OSPI – UI not coming up after update

[Sebastian]

I did a firmware update by executing as pi user:

git pull
./build.sh ospi

then rebooted the OS and the UI is not coming up.

I see the “OpenSprinkler” process running as root but when I go to port 8080 I get the connection refused.

Is there a log file that I can check to see what happens?

Thanks.

I did some more testing:

$ git checkout 2.1.8
Branch 2.1.8 set up to track remote branch 2.1.8 from origin.
Switched to a new branch ‘2.1.8’
$ sudo ./build.sh ospi
Building OpenSprinkler…
gpio.cpp: In function ‘void attachInterrupt(int, const char*, void (*)())’:
gpio.cpp:411:14: error: ‘delay’ was not declared in this scope
Done!
The binary was not updated.

$ git checkout 2.1.7
Branch 2.1.7 set up to track remote branch 2.1.7 from origin.
Switched to a new branch ‘2.1.7’
$ sudo ./build.sh ospi
Building OpenSprinkler…
Done!
$ sudo /etc/init.d/OpenSprinkler.sh restart

Checked the UI and it works.

$ git checkout master
Switched to branch ‘master’
$ sudo ./build.sh ospi
Building OpenSprinkler…
Done!
$ sudo /etc/init.d/OpenSprinkler.sh restart

Checked the UI and it does NOT work.

About page lists:

App Version: 1.7.9
Firmware: 2.1.7
Hardware Version: OSPi – AC

first of all, apologies for the confusion about branch 2.1.8: any branch named 2.1.8 or 2.1.7 is development branch, we should have deleted them, you should only check out from the master branch, or download the Release file. We only have release tags 218, 217 etc., the branches 2.1.8, 2.1.7 etc should have been deleted.

Second, I just checked out a from master, compiled and run it on my RPi, it works fine, I don’t see UI hanging issue. My about page shows:
App Version 1.8.0
Firmware 2.1.8(1)

I would suggest that you try to use a private browsing window or clear browser cache, to avoid any browser cache issue. If that still isn’t working, delete your firmware folder and re-install firmware to see if that works.

@Sebastian I would suggest performing the following steps:

git checkout master
git pull
sudo ./build.sh ospi
sudo /etc/init.d/OpenSprinkler.sh restart

See if that helps your issue. A restart after the following steps if the issue persist might help.

Let us know what you find.

Thanks!

I just did what Samer recommended, same outcome:

My major concern is that “netstat -an” doesn’t even list as listening on port 8080.

With the latest version I get:

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:80              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:22              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN

even though I do see the process running:

pi@ospi ~/OpenSprinklerGen2 $ ps aux | grep Open
root 7127 2.0 0.2 11568 2020 ? Sl 12:08 0:03 /home/pi/OpenSprinklerGen2/OpenSprinkler

with 2.1.7 I get:

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:8080            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:80              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:22              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN

I even did:

sudo rm -rf OpenSprinklerGen2
git clone https://github.com/OpenSprinkler/OpenSprinklerGen2.git
cd OpenSprinklerGen2/
sudo ./build.sh ospi
sudo /etc/init.d/OpenSprinkler.sh restart

same outcome. The process is NOT listening to port 8080.

OpenSprinklerGen2.git??? that’s not where the firmware is. The correct firmware is at:
https://github.com/OpenSprinkler/OpenSprinkler-Firmware

Maybe try rebooting your RPi. Also, I assume you have a fairly recent Raspbian, otherwise the issue could be due to IPv6 binding. In any case, I tried on two of my RPis and both work fine, so I can’t reproduce the issue.

[Ray]

By the way, I don’t think you should solely rely on netstat — I tried on a third RPi: RPi 0 WiFi, port 8080 doesn’t show up in netstat and still I can access its web interface at :8080

This is the link with install instruction
and is write OpenSprinklerGen2.git…

By the way no solution at the moment…

How to revert back to 2.1.7?

[Ray]

If your firmware folder is named OpenSprinklerGen2.git, chances are you started from the pre-configured SD card image, which was from more than 3 years ago, and as was discussed in various other threads, is not compatible with the latest firmware anymore due to IPv6 support. What you need to do is to install the latest Raspbian, and follow instructions here:
https://openthings.freshdesk.com/solution/articles/5000631599-installing-and-updating-the-unified-firmware
to install firmware.

@bol: you said “This is the link”, without giving a link. If you can post the link, we will fix outdated information.

If you want to revert back to firmware 2.1.7, you can follow instructions here:
https://opensprinkler.com/forums/topic/opensprinkler-unified-firmware-compilation-error/#post-50250
But next time you update you will encounter the same problem. So it’s better to update your Raspbian now than to wait later.

OK, good catch. I’ve updated that page. Turns out it didn’t matter as OpenSprinkleGen2.git is aliased to OpenSprinkler-Firmware. So that’s not the issue turns out.

What caught my attention is this post:
https://opensprinkler.com/forums/topic/after-update-no-access-via-opensprinkler/#post-51356
it might have to do with the app version. Are you using the OpenSprinkler mobile app to access it, or direct web (by using IP address)?
