nRF52840Dongle: ot-daemon keep disconnecting when executing ot-ctl commands about ot-nrf528xx HOT 25 CLOSED

From the logs, it appears that the RCP is resetting unexpectedly.

./build/posix/src/posix/ot-daemon[6555]: [CRIT]-PLAT----: Unexpected RCP reset: RESET_POWER_ON

I tried to reproduce this issue using the latest main branch (098b6da), but was unable to reproduce the issue.

@nageshshamnur , is there anything that may cause your USB dongle to reset and/or power cycle?

@LuDuda @MarekPorwisz , thoughts?

from ot-nrf528xx.

@jwhui : Thanks for the reply. i am not sure why reset power cycle has triggered? i am not doing anything extra other than executing ot-ctl commands in a different console. I have tried innumerable number of times. More than rest power event what i have seen more prominent is the following 2 issues (in both DK and dongle):

This seems to me that the daemon and RCP are incompatible with each other. Can use build the ot-daemon with the same revision of ot-nrf528xx/openthread?

@wgtdkp , the two commits are pretty close together:

ot-daemon:

RCP:

I'm not aware of any incompatibility between those commits.

@nageshshamnur , I noticed that you are building out of nrf-connect-sdk. Can you try cloning the OpenThread repos directly and building both ot-daemon and RCP straight out of the OpenThread repos?

Latest ot-br-posix main branch is openthread/ot-br-posix@2206d84. Note that ot-br-posix does not make use of ot-daemon.

while building RCP for nRF52840 DK, i have tried both the options, but issue still remains the same:

script/build nrf52840 USB_trans 

script/build nrf52840 USB_trans -DOT_THREAD_VERSION=1.2

from ot-nrf528xx.

Hello @nageshshamnur,

When you try to build with USB_trans option on nRF52840 DK, how do you connect the DK to the PC/RaspberryPi? Note that the DK has two USB connectors one for Segger J-Link (UART transport on nRF52840 MCU), or nRF USB (for which you are building the firmware).

Some more info: https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/ug_thread_tools.html#configuring-a-radio-co-processor

Hi @LuDuda,
I have build RCP image for DK on my ubuntu 21.04 laptop and then connect the same to my RPi. I have built using the instructions as explained in this page.
https://openthread.io/codelabs/openthread-hardware#3
Use segger j-link USB connector port while flashing the RCP image (with VDD enabled) and nRF USB connector (with USB mode) while running ot-daemon.

from ot-nrf528xx.

For nRF52840 i tried UART transport as explained in the link: https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/ug_thread_tools.html#configuring-a-radio-co-processor and every time i execute the command dataset commit active on ot-ctl, ot-daemon exits and everytime at this line otPlatRadioSetMacKey() at ../../src/posix/platform/radio.cpp:573

so for me for nRF52840DK board, both USB and UART transport is not working

from ot-nrf528xx.

@LuDuda : any pointers for me to check further upon? right now i am clueless

from ot-nrf528xx.

@nageshshamnur I will check your steps on a desk and let you know.

from ot-nrf528xx.

@nageshshamnur I was able to reproduce your issue only when i turned on MSD on the nRF52840 DK. Could you please connect the nRF52840 DK to your PC using only Segger J-Link USB and disable MSD (remember to power cycle the DK). MSD reduces the maximum size of the single USB transaction. Build the RCP image with UART_trans.

https://github.com/openthread/ot-nrf528xx/tree/main/src/nrf52840#mass-storage-device-known-issue

I used the same commands as you. Make sure that your settings didn't corrupt along the way by executing the following commands:

ot-nrf528xx/openthread$ sudo rm -rf tmp
ot-nrf528xx/openthread$ sudo ./build/posix/src/posix/ot-daemon -v 'spinel+hdlc+uart:///dev/ttyACM0?uart-baudrate=115200'

I'm not able to reproduce the issue using USB transport.

I'm not able to reproduce the issue using USB transport.

Hi @LuDuda,
I tried the exact steps what you mentioned in the above post and even i tried in 2 different machines. Everytime, ot-daemon exits with the log as below:

$ sudo ./build/posix/src/posix/ot-daemon -v     'spinel+hdlc+uart:///dev/ttyACM0?uart-baudrate=115200'

it happens when i execute the command dataset commit active on ot-ctl. Series of commands as below:

$sudo ot-ctl

I have tried it on both laptop running ubuntu 20.04 and then RPi running ubuntu 21.04. Same behavior seen on both. Kindly check.

Hello, @nageshshamnur any progress on your side?

I've just checked today (on two machines as well), and I can't reproduce this issue on both nRF52840 Dongle or DK (as I mentioned previously with MSD disabled). Let me paste my bash history, maybe we will find some differences. Please try to use the same revision of OT in both ot-daemon and RCP (however, your combination from the above logs seems to work fine as well). Note that openthread is a submodule in the ot-nrf528xx repository.

To clean-up repository:

$ cd ot-nrf528xx
$ sudo git clean -xdf
$ git fetch origin
$ git reset --hard ff68d16e32af5211d91591a0fe7806e904f34119

$ cd openthread
$ sudo git clean -xdf
$ git fetch origin
$ git reset --hard daf2ad7c245f947cadb2093af74ba9d121525473

$ cd ..

For nRF52840 Dongle:

$ rm -rf build
$ ./script/build nrf52840 USB_trans -DOT_BOOTLOADER=USB -DOT_THREAD_VERSION=1.2
$ arm-none-eabi-objcopy -O ihex build/bin/ot-rcp build/bin/ot-rcp.hex

# Flash the ot-rcp using nRF Connect for Desktop and nRF Programmer

For nRF52840 DK:

$ rm -rf build
$ script/build nrf52840 UART_trans -DOT_THREAD_VERSION=1.2
$ arm-none-eabi-objcopy -O ihex build/bin/ot-rcp build/bin/ot-rcp.hex
$ nrfjprog -f nrf52 --chiperase --program build/bin/ot-rcp.hex --reset

# Disable MSD - one-time operation per DK
$ JLinkExe -device NRF52840_XXAA -if SWD -speed 4000 -autoconnect 1
>MSDisable
>exit
# Power cycle the nRF52840 DK

Build ot-daemon and run it:

$ cd openthread
$ script/cmake-build posix -DOT_DAEMON=ON
$ sudo ./build/posix/src/posix/ot-daemon -v 'spinel+hdlc+uart:///dev/ttyACM0'

Some additional questions. Which version of nRF52840 Dongle and DK do you have?

If the problem still exists, could you connect the debugger or log what is the error message returned here: src/posix/platform/radio.cpp:573.

Also if you still see this error: src/core/mac/sub_mac.cpp:521: void ot::Mac::SubMac::HandleTransmitDone(ot::Mac::TxFrame&, ot::Mac::RxFrame*, ot::Error): Assertion 'false' failed, could you please log the error id that causes the assert?

Previously you also reported the Unexpected RCP reset: RESET_POWER_ON error, but you didn't do anything with the DK. Is it possible that your USB cable is broken?

Why don't I have this folder "nrfjprog"?

@tunm1228 , you need to install nRF Command Line Tools
