arduino-create-agent's Introduction

arduino-create-agent

The Arduino Create Agent is a single binary that will sit on the traybar and work in the background. It allows you to use the Arduino Create applications to seamlessly upload code to any USB connected Arduino board (or Yún in LAN) directly from the browser.

Installation

Get the latest version of the Agent for all supported platforms or complete the Getting Started.

Apple silicon support

The Arduino Agent is supported both on Intel and Apple silicon computers. This includes devices with the M1, M2 and M3 processors.
At the moment the Arduino Agent is only built for Intel architectures, but Apple silicon devices can run it thanks to the Rosetta 2 translation layer by Apple.

Documentation

The documentation has been moved to the wiki page. There you can find:

Advanced usage: explaining how to use multiple configurations and how to use the agent with a proxy.
Agent Beta Program
Developement: containing useful info to help in development
Disable Autostart
How to compile on Raspberry Pi
How to use crashreport functionality

arduino-create-agent's Issues

Refactor

This project would probably benefit from a refactor.

We could organize the code in different packages:

main: starts things up, manage the daemonization
server: manage the http and websocket server
StartServer: start a http and https server and serves the requests
discovery: searches for serial and network ports
Loop: starts a Loop updating the list of ports found
monitor: dialogues with serial and network ports
Open: open a port to communicate, returns a channel where you can push info
Close: close a port to stop communicating
program: upload a sketch on a board connected to a port
Program: program a port

[Safari] Agent is not connected to client

It happens a lot on my machine, it doesn't on other's (on Gabriele's works), it seems related on a timeout issue. If you could give it a look it would be really nice!

(Also on @lorenzoromagnoli PC the Agent does not restart automatically, we reinstall it from scratch as we did on mine but still nothing)

Log an error if the certificate is not found

Now if the SSL cert is not found we get no errors in the log of the agent. Please add a line to help find it out.

One of the dependencies is github.com/sanderhahn/gozip/patchzip:
https://github.com/arduino/arduino-create-agent/blob/master/Godeps/Godeps.json#L72

I can't seem to find this project. I can only find gozip: https://github.com/sanderhahn/gozip/

errors running main.go

When I run main.go I get these errors:

What am I missing here? I suppose I'm doing something terribly wrong, but not sure what.

Downloadtools should accept a version instead of using always the latest

mrk1000 board not recognized in macos

Hello guys, I have this problem, when connecting the mkr1000 board, the agent doesnt recognize the board, does it need additional drivers for macos?

Avoid using bash commands to discover serial ports

in seriallist_linux.go we use cat and grep would be nice to only depend on unix classes and not commands.

Staging agent installs the same version of Dev agent

Both staging (1.1) and dev (1.0) versions are 1.0.86 d9eca8e

Therefore the web ide does not communicate with the agent. No yellow FE error message is displayed in the web ide, which is weird.
Error message in Console is the same as in https://github.com/arduino/webide/issues/821

The installer of the staging agent is a slightly different version, it still asks me if I want to use HTTPS or not.

Arch Linux Chromium Issue

Just to note this (was) all working in FireFox 49.0.2 tested with a Leonardo and was able to upload to it, after I found out I had to re-run the getting started process to accept a cert for firefox...

I was first trying to get the plugin working with Chromium which I had no luck on, so then I tried firefox. I didn't realize that you had to run the plugin interface again in the browser (as I already had the bridge installed) to get this cert nfo to pop up. Just thought it would be universal for the platform you are working with, might want to handle this differently as I didn't know what to do until I found these issue posts below then it dawned on me. That I had to then re-run the getting started stuff and then it worked great in FF. 👍 Maybe detect that they don't have the cert and point them to the getting started guide.

#45
puma/puma-dev#47 (comment)

Back to Chromium Version 54.0.2840.90 (64-bit)

Something went wrong

We are not able to establish a secure (HTTPS) connection between the Plugin and the Arduino Web Editor. You can try to restart your browser once more, or Download the Installer and run it again.
Please Write us on the Forum so we can help debugging this isse.

Minor note there is a typo in the word issue at the end of the sentence there. ^

Which the website then says:

Plugin correctly installed!

You should now see the Arduino Plugin Icon in your top or bottom bar of the Linux distribution you are using. Click on the Tray Icon for a link to the Arduino Web Editor, and if you want to Pause the plugin.
If you close it you can relanching by clicking the Arduino Plugin icon on your desktop.

Another minor typo above "relanching" => "relaunching".

"You had one job spellcheck!"

