How to set dual core mode?

[roctwo]

When I started ESP32, it can be seen from the log, is a single core mode. Here is the log.
I (637) cpu_start: Single core mode
I (642) cpu_start: Pro cpu start user code
How can I make it to be dual core mode after I started ESP32?

[WiFive]

Menuconfig freertos on both cores. Then pin a task to cpu1 or it won't initialize scheduler (bug).

Menuconfig freertos on both cores. Then pin a task to cpu1 or it won't initialize scheduler (bug).

I did "make menuconfig"and make freertos on both cores.But after ESP32 start,from log,It's still single core mode.

Did you reflash bootloader?

edit:
if you have tested and wounder why your process hang up
posted hand made code here with a mistake on core numbers core_0, core_1 and the print messages to "core1_task", "core0_task"

Code: Select all

	xTaskCreatePinnedToCore(&hello_task_core_1, "core1_task", 1024*4, NULL, configMAX_PRIORITIES - 1, NULL, core_0);
	xTaskCreatePinnedToCore(&hello_task_core_0, "core0_task", 1024*4, NULL, configMAX_PRIORITIES - 1, NULL, core_1);

and have edit by hand only the last param ( core_0 , core_1 to core_1, core_0 ) after i have seen
that was difference code to my running example,

Code: Select all

	xTaskCreatePinnedToCore(&hello_task_core_1, "core1_task", 1024*4, NULL, configMAX_PRIORITIES - 1, NULL, core_1);
	xTaskCreatePinnedToCore(&hello_task_core_0, "core0_task", 1024*4, NULL, configMAX_PRIORITIES - 1, NULL, core_0);

but have posted my running outputs

I (880) cpu_start: Starting scheduler on PRO CPU.
I (81) cpu_start: Starting scheduler on APP CPU.

( it runs because the core_0 was start as first ..( mistake printf..core1_task )

Code: Select all

	xTaskCreatePinnedToCore(&hello_task_core_1, "core1_task", 1024*4, NULL, configMAX_PRIORITIES - 1, NULL, core_0);
	xTaskCreatePinnedToCore(&hello_task_core_0, "core0_task", 1024*4, NULL, configMAX_PRIORITIES - 1, NULL, core_1);

now have changed on posted code the enumeration on TaskCreatedPinnedToCore

from ( just in time not running code )

Code: Select all

	xTaskCreatePinnedToCore(&hello_task_core_1, "core1_task", 1024*4, NULL, configMAX_PRIORITIES - 1, NULL, core_1);
	xTaskCreatePinnedToCore(&hello_task_core_0, "core0_task", 1024*4, NULL, configMAX_PRIORITIES - 1, NULL, core_0);

to ( running code )

I (880) cpu_start: Starting scheduler on PRO CPU.
I (81) cpu_start: Starting scheduler on APP CPU.

Code: Select all

	xTaskCreatePinnedToCore(&hello_task_core_0, "core1_task", 1024*4, NULL, configMAX_PRIORITIES - 1, NULL, core_0);
	xTaskCreatePinnedToCore(&hello_task_core_1, "core0_task", 1024*4, NULL, configMAX_PRIORITIES - 1, NULL, core_1);

now it is same code like here at my desk the code and output run.

further info see here

btw..
No one noticed the wrong mistake in code posting from me?
