AXP issue

[Koekebeest]

Hello,

I'm trying to flash the SD updater on my m5core2 but I keep running into various issues. The errors has no member named 'Axp' suggest that the library you are using (ChimeraCore::ECCKernel) does not have a member named 'Axp and a lot of conflicting libraries for various .h files. What am I doing wrong here? Hope someone can guide me in the right direction. Would love to be able to have multiple apps on the device.

hi, thanks for your feedback.

Please provide more information such as platform name, OS, core version, library versions, and a minimal code snippet to reproduce the error.

Hi there. First of all I'm amazed at the work you do. I'm a total noob so let me try and answer you with my limited knowledge.
Platform name: Arduino Cloud on M5core2

To give some additional information on the error. This is a little part of the error that I'm getting using cloud.arduino.cc but it has numerous more. I must be doing something wrong... >.<

Since <ESP32-Chimera-Core.h> is a drop-in replacement for <M5Core2.h> library, those libraries shouldn't be used together, however in your logs I can read this:

#include <M5Core2.h>

If you didn't explicitely include M5Core2 library, maybe remove it from your libraries folder to see if it improves?

I've removed the inclusion but still the same. I can flash the m5core2 -sdloader-snippet but it only loads the "loading menu" but does nothing else. I feel I might just be doing something wrong here. Do I need to select a different board perhaps? I mean I saw your video with the m5core2 also so it should be possible hehe.

[tobozo]

yup the snippet is just supposed to show the lobby, nothing more

I'm not sure why you still get the errors with the SD-Menu, but there's a precompiled binary built by github CI if you want to try.

From a beginner's point of view it may be easier to learn how to manually flash a binary than troubleshooting an issue that is probably related to the learning path.

[Koekebeest]

Will check that out today.

Edit: Checked it out and tried to use a flash downloader tool from espressif (I believe) but it wont load anything. The device just makes a ticking sound and never boots. On the arduino it's still the same with this:

Which does not lead anywhere for me so I asked ChatGPT:

These errors suggest that there is no member named 'Axp' in the class ChimeraCore::ECCKernel, which is aliased as M5Stack. It appears that the code is trying to access the Axp member of the M5Stack class, but it doesn't exist.

To resolve this issue, you should check the documentation or the source code of the library you are using (M5Stack-SD-Menu) to ensure that you are using the correct syntax and accessing the correct members. It's possible that the library has been updated or modified, leading to changes in the available members and functions.

I'm doing some more research on how to fix it. Hope I get it eventually.

Thanks for your help so far :)

[Koekebeest]

Can I ask which versions you use of the provided libs on your m5core2?

[tobozo]

ChatGPT only highlights the obvious, I wouldn't trust it for proper troubleshooting yet anyway, it's still dreaming a big part of the answer and is more creative than intuitive.

your feedback made me realize there are a few anomalies in ESP32-Chimera-Core, you should see some improvements when selecting ESP32-Chimera-Core 1.4.6 instead of the latest.

if you get new errors incriminating M5StackUpdater, apply the same logic: decrement to the previous version of the library until it compiles.

Sorry about leaving my libraries in such a pitiful state, I just got overwhelmed by the release of M5CoreS3 and neglected the unit tests in the lates releases, I'll fix that soon 🙇

Yes you are right on that. It just copy pastes things from internet. Also incorrect things. Thanks for answering and providing helpful information! Really appreciate it. I will try these things out and hopefully I'll get it to work :) No worries mate. I'm just a noob trying to learn :)

[Koekebeest]

SOrry to bother you again >.< for my clarification with "if you get new errors incriminating M5StackUpdater, apply the same logic: decrement to the previous version of the library until it compiles." you meant the M5stack-sd-updater lib? Because I think I tried like 5 older libs from each but not getting anywhere. Collect2 errors. Although the older version of chimera seemed to help me get out of the previous errors these don't seem to go away also with going to previous versions of chimera and/or m5stack-sd-updater. Do I also need to use older versions of lovyan perhaps?

[tobozo]

you meant the M5stack-sd-updater lib

yes, if can't checkout the latest 1.5.0 version manually, select an earlier version from the library manager

LovyanGFX isn't the issue here, the issue is in the shallow description of the problem and the randomness of your attempts at fixing it.

I'm not saying it's an invalid approach, but it's like brute force and it will statistically end up more often in failure than success. The good thing is that it builds a lot of experience, the lesser good thing is that it takes a lot of time to figure out stuff that can't be guessed and/or explained by peers.

I have managed to compile WiFi Hash Monster in Arduino IDE 1.8.19 using the following stack:

It's using espresssif core 2.0.5, both ESP32-Chimera-Core and M5Stack-SD-Updater libraries are from the latest branch on their respective respositories using git. If you want to reproduce the exact environment you'll need to use git too, or switch to vscode/platformio.

The original plaformio.ini file from the WiFiHashMonser repo has valid (although a bit old) combination of espressif core and library versions, it's using espressif core 2.0.0:

here's another one I've tested recently, it's using espressif core 2.0.5:

[Koekebeest]

Cool thanks I will certainly try these out soon. Again appreciate your time and help. Cheers
