ESP8266 Arduino. Problem with 128K virtual memory via external SPI SRAM - esp8266

I have got internet radio project based on ESP8266 and VS1053 board - https://github.com/h1aji/Esp-radio/blob/dev/src/main.cpp
(I enable SPIRAM when compile the project. // gets removed from line 45)
I am trying to add external SPI RAM 23LC1024 for buffering using this code:
#define SPIRAM
#if defined ( SPIRAM )
ESP.setExternalHeap(); // Set external memory to use
ringbuf = (uint8_t *) malloc ( RINGBFSIZ ) ; // Create ring buffer
dbgprint ( "External buffer: Address %p, free %d\n",
ringbuf, ESP.getFreeHeap() ) ;
ESP.resetHeap();
#else
ringbuf = (uint8_t *) malloc ( RINGBFSIZ ) ; // Create ring buffer
#endif
And I see nothing, buffer is empty. Log:

D: Switch to HEADER
D: No data input
D: Trying other station/file...

The test sketch from https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/blob/master/libraries/esp8266/examples/virtualmem/virtualmem.ino works just fine as well as SPI RAM test code in the beginning.
What am I missing?

String returns only numbers after separatedBy

I´m trying to separate a string like the following:
let path = "/Users/user/Downloads/history.csv"
do {
let contents = try NSString(contentsOfFile: path, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8.rawValue )
let rows = contents.components(separatedBy: "\n")
print("contents: \(contents)")
print("rows: \(rows)")
}
catch {
}
I have two files, which are looking almost identical.
From the first file the output is like this:
Output File1:
contents: 2017-07-31 16:29:53,0.10109999,9.74414271,0.98513273,0.15%,42302999779,-0.98513273,9.72952650

Output File2:

So both files are readable as String because the print(content) is working.
But as soon as the string gets separated, the second file is not readable anymore.
I tried different encodings, but nothing worked. Has anyone an idea, how to force the string to the second file, to remain a readable string?
Your file is apparently UTF-16 (little-endian) encoded:
$ hexdump fullorders4.csv
0000000 4f 00 72 00 64 00 65 00 72 00 55 00 75 00 69 00
0000010 64 00 2c 00 45 00 78 00 63 00 68 00 61 00 6e 00
0000020 67 00 65 00 2c 00 54 00 79 00 70 00 65 00 2c 00
0000030 51 00 75 00 61 00 6e 00 74 00 69 00 74 00 79 00
...
For ASCII characters, the first byte of the UTF-16 encoding is the
ASCII code, and the second byte is zero.
If the file is read as UTF-8 then the zeros are converted to an
ASCII NUL character, that is what you see as \0 in the output.
Therefore specifying the encoding as utf16LittleEndian works
in your case:
let contents = try NSString(contentsOfFile: path, encoding: String.Encoding.utf16LittleEndian.rawValue)
// or:
let contents = try String(contentsOfFile: path, encoding: .utf16LittleEndian)
There is also a method which tries to detect the used encoding
(compare iOS: What's the best way to detect a file's encoding). In Swift that would be
var enc: UInt = 0
let contents = try NSString(contentsOfFile: path, usedEncoding: &enc)
// or:
var enc = String.Encoding.ascii
let contents = try String(contentsOfFile: path, usedEncoding: &enc)
However, in your particular case, that would read the file as UTF-8
again because it is valid UTF-8. Prepending a byte order mark (BOM)
to the file (FF FE for UTF-16 little-endian) would solve that
problem reliably.

