Wifi disconnects

Hi, i'm working a project with a https webserver and some https client connections. This all seems to work fine on the v4.2 esp-idf release. But, when I'm trying to implement the OTA functionality (using the advanced_ota_https example as a basis), I consequently end up with disconnects of the wifi connection during the OTA:

I've tried this over multiple devices (lolin lite), all have the same behavior. When I flash the advanced_ota_https onto the device, I don't have the problem, so I'm probably doing something wrong here.

But even when I remove everything but the bare essentials and the OTA part, I still get this problem.

Hi gerardbos,
Would you be able to provide some of your code? Especially the code which handles WiFi connectivity

When I was starting, to get wifi up and running, I personally found that the easiest way was to start with the example_connect function from https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/bl ... /connect.c (referenced in a lot of other example projects). I then dug into the code for example_connect and began making edits as needed for my purposes. A simple example:

Code: Select all


#include "protocol_examples_common.h"

void app_main()
{
	ESP_ERROR_CHECK(example_connect());
}

To implement OTA, I found that it was simplest to start from the simple_ota_example, verify functionality and then proceed further

Just my two cents - this may not be applicable to your use case.

Yes, I can provide a sample of the code, I tried to strip it down as much as possible, but it still contains a lot of files (as this is part of a much larger system). I've placed the code here:

https://cloud.gbmb.nl/index.php/s/FaisxGrzT6YtnpS

Due to that the code runs on different devices, an extra layer is added to the code to run the WiFi part. Due to this, the code of the WiFi connection setup is different that the examples, but it should work the same. But please verify it.

The thing that I don't understand is, the WiFi connects perfectly, I can retrieve data over it (getting the "latest" file, containing the new image version). Then I start the OTA, and it can connect, read the header data, etc, but during the transfer, the WiFi connection goes from run to init with code 3c0 (Is there somewhere I can find the meaning of these codes?).
OTA fails due to closed connection, WiFi is setup again, and the rest of the system just works as it is intended to. Same hold for when I don't do the OTA, WiFi works, no disconnects, I even have long lived HTTPS connections, and they stay connected for days.

By the way, my WiFi code is based on the following example: https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/tr ... ed/station

And even though it is reshuffled a bit, it works fine for everything, except the OTA update. I have the idea that the OTA update triggers something in the WiFi code, but I can't pinpoint it.

I finally found the issue, after extensive debugging and version compare between the different WiFi examples.

The difference is in the sta config:

Code: Select all

                wifi_config_t sta_config = {0};

                esp_netif_t * ap_if = esp_netif_create_default_wifi_sta();
                esp_netif_set_hostname(ap_if, wifi_hostname);

                memcpy(sta_config.sta.ssid, ssid, strlen(ssid) + 1); 
                memcpy(sta_config.sta.password, password, strlen(password) + 1); 
                sta_config.sta.threshold.authmode = WIFI_AUTH_WPA2_PSK;
                // although my APs are capable, disable PMF for now, as it gives problems with huge data loads (ota)
                // When PMF is disabled, we can't connect to WPA3, so this can be disabled in the menuconfig as well
                sta_config.sta.pmf_cfg.capable = false;
                sta_config.sta.pmf_cfg.required = false;

                log(INFO, TAG, "Setting up sta mode to SSID: %s, with password: %s", sta_config.sta.ssid, sta_config.sta.password);
                err = esp_wifi_set_config(ESP_IF_WIFI_STA, &sta_config);
In the example I've used, the pmf_cfg.capable is true (which is not the case in the example_connect version).
As I have a pretty new AP in my home (UniFi 6 Lite), which should be able to support PMF but fails, disabling PMF solves the issue.

As for now, I don't know if the issue is because of the AP or because of the ESP32. If more research is needed, please let me know.
