Photon 2 - 5.8.0 regression - ethernet no longer supported?

Hardware
1

Hi all - it looks like there may be some oddities with the Photon 2 + deviceOS 5.8.0 + Ethernet, where the interface does not appear to be powered on.

I've checked against 5.0.0, 5.4.0, 5.6.0 - all of which are able to bring up the Ethernet interface - however it is unable to do so with deviceOS 5.8.0 - looking at the traces, there is no indication of attempting to power the interface up.

Simple test code, similar to what has been used in the ethernet testing thread:


// Include Particle Device OS APIs
#include "Particle.h"

// Let Device OS manage the connection to the Particle Cloud
SYSTEM_MODE(SEMI_AUTOMATIC);

// Run the application and system concurrently in separate threads
SYSTEM_THREAD(ENABLED);

// Show system, cloud connectivity, and application logs over USB
// View logs with CLI using 'particle serial monitor --follow'
SerialLogHandler logHandler(LOG_LEVEL_ALL);
// setup() runs once, when the device is first turned on
void setup() {
  // Put initialization like pinMode and begin functions here

    Serial.begin();
    pinMode(D10,INPUT);  // Argon D8, Photon2 D10  - ADR2
    pinMode(D7,INPUT);  // ADR1 no change
    pinMode(D6,INPUT);  //ADR0 no change
    pinMode(D2, OUTPUT); //TX_enable
    digitalWrite(D2,LOW); //receive is LOW, transmit is HIGH - set to LOW by default(RECEIVE) at start
    // To force Ethernet only, clear Wi-Fi credentials
    Log.info("Clear Wi-Fi credentionals...");

    WiFi.clearCredentials();

    if(System.featureEnabled(FEATURE_ETHERNET_DETECTION)){
        Log.info("FEATURE_ETHERNET_DETECTION enabled");
    }
    else{
        System.enableFeature(FEATURE_ETHERNET_DETECTION);
        Log.info("FEATURE_ETHERNET_DETECTION enabled");
        delay(500);
        System.reset();
    }
    

    if (Ethernet.isOff()){
        Ethernet.on();
        waitFor(Ethernet.isOn,15000);
        
    }

    Ethernet.connect();
    waitFor(Ethernet.ready,10000);
    Particle.connect();

}


void loop() {

    static system_tick_t lastPublish = millis();
    static int count = 0;
    static bool reconnect = false;

    if (Particle.connected()) {
        reconnect = false;
        if (millis() - lastPublish >= 10000UL) {
            //print ethernet ip address
            Log.info("Ethernet IP: %s", Ethernet.localIP().toString().c_str());
            Particle.publish("mytest", String(++count), PRIVATE, WITH_ACK);
            lastPublish = millis();
        }
    }


}

I think this might be related to a connection management bug. It may be fixed with this PR in 5.8.2, which will be released shortly.

Hi Rick - is there a projected timeframe for 5.8.2 to be updated in Workbench? - it seems to be released (or am I just crazy and can't find it)

Workbench 1.16.23 should be in the VSCode marketplace and include Device OS 5.8.2. It was released on Tuesday, July 2. However I have that version and 5.8.2 is not displaying for me either.

@rickkas7, I don't see 5.8.2 either on the latest Workbench.

I see the problem. You need to go into Settings, Extensions, Particle, and make sure the Enable Pre-release Device OS Buiilds checkbox is checked.

Another workaround: you can edit the .vscode/settings.json and change the particle.firmwareVersion to 5.8.2 like this:

After saving it, the DeviceOS toolchain was downloaded by VScode and I was able to use it.

It does not appear on the palette, but you are able to work with it until the official update comes to VScode.

So right now it does not look promising for 5.8.2 - exhibiting the same behavior as 5.8.0 with regards to ethernet.
I'll post some output of logs shortly, but it looks like it is only finding the WIFI interface, not the ETH

That's weird that it's going into listening mode.

I was able to connect to Ethernet successfully with 5.8.2 with a Photon 2. I used the Adafruit Ethernet FeatherWing and the default pin assignments.

