CPU crash due to DPort access?

Hello, I am running a program with multiple tasks on the ESP32 module, which are continuously employing GPIO interrupts, timer interrupts and WiFi communication. After running for a few hours, the system suddenly crashed and reset itself with the following message on the monitor: W (30) boot: PRO CP...

Pinning tasks to Core for ISR

I read the following on the ESP-IDF doc Care should be taken when allocating an interrupt using a task not pinned to a certain core; while running code not in a critical section, these tasks can migrate between cores at any moment, possibly making an interrupt operation fail because of the reasons m...

Re: GPIO interrupt flags

Just to clarify, So how can 2 GPIO interrupts(attached to different ISR's) which may occur simultaneously, be detected correctly, if they are ultimately being multiplexed into 1 CPU interrupt? (using the ESP_INTR_FLAG_DEFAULT flag) Won't they need to keep track of separate flags to correctly activat...

Re: GPIO interrupt flags

The example shows how to set up a simple GPIO interrupt which I already understand. I am talking about a case with multiple GPIO interrupts running on different pins, and threads. How should the gpio_install_isr_service(int intr_alloc_flags) be used in that case? The argument which takes flags are d...

GPIO interrupt flags

Hello, I wanted some clarification regarding the gpio_install_isr_service(int intr_alloc_flags) function. In my system, I have 2 sources of GPIO interrupts on different pins, running in different threads. Therefore I am installing the GPIO ISR service once in the main file. But what argument should ...

Re: multi-thread I2C synchronization

* The I2C APIs are not thread-safe, if you want to use one I2C port in different tasks,
* you need to take care of the multi-thread issue.
Yes, I too had a doubt this. Any clarification regarding how to go about it?

Thanks

Re: multi-thread I2C synchronization

Alright. That means I don't need to install and delete the I2C driver everytime I enter the mutex. I would just need to send the I2C address as the first byte within the mutex, for every I2C operation. Also, I should be using a single I2C controller(I2C 0 OR I2C 1) for both I2C slaves, since I have ...

Re: multi-thread I2C synchronization

Sorry, allow me to rephrase. I mean during every context switch, do I need to install and delete the I2C driver within a mutex, for concurrent I2C communication? Installing the I2C driver entails pointing to the buffer where the slave address is stored. Is there a better way to perform concurrent I2...

multi-thread I2C synchronization

I am using an ESP32 board to communicate with an LCD and an I/O expander using an I2C bus. I am working the ESP-IDF environment. I am using 2 separate threads for the LCD and I/O expander each to concurrently access them. I am trying to use a mutex to implement thread-safe I2C. Do I need to install ...

Re: MCP23017 Port Expander

Hello, I'm interfacing MCP23017 IO expander with the ESP32. I was going to use the modified Adafruit_MCP23017 library: https://github.com/nkolban/esp32-snippets/tree/master/hardware/expanders/mcp23017 However, I noticed that it is a .cpp file. My entire code is in C. Is there a way to use this libra...
