The frontend is served directly from the ESP32's `www_0` or `www_1` LittleFS partition, allowing the user interface to be updated completely independently from the underlying firmware. + +## 1. Prerequisites + +Before you can build the frontend, make sure you have [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) installed on your machine. All frontend code is located inside the `frontend/` directory. + +```bash +cd frontend +npm install +``` + +## 2. Development Mode + +During development, you don't need to rebuild and reflash the ESP32 every time you change a button color! You can run the Vite development server on your PC, and it will proxy API requests to the ESP32 over WiFi. + +1. Ensure the ESP32 is powered on and connected to your local network. +2. Update `frontend/.env.development` with the IP address of your ESP32 (e.g., `VITE_API_BASE=http://192.168.50.216`). +3. Start the dev server: + +```bash +npm run dev +``` + +## 3. Building for Production (ESP32) + +When you are ready to deploy your frontend changes to the ESP32, you must package everything into a single file and compress it. Our custom build script handles this for you. + +Run the following command inside the `frontend/` folder: + +```bash +npm run build:esp32 +``` + +**What this does:** +1. Runs Vite's production build. +2. Inlines all CSS and JS into `index.html` (thanks to `vite-plugin-singlefile`). +3. Runs `scripts/gzip.js` to heavily compress `index.html` down to an `index.html.gz` file (~15-20KB). +4. Outputs the final files to the `frontend/dist/` directory. + +## 4. Flashing the Filesystem + +Now that `frontend/dist/` contains your compressed web app, you must tell the ESP-IDF build system to turn that folder into a LittleFS binary image and flash it. + +In your standard ESP-IDF terminal (from the project root, not the `frontend/` folder): + +1. **Enable Web Deployment via Menuconfig (if not already done):** + ```bash + idf.py menuconfig + # Navigate to: Calendink Configuration -> Deploy Web Pages + # Make sure it is checked (Y) + ``` + +2. **Build and Flash:** + ```bash + idf.py build + idf.py flash + ``` + +Because `CONFIG_CALENDINK_DEPLOY_WEB_PAGES` is enabled, CMake will automatically: +1. Detect your `frontend/dist/` folder. +2. Run `mklittlefs` to package it into `www.bin`. +3. Flash `www.bin` directly to the active `www_0` partition on the ESP32! + +## 5. Over-The-Air (OTA) Updates + +Once the backend supports it (Phase 2+), you can update the frontend without using USB or `idf.py`. + +1. **Build the assets**: `npm run build:esp32` +2. **Package the image**: `npm run ota:package` + - This generates a versioned binary in `frontend/bin/` (e.g., `www_v1.0.5.bin`). + - **Configuration**: If the tool is not in your PATH, add its path to `frontend/.env`: + ```env + MKLITTLEFS_PATH=C:\path\to\mklittlefs.exe + ``` + *(Note: The script also supports `littlefs-python.exe` usually found in the `build/littlefs_py_venv/Scripts/` folder).