Tesla not seeing USB drive

Question

Tesla not seeing USB drive

natrlhy opened this issue 5 years ago · 51 comments

Thanks for this code. Hoping to get it fully working. Here are the steps I've taken to go through the install. I've done everything thus far as root:

`Insert your SDHC card into your PC. Launch Etcher. Point it to the location of the Raspbian .zip file and flash the card. When that is completed, I ejected the card and reinserted it.
Connect the Micro USB to USB cable to the USB labeled port on the Pi Zero W

Use an SSH client to SSH to the Pi Zero W

hostname: rasbperrypi.local
username: pi
password: raspberry

Do everything as root:

sudo su -
cd /boot
vi wpa_supplicant.conf

Paste this for the WiFi Setup:

country=us
update_config=1
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

network={
scan_ssid=1
ssid="yourwifi"
psk="yourpassword"
}

reboot

SSH back into the Pi to install DaemonTools:

mkdir -p /package
chmod 1755 /package
cd /package

wget http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/daemontools-0.76.tar.gz
tar -xpf daemontools-0.76.tar.gz
rm -f daemontools-0.76.tar.gz
cd admin/daemontools-0.76

ed ./src/conf-cc
1s/$/ -include errno.h/
wq
package/install

apt-get install csh
csh -cf '/command/svscanboot &'
sed -i "1 a\csh -cf '/command/svscanboot &'" /etc/rc.local
chmod +x /etc/rc.local

Install Node.js:
mkdir -p /opt/node; cd /opt/node
wget https://nodejs.org/dist/v10.16.0/node-v10.16.0-linux-armv6l.tar.xz
tar -xvf node-v10.16.0-linux-armv6l.tar.xz
chown -R root:root node-v10.16.0-linux-armv6l
ln -s /opt/node/node-v10.16.0-linux-armv6l/bin/* /usr/bin/

apt-get install git
git config --global user.name "Me"
git config --global user.email myemail@user.com
cd /home/pi
git clone https://github.com/milesburton/teslacam
mkdir -p /etc/service;cd /etc/service;ln -s /home/pi/teslacam/services/* .
cd /home/pi/teslacam;npm install
cd /home/pi/teslacam/src/remote;npm install`

When I plug it into the USB port on the PI and the front USB on the Tesla M3, I never see the icon on the touchscreen that signifies the USB drive is seen.

I haven't done any DropBox integration yet as ultimately I want to upload to my Synology NAS

Answer 1 · 2019-07-18T07:16:59.000Z

Does the drive mount when you plug it in to your PC? That's the first ACID test to make sure it appears

Answer 2 · 2019-07-18T13:41:19.000Z

When I first flashed it I saw /boot. Now I don't see that in Explorer.

SSH:

pi@teslacam:~ $ df -h

Answer 3 · 2019-07-18T14:01:12.000Z

Take a look at the logs tail -f /home/pi/teslacam/services/dashcam-monitor/log/main/current. See if it's doing anything strange. It's probably a permission issue, or maybe corrupt disk images.

Answer 9 · 2019-07-18T14:49:08.000Z

Looks like it's not installed correctly. Can you run an "ls -lart" within the teslacam folder and again in the services folder? You may need to clone the repo again

Answer 12 · 2019-07-18T14:54:12.000Z

Ok, and it's not an issue that it's all running as root?
Should I reflash?

My steps for cloning the repo is valid?

cd /home/pi
git clone https://github.com/milesburton/teslacam

Answer 13 · 2019-07-18T14:59:26.000Z

During installation you need to install daemon tools etc - this requires root. The teslacam code itself doesn't require root, but you will need to install the ~/teslacam/installation/sudoers file to white list certain commands such as enabling host usb mode on the pi. For the sake of getting it running, I'd just get it running as root - when it works, lock it down (all commands run as sudo, so you can restrict the code from doing anything unexpected)

Ok... I know one of your desires was to get an updated install guide setup. I'd be happy to help flush things out during my initial testing of this. I didn't see anything about the ~/teslacam/installation/sudoers installation so I'll add that to my notes thus far

Answer 15 · 2019-07-18T15:22:38.000Z

That would be great. It's still a work in progress so as improvements are made I've neglected to update the docs by mistake. Just FYI there are two additional branches. One which uses Docker to avoid the pain of installation, and another which uses EXT4 instead of FAT32. You may want to check those out once you have master running.

