utFAT / GET_SDCARD_WP_STATE() no prototype

« on: November 14, 2014, 05:55:01 PM »

Hi Mark,
  I have loaded the latest uFAT, and during compiling I get no prototype for  GET_SDCARD_WP_STATE(), what should this be?  I am not using write protect, so do I just do a #define GET_SDCARD_WP_STATE() 0?

Regards

utFAT / Re: returning UTFAT_DISK_READ_ERROR during a write.

« on: July 22, 2014, 02:06:31 PM »

Hi Mark,
  As this happens only occasionally , is it possible that some cards (we buy them off the internet in batches) have a slower read/write times than others? Or do you find all about the same?

Hi Mark,
  Thanks for the reply.  I downloaded your latest version of ufat, but got some errors building my project. I haven't had time to see what they were, so I reverted back to the version before it.  Anyway, I noticed in your latest version that CommandTimeout = 20000. As the last version it was set to 5000, do you think me setting mines to 20000 is a too large value?

Best Regards
Neil

Hi Mark,
  Thanks for the quick reply.

I dont have  MAX_POLL_COUNT   in fnSendSD_command(), and I was sure I had the latest SD card files. The updated entry at the top of mass_storage.c file is: 


    11.09.2013 Reduce sector reads when seeking and correct partial sector read when data is in local {59} utFAT1.13

utFAT / returning UTFAT_DISK_READ_ERROR during a write.

« on: July 18, 2014, 02:04:32 PM »

Hi Mark,
  I have a few hundred units out in the field and working well, but occasionally I get a UTFAT_DISK_READ_ERROR (-4) error returned from a utWriteFile(..) command.  It doesn't always happen to the same units , but they all have the same firmware. I have one file for collecting data ,with 2 file handles (FileStruct) opened on it, one for writing and the other for reading .  I have set the read to UTFAT_MANAGED_MODE so its always updated on every write. I have looked through my code but cant see any problems, it can run for days, collecting data every minute before it happens.

Regards
Neil

µTasker general / Enabling/Disabling Serial port

« on: June 17, 2014, 03:16:30 PM »

Hi Mark,
   Throughout my application I wish to simply switch off/on the RX side of a serial port, but also keep all settings as before (baud rate,handshaking etc..).  Can I simply use the lines:
   fnDriver( SerialPortID,RX_ON, 0 );   
            and
   fnDriver( SerialPortID,RX_OFF, 0 );   

  Regards

utFAT / UTFAT_MANAGED_MODE

« on: June 12, 2014, 11:54:11 AM »

Hi Mark,
   I have 4 file handles opening the same file, 2 write and 2 read. Do I set the UTFAT_MANAGED_MODE on ALL file handles or just the read?

At present I set only the files open for read to UTFAT_OPEN_FOR_READ | UTFAT_MANAGED_MODE , but want to make sure all file handles will be updated.

Best Regards
Neil

µTasker general / Re: cleaning up a socket with no connection

« on: April 21, 2014, 05:29:16 PM »

Hi Mark
  When i only reuse sockets that the state is marked TCP_STATE_CLOSED, all works well. A set of sockets are used every ten seconds, and if the socket cant be reused straight away i simply get the next free one, and within the next ten seconds any ones that werent available are now marked TCP_STATE_CLOSED and are available. Do you see any problems using this method, i cant see me needing any more sockets that are available in the pool.

Hi Mark,
   I am still having the same issues (after copying over tcp.c). I placed some messages on the screen and debugged the code and this is what is happening.

The first time around TCP_STATE_CLOSED is called and I mark the socket as to be used again (within my own code).  When I try to re-use the socket the TCP_STATE_CLOSED is called again , as within the fnTCP_Connect() function :

    if (!(ptr_TCP->ucTCP_state & (TCP_STATE_RESERVED | TCP_STATE_LISTEN | TCP_STATE_CLOSED))) { // are we in an invalid state?
#ifdef REUSE_TIME_WAIT_SOCKETS
          if (ptr_TCP->ucTCP_state & (TCP_STATE_FIN_WAIT_2 | TCP_STATE_TIME_WAIT)) {
            fnNewTCPState(ptr_TCP, TCP_STATE_CLOSED);
         ptr_TCP->event_listener(ptr_TCP->MySocketNumber, TCP_EVENT_CLOSED, ptr_TCP->ucRemoteIP, ptr_TCP->usRemport); <<<  gets called again.
        }
        else {
            return (SOCKET_STATE_INVALID);
        }

As I mark each socket to be reused within the TCP_STATE_CLOSED, getting called again, simply marks as re-use. I checked the value of ptr_TCP when TCP_STATE_CLOSED was called and when the above was called to make sure the pointer address was the same, and they were.

I assume this is the reason why my code always works when calling fnGetTCP_state(..) before reusing the socket.

 Looking at usOurPort parameter within fnTCP_Connect(..) function, should this be set to 1 if reusing a socket ? I noticed withing the fnTCP_Connect(..) function ,fnGetFreeTCP_Port() gets called if usOurPort=0. I tried setting to 1 , but still no luck.

Hi Mark

Thanks for that, I look forward on getting the password.

I looked at the latest patch SP9 and it says its 1.30 on the zip file header, is this actually 1.40?

Hi Mark,
  I noticed the tcp.ip you attached earlier had changes in 2014, does the latest patch have these updates?  I tried downloading the patch, but cant find my password, can you check if it is still valid, if so please email it to my address?

Many Thanks

Hi Mark,
  I have an old tcp.c, the last update I have is 29/12/2009 {16}, which doesn't include re-using TCP_STATE_TIME_WAIT. I tried compiling your file , but got lots of errors (which I suspect because of old headers too).   Would it be possible to get a copy of the headers ?

Many Thanks

Hi Mark
  if i treat the _WAIT_STATE as _CLOSED my application doesnt make a connection, and wait state is returned. I make a few samples every ten seconds, and if i check the status first, and only use when marked closed, i never get an error, the socket is cleared by the next ten seconds. My windows application it connects to is on the same LAN.

Hi Mark,
 
After I get a  TCP_STATE_CLOSED , I reuse the socket again. I also use the fnGetTCP_state() and I sometimes get a TCP_STATE_TIME_WAIT. So even though the socket is closed its not always available? And it looks like I should always use the  fnGetTCP_state() when getting a socket from the pool?

Hi Mark,
  Thanks for the reply.

When the connection cant be established, and I call fnTCP_close() , it takes a while for the TCP_EVENT_CLOSED in callback to be called, is this normal?.

If I don't use fnReleaseTCP_Socket(), will the socket be safe to reuse when the TCP_EVENT_CLOSED is called? If not when is it safe to reuse it?

Best Regards
Neil
