ESP32 - Guru Meditation Error: Core 1 panic'ed (LoadProhibited)

Posted: Wed Dec 06, 2023 9:36 pm
by CCooper1971
Hi All,

Need some help here.

Running an ESP32 WROOM and using 2 x I2S interfaces (In (Microphone) & Out (Amplifier))), I2C interface and SPI interface. The I2C controls a Texas Instruments Class D Amplifier, while the SPI connects to an SD card for WAV & MP3 files.

This functionality all works and I can play MP3 tracks or switch to the I2S microphone all satisfactorily.

However, I need to enable ESP NOW and as soon as I do, I get a boot loop when the setup function calls:

Code: Select all

	// Initialise WiFi ESP Now

	if (esp_now_init() != ESP_OK) {
		Serial.println("Error initializing ESP-NOW");
		return;
	}

	else Serial.println("ESP initialized succesfully");
The error is as follows:

Code: Select all

Guru Meditation Error: Core  1 panic'ed (LoadProhibited). Exception was unhandled.

Can you decode that backtrace?

Hi,

I have tried all manner of approaches to establish what’s causing this. Searches advise that the problem is caused by in illegal memory call, caused here: excvaddr:%200x0000004c in the error.

I have removed the interrupts, changed the order of the setup, ensured enough memory remains. Tried different IDEs to see if I get more information (Mostly I work in Visual Studio 2022 with Visual Micro Plug in).

Thx

Hi,

Not sure how to do that specifically. I have purchased an ESP Prog, which I’ll configure over the weekend to see if I can come up with any indicators.

What’s annoying is that the system works as an I2S system, or I can use ESP Now, but as soon as I bring them together, I get the boot loop. Therefore it has to be something in the ESP Now library which doesn’t like the Audio Tools library.

Regards

Christopher

 Not sure how to do that specifically.
You probably want https://github.com/me-no-dev/EspExceptionDecoder .

Although I haven't solved it with this method, at least there has been a positive already, as it turns out that Visual Studio with Visual Micro includes an Exception Error system as standard!

Unfortunately, it simply points me to what I already knew, which his that the error occurs at this point in the code:

Code: Select all

	if (esp_now_init() != ESP_OK) {
		Serial.println("Error initializing ESP-NOW");
		return;
	}
		
	else Serial.println("ESP initialized succesfully");
This is the output from the Exception Error Reporting Tool:

Code: Select all

Exception:Error:
??:?:::0x400f3098:esp_now_init
/builds/idf/crosstool-NG/.build/HOST-i686-w64-mingw32/xtensa-esp32-elf/src/newlib/newlib/libc/machine/xtensa/strlen.S:84:::0x40087b7d:strlen
/builds/idf/crosstool-NG/.build/HOST-i686-w64-mingw32/xtensa-esp32-elf/src/newlib/newlib/libc/machine/xtensa/strlen.S:96:::0x40087b8d:strlen

0x40078000: ?? ??:0
??:?:::0x40080400:_init
0x400805f0: ?? ??:0
For a sanity check, I once again commented out the above and my sketch works flawlessly for I2S inputs and outputs on two I2S channels. Also reading from SD card via the SPI bus and the Amplifier is controlled is registers using I2C.

Does esp_now work if you don't enable all these other devices? That sort of strlen error could definitely come from a function that doesn't do proper checking to make sure memory was allocated. I would take a look at your stack and heap usage just before you init esp_now to see if something is exhausted.
Here's how I usually check heap memory.
You can track stack memory with uxTaskGetStackHighWaterMark(NULL). Note that it is an inverse, so you need to know how much memory is in your stack (the default is 8192).
You can increase your stack memory by defining ARDUINO_LOOP_STACK_SIZE

Apologies to anyone who has read this and tried to help, but I have figured out the issue. One line of code which I had missed as follows:

Code: Select all

	// Set device as a Wi-Fi Station.
	WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA);

Hi All,

Unfortunately, this wasn't the fix I thought it was. Yes, it stopped the boot loop, but that is only while the USB lead is connected.

The boot loop returns as soon as you remove the USB lead, with the same error which is, as soon as it gets to ESP_NOW_INIT, the ESP reboots.

What is fascinating is that when you either disable or insert the WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA), the sketch does run with the USB lead inserted. As soon as you remove the USB lead, it reboots.

Before anyone says it’s a power problem, it isn't, as I have thoroughly discounted it.

Any help once again appreciated.

Regards,

Christopher