This is the firmware I used:

#include "Particle.h"

SYSTEM_MODE(SEMI_AUTOMATIC);
SYSTEM_THREAD(ENABLED);

SerialLogHandler logHandler(LOG_LEVEL_TRACE);

void setup()
{
    // Comment out the following line in production; used only to see all serial debug messages
    waitFor(Serial.isConnected, 10000);
    delay(1000);

    System.enableFeature(FEATURE_ETHERNET_DETECTION);

    WiFi.clearCredentials();
    WiFi.off();

    Ethernet.on();

    Ethernet.setConfig(NetworkInterfaceConfig().source(NetworkInterfaceConfigSource::DHCP, AF_INET));

    Ethernet.connect();

    waitFor(Ethernet.ready, 10000);
    Particle.connect();
}

void loop()
{
}

Hmm - definitely odd.
I added a small Log message just to make sure I was actually flashing it to the device.

Just tried an Argon with 6.1.0 - that is also able to see the eth interface.

It seems that something odd is going on; can see the ethernet with Photon 2 5.0.0 up to 5.6.0, Argon 6.1, Argon 4.2.0, Argon 5.8.2 - but not a Photon 2 with 5.8.0-5.8.2
That's more than moderately weird.

In terms of schematic/Pins:

(edit: put correct schematic)

Can confirm similar behavior as jgu seeing. P2 5.8.x, particle usb network-interfaces never lists ethernet as an option. P2 5.6.0 does, even if userland code never tries to touch the ethernet, (likely as long as
System.enableFeature(FEATURE_ETHERNET_DETECTION); has been set in the past.)

My user code is:

void setup() {}

void loop() {
  Serial.printlnf("loop");
  delay(1000);
}

and usb network-interfaces still lists Ethernet as an optional interface

14

Following up with this again - checking after getting a new board spin back, and after vacation.
Still the same issue with Photon2 on 5.8.2 using Rick's demo code with a log message added-

#include "Particle.h"

SYSTEM_MODE(SEMI_AUTOMATIC);
SYSTEM_THREAD(ENABLED);

SerialLogHandler logHandler(LOG_LEVEL_TRACE);

void setup()
{
    // Comment out the following line in production; used only to see all serial debug messages
    waitFor(Serial.isConnected, 10000);
    delay(1000);

    System.enableFeature(FEATURE_ETHERNET_DETECTION);

    WiFi.clearCredentials();
    WiFi.off();

    Ethernet.on();

    Ethernet.setConfig(NetworkInterfaceConfig().source(NetworkInterfaceConfigSource::DHCP, AF_INET));

    Ethernet.connect();
    Log.info("Trying demo code");
    waitFor(Ethernet.ready, 10000);
    Particle.connect();
}

void loop()
{
}

Not exactly sure why the WIFI is being turned back on after being turned off explicitly - but the device is in blinking blue.

Same code, using 5.6.0 - able to connect successfully:

Hi all - from the forums, it looks like I'm not the only one with this particular issue - is there any insight as to how/if we are progressing on it?

Took a moment to check again with the 5.9.0 prerelease.
same as 5.8.2

@jgu Just a thought here - does your custom board have a separate 3V3 power rail for the ethernet adaptor? The P2 is very sensitive to its power supply and the WizNet 5500 appears to impact it. I have found that a feather ethernet adaptor worked with a Photon2 in prototyping but that moving to a custom board with a P2 it didn't. We have had to implement a separate 3V3 power rail.

18

Yep - we have the wiz5500is running of a 3v3 rail - we've moved to having the photon 2 powered off a separate 5v5 line into the VUSB pin (across a diode so if someone connects a USB device we don't backpower our board) so that it powers the photon 2's internal regulator - we end up with about 5.2V at the VUSB pin, which puts us within the (original) DC max spec limit for USB2.0 (5.25V) and well within the "newer" DC max spec limit for USB2.0 (5.5V).