Answer 19 · 2019-07-18T17:47:42.000Z

Re-did everything. Services don't seem to ever start. I tried entering things into the /etc/rc.local but no go. Not sure where I'm going wrong. These are my steps:

Steps to get a Raspberry Pi Zero W setup for TeslaCam on Windows

Hardware:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013G4EAEI/
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0748MPQT4/
64GB SDHC Card (already had one I got from Costco)

Download and the latest "lite" Raspbian: https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/
Download and install Etcher: https://www.balena.io/etcher/

Insert your SDHC card into your PC. Launch Etcher. Point it to the location of the Raspbian .zip file and flash the card. When that is completed, re-insert the SDHC card into your PC

===== Enable OTG on the Pi Zero W =====

Follow this great guide to setup OTG on the Pi Zero W: https://blog.gbaman.info/?p=791

Browse to the /boot partition on the SDHC card on your PC
Add this to the bottom of the config.txt file:
dtoverlay=dwc2
Save the file

Add this to the cmdline.txt file. Place it right after rootwait with a space at the end of it. Be careful as syntax is critical:
modules-load=dwc2,g_ether

Save the file

===== Configure WiFi =====

Follow this guide for WiFi setup: https://www.raspberrypi-spy.co.uk/2017/04/manually-setting-up-pi-wifi-using-wpa_supplicant-conf/

Create a file called wpa_supplicant.conf
Paste this for the WiFi Setup:

country=us
update_config=1
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

network={
scan_ssid=1
ssid="yourwifi"
psk="yourpassword"
}

Save the file

==== Boot the Pi Zero W for the first time =====

Eject the SDHC card from your PC
Place the SDHC card into the proper slot on the Pi Zero W
Connect your USB Micro to USB cable to the USB port on the Pi Zero W
Connect the this to your PC and wait for the Pi to boot (about 2 minutes. The green light on the Pi will be solid green)

Use an SSH client to SSH to the Pi Zero W

hostname: rasbperrypi.local
username: pi
password: raspberry

===== Installing daemontools =====
https://isotope11.com/blog/manage-your-services-with-daemontools

SSH back into the Pi to install daemontools:

sudo su -
mkdir -p /package
chmod 1755 /package
cd /package

wget http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/daemontools-0.76.tar.gz
tar -xpf daemontools-0.76.tar.gz
rm -f daemontools-0.76.tar.gz
cd admin/daemontools-0.76

ed ./src/conf-cc
1s/$/ -include errno.h/
wq

package/install

apt-get install csh
csh -cf '/command/svscanboot &'
sed -i "1 a\csh -cf '/command/svscanboot &'" /etc/rc.local
chmod +x /etc/rc.local
reboot

===== Install Node.js =====

mkdir -p /opt/node; cd /opt/node
wget https://nodejs.org/dist/v10.16.0/node-v10.16.0-linux-armv6l.tar.xz
tar -xvf node-v10.16.0-linux-armv6l.tar.xz
chown -R root:root node-v10.16.0-linux-armv6l
ln -s /opt/node/node-v10.16.0-linux-armv6l/bin/* /usr/bin/

===== Install GIT =====

apt-get install git

As the pi User:

cd /home/pi
git clone https://github.com/milesburton/teslacam

===== Final Steps =====

As root:

mkdir -p /etc/service;cd /etc/service;ln -s /home/pi/teslacam/services/* .
vi /etc/sudoers
r /home/pi/teslacam/installation/sudoers
reboot

As the pi User:

cd /home/pi/teslacam;npm install
cd /home/pi/teslacam/src/remote;npm install

sudo poweroff

Plug the Pi Zero W into the Tesla media USB ports (the front ports). Make sure you use the data port on the Pi, google if you are unsure.
Reboot, once the automatic configuration completes (circa 1 minute) the car should detect the Pi as a USB drive.

Answer 20 · 2019-07-18T18:10:07.000Z

OK let's try something simple. Let's start the dashcam-monitor.js directly. To do that, cd /home/pi/teslacam/src; node dashcam-monitor.js // whilst plugged in to your computer.

OK the node script you ran looks good, did it mount anything on your machine? Not sure why npm start isn't playing ball. Let's start with the raw dashcam script to make sure that's doing what it should and go from there

Answer 24 · 2019-07-18T19:34:51.000Z

The script activates the Raspberry Pi W's OTG port (the second port towards the central of the pi). If you plug that port in to your main computer it should mount as a standard USB Flash Drive. The idea being we are trying to emulate a thumb drive which the Tesla uses. This fake drive wont show up on the pi, it needs a host machine to be visible. Plug it in to your computer, it should mount after a starting up (ie running the command)

So I only have the USB cable connected to my PC now. I don't have external power running to the Pi at the moment. When I run the command connected like this I don't get a drive mounted on my PC. Should I be supplying external power in the outtermost USB port on the Pi then connecting it to a USB port on my PC with 2nd port towards the inside of the pi?

Answer 26 · 2019-07-18T20:22:24.000Z

You should be able to power the pi with only a single cable from your PC connected to the OTG port on the pi (the USB port towards the centre of the pi). When you run the node script I mentioned earlier, after a minute or so it should mount a drive on your computer

:( Not doing it with either a single USB cable or externally powered. I'm going to try the stretch-lite flashing and see if that is a culprit. Not sure what I'm doing wrong here otherwise...

Strange. My recommendation is focus on the dashcam script. Don't worry about the permissions if you are running as root. Assuming the dashcam script doesn't fail (it'll throw up errors in the output) it should be working.

