Gateway with dwm-daemon on Raspberry pi

fturcotte · April 7, 2019, 5:43pm

Hello, I try to set up the gateway (listener bridge) for the PANS on my Raspberry pi. It is not working. It looks like there is no communication between the DWM1001 and the Raspberry pi. The web server and the MQTT server are working but no data come from the PANS network. I have this message from the dwm-daemon.log

Fri Apr 5 16:38:33 EDT 2019
Starting daemon dwm-daemon with command ‘/usr/local/bin/dwm-daemon’ and options ‘-c /etc/dwm1001/dwm1001.config -l /var/log/dwm-daemon.log’…

My questions are:
What is the meaning of this message?
What is the communication port that used the Raspberry pi to communicate with the dwm-1001?
Could you share with me the code of the dwm-daemon? It will be nice to understand well how the gateway work.

Thanks

+1 for me. I’m seeing the same issue and log entries.

Hello, I have a same issue as well. Cannot figure out why it did not work.

leapslabs · April 12, 2019, 8:35am

Hi All,

can you please provide more details about the issue?

Which Raspberry hardware revision are you using? If possible please send a picture of the Raspberry with the DWM1001.
Is the DWM1001 reflashed with the R2 binary?
Which Raspberry Image are you using? The official one from the Release 2?
How do you start the DWM Daemon? Manually or just restarted the Raspberry?
Can you get the system working or it keeps failing like this?
Can you enter the module shell using: minicom -D /dev/serial0 (and double enter)?
Please send outputs of the commands on the failing system:
1. lsmod
2. ls -la /dev/dwm0
3. ps ax | grep dwm

Thanks!
Cheers, TDK

Hi TDK,

Thank you for your response. Here are the answers to your questions.

Thanks,

Ben.

Which Raspberry hardware revision are you using? If possible please send a picture of the Raspberry with the DWM1001.
Raspberry Pi 3 Model B V1.2

Is the DWM1001 reflashed with the R2 binary?
yes, as you can see from the “si” command
[000542.280 INF] sys: fw2 fw_ver=x01030001 cfg_ver=x00010700
[000542.280 INF] uwb0: panid=xA4BD addr=xDECA55C8F000419F

[000542.290 INF] enc: off
[000542.300 INF] ble: addr=CC:89:A0:B9:90:A8

Which Raspberry Image are you using? The official one from the Release 2?
Yes, DRTLS_raspbian_R2.0.img

How do you start the DWM Daemon? Manually or just restarted the Raspberry?
The daemon seems to start automatically when the Pi boots. However, it then stops after a few seconds with the error below.
Issuing a “sudo service dwm1001 restart” restarts the daemon but it stops again with the same error in the log.

From dwm-daemon.log:

Can you get the system working or it keeps failing like this?
It has always failed like this since I set it up. Gateway shows in web application but no tags or anchors.

Can you enter the module shell using: minicom -D /dev/serial0 (and double enter)?
Yes, see some outputs here:

Hi Ben,

thanks for your detailed feedback!

Can you please send outputs of these commands:

ls -la /lib/modules/4.14.50-v7+/dwm.ko
modinfo /lib/modules/4.14.50-v7+/dwm.ko
cat /proc/iomem
find /proc/device-tree/ -name “*spi*”
uname -a
cat /proc/cpuinfo
insmod /lib/modules/4.14.50-v7+/dwm.ko
dmesg

Thanks!
Cheers, TDK

leapslabs · April 12, 2019, 11:18am

Hi Ben,

on the picture some pins do not look like to be well soldered. Can you please check also that all the pins are well soldered?

Cheers,
TDK

b.philpot · April 12, 2019, 12:11pm

Ha, clearly soldering is not my strength! While I attend to that, take a look at the following outputs.

output.txt (33.4 KB)

Thanks,

Ben.

leapslabs · April 12, 2019, 12:37pm

Hi Ben,

thanks for the output file!

In the outputs I can see, that your Raspberry is running Kernel: 4.14.98-v7+
while the dwm.ko module is compiled for Kernel: 4.14.50-v7+
That’s the reason why the Kernel Module dwm.ko could not load. It provides communication between the DWM1001 and the DWM Daemon.

Can you please check that the Raspberry Image you have used is reflashed in whole to the SD card?
What is the size of your SD card?

Thanks!
Cheers, TDK

b.philpot · April 12, 2019, 1:03pm

Hi

Re-flashing the Pi has fixed it. Thank goodness no more soldering for now!

Many thanks,

Ben.

leapslabs · April 12, 2019, 1:07pm

Hi Ben,

Ok, great! What we suspect might happened is that your system has been updated either automatically by Raspberry or you have triggered that. The dwm.ko module must run on the kernel version 4.14.50-v7+ so Raspberry can update anything but not the Kernel.

Can you please verify if anything like that might happened? If so, please disable the kernel update on your Raspberry or if that is not possible then disable completely the system update.

Thanks!
Cheers, TDK

b.philpot · April 12, 2019, 1:13pm

Yes, an enthusiastic staffer “made sure everything was up to date”. Not unreasonable in many situations, but clearly not this one.

Many thanks for the support.

Ben.

JulesPharox · April 12, 2019, 1:21pm

Just hopping in here, is there a reason the GPIO header needs to have long pins? Wouldn’t something like this work too? https://www.antratek.nl/raspberry-pi-gpio-tall-header-2x20?___SID=U

leapslabs · April 12, 2019, 2:50pm

Hi,

sure, that connector should be Ok.

Cheers,
TDK

Ahmed_Omrane · April 16, 2019, 8:27am

Hi guys,
i have many problems like u had , the web manager did not see any device…
then i flashed again the raspian image do to that kernel issue, and now the web manager sees the node unit but can’t see any tags or anchors…
also when i access minicom :

minicom -b 115200 -o -D /dev/ttyS0
or minicom -b 115200 -o -D /dev/serial0
and tap enter tiwce i could not acceess dwm app, there is no response in minicom.
Any help ?

leapslabs · April 16, 2019, 1:19pm

Hi Ahmed,

it is strange that you do not see any output on the minicom. That means either the Firmware is not on the module or something is wrong with the communication with the board - please check the wiring/soldering and reflash the module to ensure it contains correct firmware.

Can you please go through the following steps and send me the outputs/feedback?

Which Raspberry hardware revision are you using? If possible please send a picture of the Raspberry with the DWM1001.
Is the DWM1001 reflashed with the R2 binary?
Which Raspberry Image are you using? The official one from the Release 2?
Please send outputs of the commands on the failing system:
lsmod
ls -la /dev/dwm0
ps ax | grep dwm
uname -a
dmesg
tail -n50 -f /var/log/dwm-daemon.log
Check that /etc/dwm1001/dwm1001.config contains the same PANID as your other running Anchors.
A screenshot of what you see on the Web Manager.

TDK

Hi Ahmed,

On the last picture there is some progress I think as both the Daemon and the proxy are reported on the webmanager.

Do you have an anchor configured as initiator in your network ?

Thanks
Yves

Ahmed_Omrane · April 16, 2019, 3:46pm

i did further research on my own and configurations , now the web manager works but accuracy not that much good.
but the minicom serial connection is still non functional.

Hi Ahmed,

where was the issue? What have you done to get it working? Please share the details so we can know how to help further.

Thanks!
