I'm trying the example

esp-idf/examples/wifi/wifi_easy_connect/dpp-enrollee

and find it frequently fails but not always.

I (1199) phy_init: phy_version 4670,719f9f6,Feb 18 2021,17:07:07
I (1309) wifi:mode : sta (50:02:91:86:33:b8)
I (1309) wifi:enable tsf
I (1309) wifi dpp-enrollee: Started listening for DPP Authentication
E (3639) wifi dpp-enrollee: DPP Auth failed (Reason: ESP_ERR_DPP_TX_FAILURE), retry...
[/code]

The error occurs after the initiator sends authentication.

It's not clear why but the code stop working altogether i.e no more events or any interaction after ESP_SUPP_DPP_FAIL. It's supposed to retry but doesn't.

Looking at logs it seems the error is in wpa_supplicant offchannel event handler

Code: Select all

D (6692) event: running post WIFI_EVENT:19 with handler 0x400e03c4 and context 0x3ffc6cd0 on loop 0x3ffbcd18

The wpa debug log shows this:

I don't know where these errors are coming from. I don't understand what the error means either. Perhaps someone can enlighten me.

I can get it work by changing the AP channels. I had the same SSID on 2 different channels (both in the channel list) which I think perplexed it. Probably not ideal but no excuse for crashing.

I'm hitting this as well, and is being discussed further here: https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/issues/10615. I currently can't find a work-around, but more importantly I think we're dealing with an issue here that prevents production deployment of DPP due to the unpredictable errors without reliable (or currently even known) workarounds available in code.
