wiced_ota_server_start undefined

[Geva_2134536]

Hello,

I am trying to include the wiced ota server into my application for upgrading.

I have looked at ota_fr as example. My board is SN8205 evk.

I am getting the error:

undefined reference to `wiced_ota_server_start'

From the example I added the following includes:

#include "wiced.h"

#include "wwd_debug.h"

#include "wiced_framework.h"

#include "wiced_ota_server.h"

In my Makefile I have added the following options:

$(NAME)_COMPONENTS := daemons/ota_server

#Set factory reset application to be this same application.

FR_APP    := $(OUTPUT_DIR)/binary/$(CLEANED_BUILD_STRING).stripped.elf

DCT_IMAGE := $(OUTPUT_DIR)/DCT.stripped.elf

Do I have to add something somewhere else to get this compiling?

Or any other action needed?

Cheers,

Gerard

This looks enough to me. Make sure that this is the actual problem that you are facing, if the library itself have a problem then it is not built and hence linking to it will fail (offcourse make sure the library itself is int libraries/daemons/ota_server

Try make clean first

Ah thanks, stupid me forgot to run the make clean.

It compiles now, and I get the OTA webinterface, however I upload the elf file of another userapp.

I see in the console it nicely uploads the file and ends with the restarting message.

But after this the board doesn't work anymore. Can I just use the default bootloader for this? Or does my bootloader also needs support for ota?

The WICED boot loader is responsible for loading the new application, so you need it.

Hi,

I am trying to understand, but don't really get it.

From the OTA server I see it uploads the app into: DCT_APP0_INDEX

When it is done it  sets the boot value to DCT_APP0_INDEX.

I then get the message restarting...

But now it restart and nothing happens, in the bootloader I see:

#ifdef PLATFORM_HAS_OTA

    NoOS_setup_timing( );

    if ( wiced_waf_check_factory_reset( ) )

    {

        wiced_dct_restore_factory_reset( );

        wiced_waf_app_set_boot( DCT_FR_APP_INDEX, PLATFORM_DEFAULT_LOAD );

    }

    NoOS_stop_timing( );

#endif

I left this piece commented out, because I don't want go back to another app.

I simply want to overwrite my current image with a new version, I included the OTA functionality in there to update.

So my guess was, it should load the new one here:

if ( load_details->source.id == EXTERNAL_FIXED_LOCATION )

    {

        /* Fixed location in serial flash source - i.e. no filesystem */

        wiced_waf_app_load( &load_details->source, new_entry_point );

    }

I would think I shouldn't edit the bootloader, functionality seems already in.

Could you give me a pointer on how to look at this?

EDIT

I search around some more on the forums and located this:

OTA Upgrade from the Application

This had a different approach than I was doing so I followed each step.

The only problem that I get now is when the download step is executed that I get the following:

Illegal division by zero at ./tools/text_to_c/sector_count.pl line 27.

Second edit

I found a solution for that here:

I am able to do an OTA upgrade now
