After OTA new code works only until restart, once esp32 restart code revert to old one

Hi guys,

I am trying to customize a firmware to ESP32 but after OTA, new code works only until restart.

I am doing the following:

mos clone https://github.com/mongoose-os-apps/demo-c app4

mos build

mos flash

mos wifi WIFI_NETWORK WIFI_PASSWORD

  • now I create a device no mdash and copy the TOKEN

mos config-set dash.enable=true dash.token=TOKEN

Then I changed the file main.c including some code to light leds connected to ESP32 GPIOs

#include <stdio.h> 
#include <time.h>
int reles_PIN[]={27,33,32,21,19,18,17,16};

void delay(int milli_seconds) { 
    clock_t start_time = clock();     // Storing start time
    while (clock() < start_time + milli_seconds);  // looping till required time is not achieved
} 


  for (int i = 0; i < 8; ++i){
    mgos_gpio_toggle(reles_PIN[i]);     //toggle relays pin
    delay(300);                         //wait 300ms
  }


  for (int i = 0; i < 8; ++i){                
    mgos_gpio_setup_output(reles_PIN[i], 0);    // set relay ports as output
  }

Then I build the code using

mos build

And upload the firmware to ESP32 using mdash

After upload finish, the code runs as expected but after some time or if I do a reset the ESP32 returns to original code.

What I need to do to commit the new code into the ESP32 ?

I will appreciate any help.

Thank you and Regards

Run mos call OTA.Commit, or call OTA.Commit from the device’s OTA section in mDash.

Try mos call OTA.Commit
