Interesting, It seams that the I2C master bus is not being initialised.

OK getting somewhere, every time you get a guru or kernel panic you need to hard shut down the core two for 5 seconds or the bug remains in memory.

ajb2k3

And there is the Issue:
0_1659771847735_Screenshot 2022-08-06 at 08.43.41.png

The code is not getting run in the correct order!

There was a man who had a dog and BINGO! was his Name-O!

1 Set forward.

ajb2k3

1 Step Forward!

from m5stack_ui import *
from uiflow import *
import i2c_bus
import machine
i2c = machine.I2C(scl=machine.Pin(22), sda=machine.Pin(21), freq=133000)

screen = M5Screen()
screen.clean_screen()
screen.set_screen_bg_color(0xFFFFFF)

label0 = M5Label('label0', x=15, y=43, color=0x000, font=FONT_MONT_14, parent=None)

print('Scan i2c bus...')
addresses = i2c.scan()
print(i2c.scan())
label0.set_text(str(i2c.scan()))

So the code get run out of order and crashes the i2c bus.

felmue

Hello @ajb2k3

are you doing multiple i2c.scan() calls on purpose? When I try that I only get an empty list. However doing only one scan works for me.

I went through older M5Core2 UIFlow firmware versions and all of them crash on me when using the ID unit with custom values for I2C (e.g. 21, 22) in order to access the ATECC608 in the AWS bottom. And UIFlow firmware 1.7.5 doesn't support the ID unit.

BTW: The ATECC608B has a sleep mode and when it is in that mode it will not show up during an I2C scan.

Thanks
Felix

ajb2k3

@felmue I'm doing multi scans because I'm not sure how do make one and pass the results to both the Label and print functions.

Yeh found out about the sleep mode, you have to hard reset the base plate to wake it up before running an i2C scan.
I'm running 1.10.2 and found the issue is in the i2C setup function.

addresses = i2c.scan()
Is just a left over function of what I was testing earlier.

ajb2k3

And more progress!
I have stable access to the Core2 AWS' ATECC608b

Hello @ajb2k3

thank you for putting together the guide. Unfortunately I cannot get it to work. I do not fully understand the following instructions from your guide.

Now I have the basics after poking away at micropython I import machine and units._ID0

import units
from units import _ID
ID_0 = unit.get(unit.ID, (21,22))

Using Thonny and ...
... trying to import units._ID0 results in an error.
... where is _ID used?
... trying to run ID_0 = unit.get(unit.ID, (21,22)) still crashes my M5Core2.

Thanks
Felix

ajb2k3

@felmue It will.
You have to run the commands in that exact order or it will crash and restart!

If you run help('modules') in Thonny you will find the module units/_ID this took me house to work out.

_ID0 does not exist, the module is _ID

felmue

Hello @ajb2k3

thank you. I appreciate all your help. Unfortunately for some reason I cannot get it to work on my side. Whatever steps I execute before, every time I try to execute ID_0 = unit.get(unit.ID, (21,22)) my M5Core2 crashes.

Thanks
Felix

ajb2k3

@felmue Sorry, you need to import unit
Then import units then from units import _ID

also the code is

import units
import unit
from units import _ID
ID_0 = unit.get(unit.ID, (21,22))

however you can also use:

import units
import unit
from units import _ID
ATECC = unit.get(unit.ID, (21,22))

I don't know why both unit and units (with an S) must be called but they both do.

felmue

Hello @ajb2k3

thank you again. I tried both your code sequences - still no luck. M5Core2 still reboots after the last command.

Which UIFlow firmware version is running on your M5Core2?

Thanks
Felix

ajb2k3

@felmue ok, its been working all day and now crashing
1.10.2

OK if you make 1 single mistake, you to to disconnect and power down the Core2 to empty the memory
0_1659898393874_Screenshot 2022-08-07 at 19.53.03.png

this works.

felmue

Hello @ajb2k3

at this point I think whether the commands succeed or result in a crash depends on the amount of free memory.
With a freshly rebooted M5Core2 the following commands (sometimes) can be executed w/o crash.

>>> import unit
>>> ID_0 = unit.get(unit.ID, (21,22))
>>> print(ID_0.wakeup())
True
>>> print(ID_0.readConfigZone())
Traceback (most recent call last):

Note: The commands need to be executed manually one by one.
Note: I don't need the import units nor the from units import _ID commands.

Agreed, once the error occurs then memory gets filled requiring hard reset.
You didn’t need unit or the from? I will try again later.
I have spent all weekend writing up the atecc for my av2 book including logging the MP modules. I’ll try without those two line tonight.

ajb2k3

The issue of found was that the basic unit functions are in the unit module with unit.ID being empty but the ATecc function are all in units._ID

ajb2k3

@felmue try adding the following before defining ID_0

From esp import gc
gc.collect.

This should help clean up some memory.

Nope that was wrong. the min code I can get running is

import unit
import units
from units import _ID
import gc
ATECC = unit.get(unit.ID, (21,22))
gc.collect()

Oh cool, I got import units._ID to work.