Write python code in delphi AES MODE ECB

I translated two functions in delphi but i don't know if they are right, I need to write the def do_aes_encrypt(key2_t_xor) to know if I am right.
This is what I wrote in delphi:
function key_transform (old_key:string): string;
var
x :integer;
begin
result:='';
for x := 32 downto 0 do
result:= result + chr(ord(old_key[x-1])-( x mod $0C)) ;
end;
function key_xoring ( key2_t :string ; kilo_challenge :string) : string ;
var
i :integer;
begin
result := '';
i:=0 ;
while i <= 28 do begin
result := result + chr(ord(key2_t[i+1]) xor ord(kilo_challenge[3]));
result := result + chr(ord(key2_t[i+2]) xor ord(kilo_challenge[2])) ;
result := result+ chr(ord(key2_t[i+3]) xor ord (kilo_challenge[1])) ;
i := i + 4 ;
end;
end;
This is the original python code:
def key_transform(old_key):
new_key = ''
for x in range(32,0,-1):
new_key += chr(ord(old_key[x-1]) - (x % 0x0C))
return new_key
def key_xoring(key2_t, kilo_challenge):
key2_t_xor = ''
i = 0
while i <= 28:
key2_t_xor += chr(ord(key2_t[i]) ^ ord(kilo_challenge[3]))
key2_t_xor += chr(ord(key2_t[i+1]) ^ ord(kilo_challenge[2]))
key2_t_xor += chr(ord(key2_t[i+2]) ^ ord(kilo_challenge[1]))
key2_t_xor += chr(ord(key2_t[i+3]) ^ ord(kilo_challenge[0]))
i = i + 4
return key2_t_xor
def do_aes_encrypt(key2_t_xor):
plaintext = b''
for k in range(0,16):
plaintext += chr(k)
obj = AES.new(key2_t_xor, AES.MODE_ECB)
return obj.encrypt(plaintext)
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
{
kilo_challenge = kilo_header[8:12]
chalstring = ":".join("{:02x}".format(ord(k)) for k in kilo_challenge)
key2 = 'qndiakxxuiemdklseqid~a~niq,zjuxl' # if this doesnt work try 'lgowvqnltpvtgogwswqn~n~mtjjjqxro'
kilo_response = do_aes_encrypt(key_xoring(key_transform(key2),kilo_challenge))}
this code is for calculate data line 16 byte to be send as an addition to 32 byte
before
look photo the marked line in blue is what i need to calculate by the 4 byte hex befor marked in porple
and this is the key
key2 = 'qndiakxxuiemdklseqid~a~niq,zjuxl'
in delphi
because python code is working perfect
look to the photo
how it work
this is for lg phones upgrading firmware when i receive the KILOCENT ANSOWER AS THE photo show`s

Constant TAO CORBA IOR

How to configure TAO corba server so that IOR string of this server generated from object_to_string is constant?
Each time the IOR string generated from object_to_string changes once server restarts. This is inconvenient since client has to update its cached server IOR string via reloading IOR file or namingservice accessing. As a result, it would be useful if server can generate a constant IOR string, no matter how many times it restarts.
My corba server is based on ACE+TAO and i do remember TAO supports constant IOR string: the IOR string each time it generates are same, and the solution is add some configurations for server. But i could not remember these configurations now.
=============================================
UPDATE:
In ACE_wrappers/TAO/tests/POA/Persistent_ID/server.cpp, i added a new function named testUniqe() which is similiar to creatPOA method. And the update file content is:
void testUniqu(CORBA::ORB_ptr orb_, PortableServer::POA_ptr poa_){
CORBA::PolicyList policies (2);
policies.length (2);
//IOR is the same even it is SYSTEM_ID
policies[0] = poa_->create_id_assignment_policy (PortableServer::USER_ID);
policies[1] = poa_->create_lifespan_policy (PortableServer::PERSISTENT);
PortableServer::POAManager_var poa_manager = poa_->the_POAManager ();
PortableServer::POA_ptr child_poa_ = poa_->create_POA ("childPOA", poa_manager.in (), policies);
// Destroy the policies
for (CORBA::ULong i = 0; i < policies.length (); ++i) {
policies[i]->destroy ();
}
test_i *servant = new test_i (orb_, child_poa_);
PortableServer::ObjectId_var oid = PortableServer::string_to_ObjectId("xushijie");
child_poa_->activate_object_with_id (oid, servant);
PortableServer::ObjectId_var id = poa_->activate_object (servant);
CORBA::Object_var object = poa_->id_to_reference (id.in ());
test_var test = test::_narrow (object.in ());
CORBA::String_var ior = orb_->object_to_string(test.in());
std::cout<<ior.in()<<std::endl;
poa_->the_POAManager()->activate();
orb_->run();
}
int
ACE_TMAIN (int argc, ACE_TCHAR *argv[])
{
try
{
CORBA::ORB_var orb =
CORBA::ORB_init (argc, argv);
int result = parse_args (argc, argv);
CORBA::Object_var obj =
orb->resolve_initial_references ("RootPOA");
PortableServer::POA_var root_poa =
PortableServer::POA::_narrow (obj.in ());
PortableServer::POAManager_var poa_manager =
root_poa->the_POAManager ();
testUniqu(orb.in(), root_poa.in());
orb->destroy ();
}
catch (const CORBA::Exception& ex)
{
ex._tao_print_exception ("Exception caught");
return -1;
}
return 0;
}
The problem is that the output server IORs are still different once restart. I also compared this code to the one in Page 412(Advance Corba Programming), but still fail..
///////////////////////////////////
UPDATE:
With "server -ORBListenEndpoints iiop://:1234 > /tmp/ior1", the generated two IORs are:
IOR:010000000d00000049444c3a746573743a312e300000000001000000000000007400000001010200150000007368696a69652d5468696e6b5061642d543431300000d2041b00000014010f0052535453f60054c6f80c000000000001000000010000000002000000000000000800000001000000004f41540100000018000000010000000100010001000000010001050901010000000000

