Not enough heap memory during esp_wifi_init()
Posted: Fri Mar 03, 2023 2:31 pm
I am using a ESP32 project with LVGL. The starting point was the https://github.com/espressif/esp-dev-ki ... ello_world project. I want to add WiFi access point functionality but it appears there is not enough memory available. Decreasing the buffer size of LVGL, or moving it to PSRAM resolves the problem. But this makes the display extremely slow. I printed the amount that is allocated by lvgl, the available memory and largest_free_block to find out if there should be enough memory available. "largest free" is printed right before calling esp_wifi_init().
I don't understand why there is not enough memory available...

Code: Select all
allocating = 48000 bytes
heap free = 2162366
largest free = 2064384
