ESP32 / Re: olimex ESP32-EVB does not ...
Last post by jorn - January 20, 2023, 01:44:50 pmI've made a (temporary) fix/bodge in hardware to disconnect the RX and TX lines until the code is loaded.
This is done by putting a 2n2222 transistor in series with the TX and RX line. Then these transistors are connected to another 2n2222 acting as a not-gate.
The not-gate input is connected to gpio 14.
During boot the RX and TX will be 'disconnected' and when the code is ready to use the UART it wil pull GPIO 14 low.
I needed the not gate because all the pins I could use are pulled high on boot.
This seems to solve my problem for now.
p.s. I'm using these pins because I wanted to use the UEXT connector and not have to solder to the EVB

Last post by jorn - January 20, 2023, 10:40:13 amIn short the code reads in a sensor on gpio 16, when the sensor is high it will send and recieve data over serial to/from a barcode reader (RXD gpio 36 and TXD gpio 4, serial port 2). After that a UDP message will be send over ethernet and relay 1 will be triggered.
adding a delay to the start does not seem to work. I've tried 1s and 10s and in both cases I could still replicate the problem by pressing the reset button.
I'll try other code to see if I can replicate the problem.
-edit-
able to replicate problem with: https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/blob/master/libraries/Ethernet/examples/ETH_LAN8720/ETH_LAN8720.ino
by pressing the reset button
-edit2-
only seems to happen when the barcode reader is (powered and) connected to the RX and TX pins

Last post by LubOlimex - January 20, 2023, 10:00:34 amRevision I is good enough regarding the Ethernet, anything after revision E has protection TVS1 on the Ethernet. Probably the TVS1 got damaged by your setup somehow. Probably you can fix hte boards by changing the TVS1, first measure if it is damaged.
Taken from the revision changes:
https://github.com/OLIMEX/ESP32-POE-ISO/blob/master/HARDWARE/Hardware-changes-log.txt
"Hardware revision E (internal, unreleased):

Last post by recursinging - January 20, 2023, 09:53:21 amAll 10 are "Rev.I" (or "Rev.1"?).
Is there a newer hardware revision out? I need another 10 working boards right now.
I've been sorting the bad ones out by flashing the "ETH_LAN8720" example.

Very Interesting! So that why eth0 is getting 192.168.0.1 with out my wish....So lets add some '#' to dhclient config:

# fixed-address 192.168.0.1;

# rebind 2 2040/1/12 00:00:01;
# expire 2 2040/1/12 00:00:01;

Last post by jorn - January 19, 2023, 04:27:43 pmsometimes after power on or after programming the EVB will not load the programmed code but hang on the UART boot.
Via the terminal I'll get: rst:0x1 (POWERON_RESET),boot:0xf (UART_BOOT(UART0))
read somewhere it could be because of pin 2 not being held low during boot.
I've got a REV.k here any ideas?

Last post by NielsO - January 19, 2023, 11:20:15 amHi LubOlimex
The version is ESP32-GATEWAY-IND rev. G.
Could you please provide your iperf ethernet test results for ESP32 gateway in server mode. What is the bandwidth? Which framework did you use?
The ESP-IDF iperf test is working in client mode, also the ESP-IDF basic ethernet example is working - the device is getting IP in DHCP mode AND it is possible to ping the device.
We have also performed an ethernet speed test with Arduino where the bandwidth was measured to 700 Kbit/s.
We have experienced this ethernet speed problem with 2 different frameworks, that is why we reach out to you.