* +3. **Upload via Dashboard**: + - Open the dashboard in your browser. + - Go to the **Frontend Update** section. + - Select the `www.bin` file and click **Flash**. + - The device will automatically write to the inactive partition and reboot. diff --git a/Provider/frontend/.env b/Provider/frontend/.env new file mode 100644 index 0000000..808554a --- /dev/null +++ b/Provider/frontend/.env @@ -0,0 +1,2 @@ +VITE_API_BASE=http://192.168.50.216 +MKLITTLEFS_PATH=W:\Classified\Calendink\Provider\build\littlefs_py_venv\Scripts\littlefs-python.exe diff --git a/Provider/frontend/package.json b/Provider/frontend/package.json index b729be1..c4265e3 100644 --- a/Provider/frontend/package.json +++ b/Provider/frontend/package.json @@ -7,6 +7,7 @@ "dev": "vite", "build": "vite build", "build:esp32": "vite build && node scripts/gzip.js", + "ota:package": "node scripts/package.js", "preview": "vite preview" }, "devDependencies": { diff --git a/Provider/frontend/scripts/package.js b/Provider/frontend/scripts/package.js new file mode 100644 index 0000000..48ed395 --- /dev/null +++ b/Provider/frontend/scripts/package.js @@ -0,0 +1,146 @@ +/** + * OTA Packaging Script + * Generates www.bin from dist/ using mklittlefs or littlefs-python. + */ + +import { execSync } from 'child_process'; +import { resolve, dirname } from 'path'; +import { fileURLToPath } from 'url'; +import { existsSync, readFileSync, mkdirSync, writeFileSync } from 'fs'; + +const __dirname = dirname(fileURLToPath(import.meta.url)); +const projectRoot = resolve(__dirname, '..'); +const distDir = resolve(projectRoot, 'dist'); +const binDir = resolve(projectRoot, 'bin'); +const versionFile = resolve(projectRoot, 'version.json'); + +// Ensure bin directory exists +if (!existsSync(binDir)) { + mkdirSync(binDir, { recursive: true }); +} + +// Configuration matching partitions.csv (1MB = 1048576 bytes) +const FS_SIZE = 1048576; +const BLOCK_SIZE = 4096; +const PAGE_SIZE = 256; + +console.log('--- OTA Packaging ---'); + +/** + * Handle versioning: Read current version + */ +function getVersion() { + if (existsSync(versionFile)) { + try { + return JSON.parse(readFileSync(versionFile, 'utf8')); + } catch (e) { + console.warn('Warning: Could not read version.json:', e.message); + } + } + return { major: 0, minor: 0, revision: 0 }; +} + +/** + * Increment and save revision + */ +function incrementVersion(version) { + try { + version.revision = (version.revision || 0) + 1; + writeFileSync(versionFile, JSON.stringify(version, null, 2)); + console.log(`Version incremented to: ${version.major}.${version.minor}.${version.revision} for next build.`); + } catch (e) { + console.warn('Warning: Could not update version.json:', e.message); + } +} + +/** + * Simple .env parser to load MKLITTLEFS_PATH without external dependencies + */ +function loadEnv() { + const envPaths = [ + resolve(projectRoot, '.env.local'), + resolve(projectRoot, '.env') + ]; + + for (const path of envPaths) { + if (existsSync(path)) { + console.log(`Loading config from: ${path}`); + const content = readFileSync(path, 'utf8'); + content.split('\n').forEach(line => { + const [key, ...valueParts] = line.split('='); + if (key && valueParts.length > 0) { + const value = valueParts.join('=').trim().replace(/^["']|["']$/g, ''); + process.env[key.trim()] = value; + } + }); + } + } +} + +loadEnv(); +const version = getVersion(); +const versionStr = `${version.major}.${version.minor}.${version.revision}`; +const outputFile = resolve(binDir, `www_v${versionStr}.bin`); + +if (!existsSync(distDir)) { + console.error('Error: dist/ directory not found.