Those errors are fine, it's basically trying to unmount (detach) the USB drive ... but nothing is mounted. If the error is a real issue the script should crash. Try running this: # This unmounts the faux USB drive sudo /sbin/modprobe -r g_mass_storage sudo /bin/umount /mnt sudo /sbin/losetup -d /dev/loop0 # This should mount the usb drive and show up on your windows pc sudo /sbin/modprobe g_mass_storage file=/home/pi/teslacam/images/cam0 removable=1 ro=0 stall=0 iSerialNumber=56691

Hmm, something isn't quite right there. It could be the module drivers for the kernel (ie: go back to Stretch raspbien). As an experiment you could try out this branch https://github.com/milesburton/teslacam/tree/add-ext4-filesystem << you'll need to delete your /home/pi/teslacam/images/cam* files

Answer 37 · 2019-07-18T20:54:02.000Z

ps did you see this (I forgot about it)

Modify the /boot partition to enable USB OTG. We need to enable g_mass_storage and dw2. 2b. Edit your cmdline.txt to include "loop.max_part=31". The file should look similar to: "dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=serial0,115200 console=tty1 root=PARTUUID=53202854-02 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline fsck.repair=yes loop.max_part=31 rootwait modules-load=dwc2,g_mass_storage

Answer 38 · 2019-07-18T20:57:37.000Z

I only have this portion:

===== Enable OTG on the Pi Zero W =====

Follow this great guide to setup OTG on the Pi Zero W: https://blog.gbaman.info/?p=791

Browse to the /boot partition on the SDHC card on your PC
Add this to the bottom of the config.txt file:
dtoverlay=dwc2
Save the file

Add this to the cmdline.txt file. Place it right after rootwait with a space at the end of it. Be careful as syntax is critical:
modules-load=dwc2,g_ether

Save the file

Answer 39 · 2019-07-18T20:59:51.000Z

Modify the config.txt and add modules-load=dwc2,g_mass_storage Sorry I should have spotted that earlier. g_ether has nothing to do with this project

Answer 40 · 2019-07-18T21:26:22.000Z

Boom! When I added the g_mass_storage module to the cmdline.txt file, rebooted and ran node dashcam-monitor.js it mounted a 1GB USB drive on the PC. You're notes did call out having g_mass_storage setup but I was doing a copy from the URL that was referenced.

I do notice that services still aren't starting though. They don't seem to background processes so do they just run on boot and that's it?

They should only start on startup. Let's look at that next once you've confirmed the dashcam-monitor script is working

Ok when I reboot the pi, I get an error on the PC saying USB mass storage device not recognized and I don't see a drive mounted.

I also don't see any log info here:

~/teslacam/services/dashcam-monitor/log/main

I was going by your instructions of creating the links to services:

/etc/service ln -s /home/pi/teslacam/services/* .

/etc/service doesn't exist so I'm creating it. /etc/services is a file that exists already so not sure if thing service wise are setup properly.

Answer 44 · 2019-07-18T22:02:52.000Z

At a high level that's usually a power issue, check you don't have any dodgy connections. As for the logs, for now, you'll have to fire up the dashcam script manually. Unfortunately it's rather late here, let's pick this up tomorrow

:( Not doing it with either a single USB cable or externally powered. I'm going to try the stretch-lite flashing and see if that is a culprit. Not sure what I'm doing wrong here otherwise...

A quick breakdown of permission stuff though. I'm doing everything as root except when I clone the repo. I'm doing that as the pi user and I'm also running the node dashcam-monitor.js command as the pi user. I have the sudoers file in place as well....

So, I'm EXACTLY the same place. I've been at this for hours and can't get this going. If you resolve this, please ping me.

Edit: I just noticed in your instructions I'm supposed to "cd /etc/service ln -s /home/pi/teslacam/services/* " /etc/service does not exist in my system. I just tried doing a mkdir but is this maybe an issue with DaemonTools not installing right?

Answer 47 · 2019-07-27T07:58:38.000Z

OK let's try something simple. Let's start the dashcam-monitor.js directly. To do that, cd /home/pi/teslacam/src; node dashcam-monitor.js // whilst plugged in to your computer. The services could be something irrelevant. Now you've checked out the code again, what did npm run start do for you from /home/pi/teslacam?
…

Ok, after my above edit and a fourth attempt at redoing everything I now have node dashcam-monitor.js mount a drive to my local machine. It still doesn't run as a service but this is progress.

Answer 48 · 2019-07-30T12:40:13.000Z

Right, looks like services isn't correctly cloned down. You need the files in this directory to appear

https://github.com/milesburton/teslacam/tree/master/services

you could try a git reset --hard, that should revert any changes you may have made accidentally.

I am using buster-lite and had same issue of file does not exist. Not sure this was the fix, but try creating a symbolic link to /opt/node/bin/node in /bin. we already have node in /usr/bin, but add it to /bin folder. Let me know if this fixes anyone else.

I still have a problem where supervise is not running and the rc.local does not seem to kick off /command/svscanboot. Anyone have recommendation? Even if I sudo /command/svscanboot &, I see supervise not running.
sudo supervise /etc/service/dashcam-monitor does run the service.

I found my two issues.

i added the /command/svscanboot to the end of rc.local, it needed to be above the exit 0 line.
the file svscanboot pointed to /service in three locations, I changed all to /etc/service. I will try to install in my car later today. but it boots and drive mount appears on my mac.

thank you.
