ESP32 hangs when using core 1

Hello all,
I'm having a problem executing blink on Core 1. My ESP is the WeMos Lolin32 Lite. Tried to modify the priority, the task handler, add vTaskStartScheduler() in the end of code, all without success. Here's the code:
Code: Select all
#include <stdio.h>
#include "freertos/FreeRTOS.h"
#include "freertos/task.h"
#include "driver/gpio.h"
#include "sdkconfig.h"
#define BLINK_GPIO 22
void blink_task(void *param)
{
gpio_pad_select_gpio(BLINK_GPIO);
gpio_set_direction(BLINK_GPIO, GPIO_MODE_OUTPUT);
while(1)
{
gpio_set_level(BLINK_GPIO, 0);
vTaskDelay(500 / portTICK_PERIOD_MS);
gpio_set_level(BLINK_GPIO, 1);
vTaskDelay(500 / portTICK_PERIOD_MS);
}
}
void app_main()
{
xTaskCreatePinnedToCore(blink_task, "Blink", 1000, NULL, 20, NULL, 0);
}
I'm using Eclipse Oxygen to program the ESP32. When I change it to core 1, it does not blink. There's something that I'm missing?

Putting &blink_task in xTaskCreatePinnedToCore didn't solve the problem. The ESP32 still hangs, without blinking. Tried to increase stack size this time, also without results. If I change to core 0, it works, so apparently the problem is with core 1...but why?

Perhaps in 'make menuconfig', you have set freertos to unicore mode? (Component config -> FreeRTOS -> Run FreeRTOS only on first core)?

Shouldn't xtaskcreatepinnedtocore do something other than fail silently like pick a valid core or print an error?

Gosh, that was the problem. ESP32 is running fine on two cores now that I've changed that. Thank you!

It printed this for me:
C:/msys32/home/f813/esp/esp-idf/components/freertos/tasks.c:1072 (prvAddNewTaskToReadyList)- assert failed!
abort() was called at PC 0x40083d4a on core 0
But I had no clue what that meant...

Yes, it should respond better to that and from memory, esp-idf also used to check this. We'll put a check for this back in.
