Multiple Tasks on ESP32 with Arduino

Postby gailu96 » Thu Aug 15, 2024 4:04 pm

Hi Experts,

I am moving from ESP8266 NONOS SDK to ESP32 with Arduino and learning it slowly. I am trying to create 2 tasks running in parallel. Tasks gets created execute first loop and then ESP crashes. I am attaching my simple code and Crash logs. Can someone please let me know what is wrong with the below code causing ESP crash and reboot.

Here is the code

Code: Select all

/*
   Task
 */

#include <Arduino.h>

void writeTask(void *parameter);
void readTask(void *parameter);

void setup() {
    Serial.begin(115200);

    xTaskCreate(
        writeTask,      // Function name of the task
        "Write Count",   // Name of the task (e.g. for debugging)
        2048,        // Stack size (bytes)
        NULL,        // Parameter to pass
        1,           // Task priority
        NULL         // Task handle
    );
    xTaskCreate(
        readTask,     // Function name of the task
        "Read Count",  // Name of the task (e.g. for debugging)
        2048,       // Stack size (bytes)
        NULL,       // Parameter to pass
        1,          // Task priority
        NULL        // Task handle
    );
}

void writeTask(void *parameter) {
    int i;
    for (i=0; i<100; i++);
    {
        Serial.print("Writing Task\r\n");
        delay(1000);
    }
}
void readTask(void *parameter) {
    int i;
    for (i=0; i<100; i++);
    {
        Serial.print("Read Task\r\n");
        delay(1000);
    }
}

void loop() {

}

Please ignore this post. I found the bug.

Bug is semicolon at the end of for loop. My bad.

Note that a task function must not return.
A task needs to either run an infinite loop, or terminate itself via vTaskDelete(NULL) at some point.