This image is streamed directly to the inactive flash partition (`www_0` or `www_1`), ensuring that the current UI remains fully functional until the update is confirmed and the device reboots. -## 3. Why Dual-Partition Image Flash? +## 3. Design Decisions & Trade-offs -### Image Flash vs. Individual File Uploads -| | Image Flash (LittleFS .bin) | Individual File Uploads | -|---|---|---| -| **Integrity** | High (Flash whole partition, verify, switch) | Low (A failure mid-upload leaves a broken site) | -| **Simplicity (Backend)** | Easy: Stream bytes to raw flash partition | Hard: Manage file creation, deletion, truncation | -| **Speed** | Faster (One contiguous flash write) | Slower (Multiple HTTP requests, VFS overhead) | +### 3.1. Why Dual-Partition (A/B)? +- **Safety**: A failed or interrupted upload never "bricks" the UI. The ESP32 simply remains on the current working slot. +- **Flash Allocation**: With 16MB of total flash, allocating 2MB for UI (1MB per slot) is highly efficient given it provides zero-downtime potential. -### Dual-Partition (A/B) vs. Single Partition -| | Dual-Partition (A/B) | Single Partition | -|---|---|---| -| **Rollback** | ✅ Yes: Revert to previous slot if new one fails | ❌ No: Broken update bricks the UI | -| **Flash Usage** | Higher (Requires 2x space) | Lower | +### 3.2. Explicit Reboot vs. Hot-Swap +We chose an **explicit reboot** to switch slots. +- **Pros**: Guarantees a clean state, flushes NVS, and restarts all network/VFS handles. +- **Cons**: Brief ~3s downtime. +- **Verdict**: The safety of a clean boot outweighs the complexity of live-mounting partitions at runtime. -**Decision**: Because we have a 16MB flash chip, allocating two 1MB partitions for the frontend (`www_0` and `www_1`) is trivial and provides crucial safety guarantees. +### 3.3. Semantic Versioning & Auto-Increment +We implemented a `major.minor.revision` versioning system stored in `version.json`. +- **Decision**: The `ota:package` script automatically increments the `revision` number on every build. +- **Value**: This ensures that every OTA binary is unique and identifiable (e.g., `www_v0.1.6.bin`), preventing confusion during manual testing. -## 4. Architecture & Workflow +## 4. Final Architecture ### 4.1. The Partition Table -The `partitions.csv` will be modified to include two 1MB data partitions for LittleFS: -- `www_0` -- `www_1` +```csv +# Name, Type, SubType, Offset, Size +nvs, data, nvs, , 0x6000 +otadata, data, ota, , 0x2000 +www_0, data, littlefs, , 1M +www_1, data, littlefs, , 1M +``` ### 4.2. State Management (NVS) -The active partition index (0 or 1) will be stored in Non-Volatile Storage (NVS). -- On factory flash via serial, `www_0` is populated. -- During boot (`app_main`), the ESP32 reads the NVS key. If the key is empty, it defaults to `0` and mounts `www_0` to the `/www` VFS path. +The active partition label (`www_0` or `www_1`) is stored in NVS under the `ota` namespace with the key `active_slot`. +- On boot, `main.cpp` checks this key. If missing, it defaults to `www_0`. +- The `api_ota_frontend_handler` updates this key only after a 100% successful flash. -### 4.3. The Update Process (Backend) -1. **Identify Slot**: The ESP32 determines which slot is currently *inactive*. -2. **Stream Upload**: The new LittleFS image (.bin) is `POST`ed to `/api/ota/frontend`. -3. **Write to Flash**: The HTTP handler streams the payload directly to the raw, unmounted inactive partition using `esp_partition_erase_range` and `esp_partition_write`, bypassing LittleFS entirely to save RAM and CPU. -4. **Switch**: Once the upload completes successfully, the NVS pointer is updated to point to the newly flashed partition. -5. **Reboot**: The ESP32 reboots. The bootloader reads the new NVS value, mounts the updated partition, and the new frontend is served. +### 4.3. Resilient Auto-Reload (The "Handshake") +To solve the "post-reboot-disconnect" problem, we implemented a two-part recovery logic: +1. **Targeted Polling**: The frontend registers an `onReboot` callback. When the OTA succeeds, the `App` enters a `rebooting` state. +2. **Resilience**: A dedicated `$effect` in Svelte uses a "stubborn" polling loop. It ignores all connection errors (common while the ESP32 is resetting/reconnecting WiFi) and only refreshes the page once a 200 OK is received from `/api/system/info`. -*Design Note: We chose an explicit reboot over a hot-swap (unmounting and remounting at runtime) because a reboot is very fast (~2-3 seconds) and guarantees a clean state, closing any open file handles.* +## 5.