When you click next:

Restart Chrome

We know this is annoying, but to update the Certificates settings you need to restart Chrome.
If you don't restart the browser, the Arduino Web Editor won't be able to communicate with the plugin. The browser will reopen just this tab.
Any issue or question? Write us on the Forum.

Click Restart:

I'm going to take a stab in the dark, but it seems like the same issue FireFox was having without the cert, as I believe it sent the same message in the CLI, but alas Chromium didn't prompt to add anything like Firefox did.

Edit: I just tried to export the cert from Firefox and then Import it into Chromium which did not work, still at a stand still, error didn't change.

I may have devalidated the cert some how in firefox using it on chromium as now it says:

http2: server: error reading preface from client 127.0.0.1:45592: remote error: tls: bad certificate

For Firefox. Yay! I tried removing it on Firefox and readding it but no luck there.

serial handling bug

http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=449744.0

Incorrect Install Directory on Mac

Installed on Mac, it installs the agent in /Users/username/Applications, rather than ~username/Applications.

They're the same for accounts created with default settings in Preferences, but for Accounts created in Server App the Home directory can be anywhere - in my case on an external disk with a different name.

It still seems to work, but it looks like the install fails.

Signature error when network upload

The commandline and subsequent signature is empty, but it still tries to verify it. We shouldn't verify the commandline for a network upload

Please add instructions on how to install dependencies

For go newbies (like myself) it is quite daunting how go handle package dependencies. What I've tried seems not to be sufficient:

export GOPATH=$(pwd)
go get github.com/tools/godep
./bin/godep get ./...

I got some issues like having to download dependencies with go get because godep did not find them:

Binary data support

Currently all the messages being sent are being explici cast to string (serialport.go, line 113).
Having support for sending binary data through the serial port would be great.

Maybe you could choose a protocol/type of data you want to receive when you open the port?

This would be crucial for the Eslov-system that is going to be ported/implemented into agent/create in the future.

[Mac] Daemon not launching at reboot

Happens on my Mac if you want to try to debug it :)
@mastrolinux

Prevent autostart on boot

Could someone implement an option/ a setting to choose wether you want the plugin to autostart on boot. Because I don't like the fact that it just clutters my statusbar without asking. And I hate to know that software is running on my machine while I am not using the respective piece of software.

I want to be able to choose wether it should autostart or wether I will manually start the plugin whenever I want to use it.

Check if the directory of a tool exists

If the user deletes a directory from ~/.arduino-create the agent doesn't notice and continues thinking it already exists. It should probably check and download the tool again if at startup the folder didn't exist.

Mega board not recognised on Windows IDE

When plugging in the Mega to Windows and using the Create IDE (on Chrome), Mega shows up as "Board at COM5" rather than the expected "Arduino/Genuino Mega 2560 at COM5". When I have tried to select the Arduino Mega as the board for the port before uploading, it still shows the "Board at COM5" in the dropdown list of connected boards as well as the Mega which is shown as disconnected. It is therefore not possible to upload a sketch to the board since the Mega is disconnected and the Board at COM5 does not know which board it is. (However it works without this problem on my Mac.)

[ERR] bonjour: Failed to bind to udp6 port: listen udp6 :5353: bind: address already in use

On Ubuntu 16, with a fresh install I get:

Also when running "lsof -i udp:5353" as root:

Debug console doesn't seem to work anymore

V 1.0.21-3037740 on OSX
when I select "open debug console" nothing happens. Web console doesn't show any error. if I try lo reload I get "The connection to ws://localhost:8991/socket.io/?EIO=3&transport=websocket&sid=dlJm4u7YjwpEcajp7G-3 was interrupted while the page was loading. socket.io.min.js:2:19359

Create an Android apk for experimental support

Would be nice to package the builder for Android too. At least for x86 and Arm.

Socketio Messages

We are using http://socket.io/ but only for its reconnections.

We could leverage the concept of events in order to have a clearer API.

