T-Echo

Firmware Version

2.2.24.e6a2c06 Beta

Description

I have 2 T-Echo devices (v1 boards) that refuse to boot after installing 2.3.0. Multiple boot attempts all freeze at the same place.

Relevant log output

Can't confirm. Tried 2.3.0.5f47ca1 Alpha and also the latest master ee685b4. Both work on one of my T-Echos with board marked v1.0 2021-06-28. The board is equipped with BME280.

Seems PR #3375 related.

[pista01]

Maybe it's older than that. These are one of the first ones they shipped. I don't recall that there was an option for a BME280 back then.

One thing I would check is what version of the bootoader you have. https://meshtastic.org/docs/getting-started/flashing-firmware/nrf52/update-techo-bootloader/

[pista01]

I checked that already when I opened issue #3249. The test build of 2.2.25 from that issue worked. Nothing since.

@pista01 can you try this one?
#3406

[jeremybox]

The linked firmware has the same issue.

[pista01]

Is there a uf2 file somewhere? I don't have a dev env setup.

PR#3406 .uf2 for the T-echo here: https://github.com/meshtastic/firmware/actions/runs/8274137437/artifacts/1324540663

but please try this one first: https://github.com/meshtastic/firmware/actions/runs/8279238369/artifacts/1325679915

[pista01]

I tried them both. Both are working.

[jeremybox]

Both versions linked above still seem to freeze my device.

@jeremybox did you remove the file names under your first line? it should look like:

DEBUG | ??:??:?? 2 Filesystem files:
DEBUG | ??:??:?? 2  db.proto (331 Bytes)
DEBUG | ??:??:?? 2  config.proto (89 Bytes)
DEBUG | ??:??:?? 2  module.proto (113 Bytes)
DEBUG | ??:??:?? 2  channels.proto (97 Bytes)
(...)

could be a different issue. do you have any known working firmware version? or try flashing SoftRF, it runs a POST check on startup.

[jeremybox]

I did not edit the output. Additionally, I just tested and had no output at all under the SoftRF firmware. I then reflashed the meshtastic firmware and continue to have the blank filesystem files ouput. If you think I"m experiencing a different issue, I can file a separate ticket.
