Hi.
What are the options for configuring OpenBeken?
I know you can use BK7231GUIFlashTool or use OpenBeken webui. But is it possible to do this using UART like in Tasmota? Is this even a thing here?
Why am I asking? Because for me it is much better:
- no need for a Windows PC for configuring
- or need to get Wi-Fi settings exactly right so OpenBeken device is able to connect to my Wi-Fi
- easy troubleshooting
On Tasmota I was able to flash another device and connect to its terminal, then through some trial and error configure Wi-Fi, relays, buttons. Also nice feature - same commands work both in UART and webui terminal, very handy.
So this device I’m trying to configure (smart IR remote, QFN20 package with T1-AHL markings, probably BK7238)
somehow tries to boot just from the power it gets through RX TX pins:
and goes completely silent after I supply enough power through USB connector.
Changing UART speed does not help. Device itself boots and works fine, I can access webui and change settings. It’s just that I want UART terminal.
What exact OpenBeken version/build did you flash on it, and did you enable any serial/console logging options in that build?
Not sure. Latest available for BK7238 a week ago in BK7231GUIFlashTool.
Yes, I’ve tried to enable UART flag (flag 31?). Not sure, I don’t have access to Windows PC I’ve used to flash OpenBeken.
Which exact pins are you using for RX/TX/GND, and are those confirmed to be the BK7238 UART console pins from the board/chip pinout or just the pads you found on the device?
Soldered wires to RX, TX, GND pads on PCB (which are marked). Also traced those pads to pins 15 and 16 on chip, which are UART_1_RX and UART_1_TX according to this datasheet https://www.elektroda.com/rtvforum/topic4132679.html#21623869
