I did post this in another area but have not had much response.
My project uses RS485 (set up code below). The project sends RS485 data every 200ms to a remote unit that replies.
At some "random" time (sometimes it might run 30 minutes and at other times runs 2-3 days) the ENABLE signal goes low at start of packet before the data is sent. Once this happens, it appears to remain in that state and no communication occurs until hardware is reset. There was a discussion in 2019 about this but I did not understand what solution worked and whether this is something needs fixing in the driver. I am running ESP-IDF 4.2
Below is my setup and TX code (Note: I added the line that waits for TX done after sending in the hope this fixes it, I have only just done this so not sure if it has fixed anything yet).

#define UART_QUEUE_SIZE 100

#define TAG "UART"

{
uart_read_bytes(rs485_uart, rx_buffer, uart_event.size,UART_BREAK_TIME);
bytesReceived = uart_event.size;
xSemaphoreGive(received_uart_data);
}
break;

Re: RS485 Uart issue
I have faced something like this before, are you using an RS485 transceiver with direction control pin?

Re: RS485 Uart issue
Yes
I have set mode for Half Duplex and have the Enable pin being controlled by the Uart Driver