For example:

Event from the client	Arguments
CmdDiscover
CmdOpen	{port: "", baud: ""}
CmdClose	{port: ""}
CmdSend	{port: "", data: ""}
CmdDownload	{tool: "", version: ""}
CmdTools
CmdInterrupt

Event from the agent	Arguments
DiscoverSerial	[]array of boards
DiscoverNetwork	[]array of boards
ProgramOutput	{msg: "", type: "debug"}
ProgramSuccess	{msg: ""}
ProgramError	{msg: "", err: ""}
DownloadOutput	{msg: "", type: "debug"}
DownloadSuccess	{msg: ""}
DownloadError	{msg: "", err: ""}

HiDPI support in the installer

Bitrock Support says:

property, which will allow you to manually resize the installer window:

<project>
   ...
   <allowWindowResize>1</allowWindowResize>
   ...
</project>

On Windows, we also support DPI aware installers by enabling :

<project>
   ...
   <enableHDPISupport>1</<enableHDPISupport>
   ...
<project>

Edge case when multiple PC identities are using the agent

User A downloads the agent and have it running
User B downloads the agent and have it running
User A wants to pause or kill the agent

This is currently not possible because it Agent A keeps running.
From the UX point of view this is quite mesmerizing because the action you are doing has no feedback and you might want to turn the agent off cause you need to use the ports or whatever.
We need a way to identify the agent with the specific identity, this way we could close it on one user only.

To be sure users download the right tool, include a md5 file and a check after dowbload for every of them.

At the end of the installation, the plugin is not correctly quitted and so the installation process freezes at 98%. Clicking on quit the installation finish and everything works.

Incorrect License.md contact details

The license file was copied without filling in actual contact details of SW creators.
It currently reads for example:

Add kill-programmer API

The "Interrupt" button in the web interface should have a dual behaviour:

kill the java IDE if pressed before compilation end
kill the programmer if pressed after

We should keep track of the spawned process' pid to kill it in a cross platform fashion. Maybe a library exists to do this?

Update udev rules during installation

To make the programming port of the Zero working we need to add the following on linux:

ACTION!="add|change", GOTO="openocd_rules_end"
SUBSYSTEM!="usb|tty|hidraw", GOTO="openocd_rules_end"
# CMSIS-DAP compatible adapters
ATTRS{product}=="*CMSIS-DAP*", MODE="664", GROUP="plugdev"
LABEL="openocd_rules_end"

I did that creating a file named /etc/udev/rules.d/61-openocd.rules with that content.

[Win] teal tray icon on blue bar, hard to see

From the forum: http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=361376.msg2803283#msg2803283
Also maybe a slight colour change for the client side toolbar icon as here its like a faint blob on the toolbar.
And no its not a custom toolbar colour either. its windows stock.

Make sure to add proper CORS only on the listening ports

https://github.com/arduino/arduino-create-agent/blob/devel/main.go#L220 Right now we cycle on every port and add too many CORS headers. It will allow an attacker to run a process on localhost and use our own certificate.

[macOS] uninstaller doesn't remove ~/.arduino-create/

Myself and @00alis both tried to uninstall the Agent using the uninstaller. Afterwards the ~/.arduino-create/ folder still contained the tools the Agent had previously downloaded. I would expect those to be removed as part of the uninstall.

[Mac] white tray icon on dark scheme

From the betatesting http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=363469.0

The second issue was that I couldn't see that the Agent was running. My system is set to use the Dark menu bar and Dock - the ArduinoCreateAgent.app does not show an icon on the main display with the Dark menu, it does show on the non-active display menu, so I finally figured out that it was running, and the Agent took me to the http:// pages.

Downloadtools method is completely blocking

Whenever a downloadtools command is triggered the agent waits for the response and if in the meantime there are other activitities running (such as serial monitor) the agents stops reacting and we could see a disconnection in the client side.

For a full example sketch please contact @00alis

Do you know https://github.com/webusb/arduino/ ?

Maybe it could be a (far) future direction to this project...

Documentation for the HTTP(S) interface of Create Agent

Hello,

I have noticed that the Arduino Create Agent offers HTTP(S) and WebSocket endpoints for talking to the Arduino and to upload sketches. I am developing a block-based Arduino system in order to help teach Arduino and electronics to kids via my code club and makerspace (blockuino.no), and I am investigating the possibility of including functionality to upload sketches directly from blockuino.no to the Arduino via these HTTP(S) or WebSocket endpoints.

So far, though I am having little luck. I can generate a Curl copy of the request that the Arduino Create website creates when uploading the Hex file, but I am unable to replicate this via HTTP(S) at all.

Is there an example or a guide of sorts that I can look at in order to complete this integration?

For completeness I am attaching the full HTTP Request that I am trying to send to the Arduino. The result is a "200 OK" response, but nothing really happens on the Arduino itself.

HTTP Request: https://gist.github.com/joachimhs/152a21399f51be43ce9f84ff0f5379cd

Potential arbitrary command execution

Now the command line is sent via the backend to the daemon and is not signed. The #70 is an intention to fix this issue by signing every command line request to a trusted client. The signing key is server side.
