cc3000_NTP_demo with shield on Arch Max, LPCExpresso4337 and Nucleo F411RE
Hi mbed-gurus and friends,
I have been trying an Adafruit cc3000 shield on those platforms: Arch Max / LPCExpresso4337 / Nucleo F411RE. Each platform obviously has access to the cc3000 chip. It can read the MAC address and Firmware version, connects to the WiFi, and it even gets an IP address via DHCP from the router, which I can ping from the laptop.
The program I use to test is the cc3000_ntp_demo, slightly modified to get GPIO correct for the shield. It uses the libraries: cc3000_hostdriver_mbedsocket, NTPClient, and NVIC_set_all_priorities.
Once it comes to accessing the internet, for example getting the time from an NTP-server, it hangs there, when calling ntp_client.setTime(domain_name, port_number). The problem seems to receive data with the socket. It comes in a loop, because the socket is not readable (DEBUG enabled): .
[CC3000 : HCI TX] Command Sent : 0x1008 [CC3000 : HCI RX] Event Received : 0x1008 - BSD Select [CC3000 : SOCKET] Select on sock_fd: 0, returns 0. fdSet: 0 [CC3000 : SOCKET] The socket is not readable. _sock_fd: 0
.
That happens with either of three used platforms, and both with connecting the Adafruit cc3000 module and shield. I thought it could have to do with my router, but running an NTP test via the Arch Max Ethernet port (hardwired) works just fine.
I tried several NTP servers and several Access Points, all with the same result.
The voltages measured on the cc3000 shield power pins look fine: 5.03V and 3.32V. I had an extra power supply connected to the 5V pin, otherwise it would read 4.59V. That didn't do the trick, though.
I'm sure I'm overlooking something. Any help is appreciated on how to troubleshoot this.
The output looks like: .

Jack, sorry for the delay! I have now had time to check the NTP demo. It appears that i get the same error as you. I have 2 cc3000, they both had old firmware 1.24 and 1.28, even the 1.24 firmware failed in the same place, 1.28 failed on gethostbyname and also the same socket error. I dont know at this point if the error is with TI's firmware or with the host driver, my gut feeling is the firmware is at fault. It appears that the error is the same as the original socket write error (Which is still faulting if used!) I will try looking further, if i get lucky, i will get back to you. Maybe Frank will see this and also take a look.
Hi David, thank you very much! Nice to know it could be reproduced. I found this program CC3300_FW_Update, which updated firmware to 1.32, but it did not solve the issue either.
posted by 14 Aug 2015Yes I know 1.32 gives the same error. I have done some more checks going back to a pre-release host driver, to try and find the bug. The pre-release works with 1.32 sp 1.14 so I think a bug has been introduced into the host driver, it appears to be something to do with read select, but it maybe elsewhere. I will look further. Please raise an issue for Martin to look at.

There was an issue and a work around used for the NTP demo, when it was first tested. I don't know if anybody has checked if the demo still works after the many cc3000 firmware updates that have taken place. I will check as soon as i can get some free time, unless someone else jumps in.
