for some sort of loader memory map in the build directory to try turn the PC and backtrace addresses into something more useful but didn't pick up anything.
Thanks Steve