============================================
update:
Instead of using above code, i find a better solution with helper TAO_ORB_Manager which is used NamingService and TAO/examples/Simple. TAO_ORB_Manager encapsulates API and generate persistent IORs, as example code in Simple.cpp:
if (this->orb_manager_.init_child_poa (argc, argv, "child_poa") == -1){
CORBA::String_var str =
this->orb_manager_.activate_under_child_poa (servant_name,
this->servant_.in ());
}
This is some description for TAO_ORB_Manager:
class TAO_UTILS_Export TAO_ORB_Manager
{
/**
* Creates a child poa under the root poa with PERSISTENT and
* USER_ID policies. Call this if you want a #a child_poa with the
* above policies, otherwise call init.
*
* #retval -1 Failure
* #retval 0 Success
*/
int init_child_poa (int &argc,
ACE_TCHAR *argv[],
const char *poa_name,
const char *orb_name = 0);
/**
* Precondition: init_child_poa has been called. Activate <servant>
* using the POA <activate_object_with_id> created from the string
* <object_name>. Users should call this to activate objects under
* the child_poa.
*
* #param object_name String name which will be used to create
* an Object ID for the servant.
* #param servant The servant to activate under the child POA.
*
* #return 0 on failure, a string representation of the object ID if
* successful. Caller of this method is responsible for
* memory deallocation of the string.
*/
char *activate_under_child_poa (const char *object_name,
PortableServer::Servant servant);
...................
}
After build, I can get what i want with -ORBListenEndpoints iiop://localhost:2809 option. Thanks #Johnny Willemsen help
You have to create the POA with a persistent lifespan policy, see ACE_wrappers/TAO/tests/POA/Persistent_ID as part of the TAO distribution.

Why does if Assigned(ListViewLayers1.Items) then Produce an Exception

{ Clear ListViewLayers }
try
if Assigned(ListViewLayers1.Items) then
ListViewLayers1.Clear;
except
on E: Exception do
begin
ShowMessage(E.ClassName + #10#13 + E.Message);
end;
end;
How can you determine if the listview is empty before trying to call Clear?
The Exception is EAccessViolation. But I do not understand why when the ListViewLayers1 was created at design time and can be accessed at other times throughout the life of the app.

Assuming the error is an access violation relating to the code that we can see, the only pointer dereferences in the if statement are when you dereference Self, and when you subsequently dereference ListViewLayers1. So, the conclusion is that either you called the method on an invalid object instance, or that ListViewLayers1 is an invalid object instance.
If the exception is not such an access violation, then it is an exception raised by the getter for the Items property.
Without any more code, or the actual exception details, it is difficult to say any more.
When you close a devexpress dockpanel, the default behaviour is that it gets destroyed. That will destroy your listview too, so if you try to access it after that, you'll get an exception.
So, make sure to check if listviewlayers1 is assigned before you try to do anything with its items. I don't even think you'll have to check if its items property is assigned, unless you're doing some weird hacks to your listview.

simple midi file writer in Objective C

I'm writing a program in Objective C to generate a MIDI file. As a test, I'm asking it to write a file which plays one note and stops it a delta tick afterwards.
But I'm trying to open it with Logic and Sibelius, and they both say that the file is corrupted.
Here's the hex readout of the file..
4D 54 68 64 00 00 00 06 00 01 00 01 00 40 - MThd header
4D 54 72 6B 00 00 00 0D - MTrk - with length of 13 as 32bit hex [00 00 00 0D]
81 00 90 48 64 82 00 80 48 64 - the track
delta noteOn delta noteOff
FF 2F 00 - end of file
And here's my routines to write the delta time, and write the note -
- (void) appendNote:(int)note state:(BOOL)on isMelody:(BOOL)melodyNote{ // generate a MIDI note and add it to the 'track' NSData object
char c[3];
if( on ){
c[0] = 0x90;
c[2] = volume;
} else {
c[0] = 0x80;
c[2] = lastVolume;
}
c[1] = note;
[track appendBytes:&c length:3];
}
- (void) writeVarTime:(int)value{ // generate a MIDI delta time and add it to the 'track' NSData object
char c[2];
if( value < 128 ){
c[0] = value;
[track appendBytes:&c length:1];
} else {
c[0] = value/128 | 0x80;
c[1] = value % 128;
[track appendBytes:&c length:2];
}
}
are there any clever MIDI gurus out there who can tell what's wrong with this MIDI file?
The delta time of the EOF event is missing.
