InstructionFetchError When using WiFi and writing to SD card

Postby 40Below » Tue Sep 26, 2023 5:05 pm

I have a data logging device that is writing JSON data to an SD card at a regular interval. When I don't enable WiFi the device has logged data to the SD card for multiple days without any issues. If I connect the device to WiFi I get the following core dump after an inconsistent amount of time but it's typically 1-3 hours:

Code: Select all

Guru Meditation Error: Core  0 panic'ed (InstructionFetchError). Exception was unhandled.

Backtrace: 0x3ffd8835:0x3ffd37b0 |<-CORRUPTED
Disabling CONFIG_SPIRAM_TRY_ALLOCATE_WIFI_LWIP seemed to make the crash take longer to occur so I suspect that PSRAM might have something to do with the issue but I'm not sure how.

Incase anyone comes across this in the future with the same issue, I believe I discovered my problem. I setup cJSON hooks to use heap_caps_malloc into SPIRAM and after adding IRAM_ATTR to my hooks I haven't seen the crash again yet.