19

Hi! Can you help me try the following at the top of your setup (OS5.9.0)?

void setup()
    if (!System.featureEnabled(FEATURE_ETHERNET_DETECTION)) {
        System.enableFeature(FEATURE_ETHERNET_DETECTION);
        System.reset();
    }
}

A note from our engineers is that a reset needs to be performed after System.enableFeature(FEATURE_ETHERNET_DETECTION);. There is an early boot check for this flag to perform W5500 detection or not, so it has to be set before setup() or STARTUP() has been called.

20

Hi Alberto -
With 5.9.0, still looks like similar behavior:

test code:

#include "Particle.h"

SYSTEM_MODE(SEMI_AUTOMATIC);
SYSTEM_THREAD(ENABLED);

SerialLogHandler logHandler(LOG_LEVEL_TRACE);

void setup()
{
    // Comment out the following line in production; used only to see all serial debug messages
    waitFor(Serial.isConnected, 10000);
    delay(1000);

    if (!System.featureEnabled(FEATURE_ETHERNET_DETECTION)) {
        System.enableFeature(FEATURE_ETHERNET_DETECTION);
        System.reset();
    }

    WiFi.clearCredentials();
    WiFi.off();

    Ethernet.on();

    Ethernet.setConfig(NetworkInterfaceConfig().source(NetworkInterfaceConfigSource::DHCP, AF_INET));

    Ethernet.connect();
    Log.info("Trying demo code");
    waitFor(Ethernet.ready, 10000);
    Particle.connect();
}

void loop()
{
}

result:

initialization completed result=0 (RAM start=10006000 end=10013bf8 reserved=00005000)

Note that the above is a trimmed down test code from the first post (where we did perform the reset if it was not set.

// Include Particle Device OS APIs
#include "Particle.h"

// Let Device OS manage the connection to the Particle Cloud
SYSTEM_MODE(SEMI_AUTOMATIC);

// Run the application and system concurrently in separate threads
SYSTEM_THREAD(ENABLED);

// Show system, cloud connectivity, and application logs over USB
// View logs with CLI using 'particle serial monitor --follow'
SerialLogHandler logHandler(LOG_LEVEL_ALL);
// setup() runs once, when the device is first turned on
void setup() {
  // Put initialization like pinMode and begin functions here

    Serial.begin();
    pinMode(D10,INPUT);  // Argon D8, Photon2 D10  - ADR2
    pinMode(D7,INPUT);  // ADR1 no change
    pinMode(D6,INPUT);  //ADR0 no change
    pinMode(D2, OUTPUT); //TX_enable
    digitalWrite(D2,LOW); //receive is LOW, transmit is HIGH - set to LOW by default(RECEIVE) at start
    // To force Ethernet only, clear Wi-Fi credentials
    Log.info("Clear Wi-Fi credentionals...");

    WiFi.clearCredentials();

    if(System.featureEnabled(FEATURE_ETHERNET_DETECTION)){
        Log.info("FEATURE_ETHERNET_DETECTION enabled");
    }
    else{
        System.enableFeature(FEATURE_ETHERNET_DETECTION);
        Log.info("FEATURE_ETHERNET_DETECTION enabled");
        delay(500);
        System.reset();
    }
    

    if (Ethernet.isOff()){
        Ethernet.on();
        waitFor(Ethernet.isOn,15000);
        
    }

    Ethernet.connect();
    waitFor(Ethernet.ready,10000);
    Particle.connect();

}


void loop() {

    static system_tick_t lastPublish = millis();
    static int count = 0;
    static bool reconnect = false;

    if (Particle.connected()) {
        reconnect = false;
        if (millis() - lastPublish >= 10000UL) {
            //print ethernet ip address
            Log.info("Ethernet IP: %s", Ethernet.localIP().toString().c_str());
            Particle.publish("mytest", String(++count), PRIVATE, WITH_ACK);
            lastPublish = millis();
        }
    }


}

And since I'm working with it, just tried that original one again right afterwards - still same behavior.
