ESP32 as WiFi access point crashes on connection

[Mike1997]

I'm programming an ESP32 via ArduinoIDE and stumble upon a strange problem. It operates as WiFi access point, the code is quite simple and straight-forward:

Code: Select all

IPAddress apIP(192,168,1,1);

WiFi.mode(WIFI_AP);
WiFi.softAP("MyESP32");
WiFi.softAPConfig(apIP,apIP,IPAddress(255,255,255,0));

Now when a client connects to this AP, it often prints out these error messages:

Code: Select all

dhcps: send_nak>>udp_sendto result 0
dhcps: send_offer>>udp_sendto result 0

...and sometimes they are followed by a crash:

Code: Select all

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

To say that clear: this happens during connection of a Wifi-client, nothing else is done where my own ESP32 code would be involved.

Any idea what the reason could be for this and how to fix it?

Thanks!

Show your whole code please.

The whole code is way too big. What is shown above is the complete Wifi initialisation. Beside of that there is a webserver bound to this IP:

Code: Select all

   #include <WebServer.h>

   server.on("/",eventIndex);
   server.on("/woff.html",eventWoff);
   server.on("/graph.svg",drawGraph);
   server.on("/graphL.svg",drawGraphL);
   server.onNotFound(handleNotFound);
   delay(500);
   server.begin();

Once the Wifi-client could connect successfully and without a crash, everything (including the webserver) works properly.

I see the same issue. Is there a solution or workaround for it ?
