New user with "Core 0 panic'ed (StoreProhibited)." error.

[elkevo]

I am new to the embedded programming world and have been following an amazing book I found on FreeRTOS official documentation "Mastering the FreeRTOS real time kernel". I am programming on a ES WROON 32 board and this books translates really good to ESP-IDF except for some small changes. Anyway, I am following a tutorial about Queues where 2 tasks send data to a queue and a third task with a higher priority reads data from it. I'm attaching my code below.

Code: Select all

#include <stdio.h>
#include "freertos/FreeRTOS.h"
#include "freertos/task.h"
#include "freertos/queue.h"

QueueHandle_t xQueue;

static void vSender(void *pvParameters)
{
    int32_t IValueToSend;
    BaseType_t xStatus;
    IValueToSend = (int32_t)pvParameters;
    for(;;)
    {   
        xStatus = xQueueSendToBack(xQueue,&IValueToSend,0);
        if(xStatus != pdPASS) printf("Could not send to Queue\n");
        vTaskDelay(pdMS_TO_TICKS(100));
    }
}

static void vReceiver(void *pvParameters)
{
    int32_t IReceivedValue;
    BaseType_t xStatus;
    const TickType_t xTicksToWait = pdMS_TO_TICKS(100);
    for(;;)
    {
        if(uxQueueMessagesWaiting(xQueue)!=0) printf("Queue should be empy what is wrong?");
        xStatus = xQueueReceive(xQueue,&IReceivedValue, xTicksToWait);
        if(xStatus == pdPASS) printf("Received data");
        else printf("Did not receive data");
    }
}

void app_main(void)
{
    xQueue = xQueueCreate(5,sizeof(int32_t));
    if(xQueue != NULL)
    {
        xTaskCreate(vSender,"Sender 1",1000,(void *)100,1,NULL);
        xTaskCreate(vSender,"Sender 2",1000,(void *)200,1,NULL);
        xTaskCreate(vReceiver,"Receiver",1000,NULL,     2,NULL);
        
    }
    for(;;) vTaskDelay(pdMS_TO_TICKS(10));
}

This builds fine but when running the board keeps restarting with the following error.

Rebooting...

I have been playing with the printf statement before inside a task so I don't think that's the issue. I really can't quite tell what is wrong, found some posts about the same error in different contexts mentioning it could be related to a variable trying to access memory out of reach. Any kind of guidance will be much appreciated. Also if someone knows a book similar to "Mastering the FreeRTOS Real Time Kernel-A Hands On Tutorial Guide" focused specifically on ESP flavoured FreeRTOS it will be much welcome.

If anything, 1000 bytes of stack is way too little if you're using printf. Set that to like 8096 first, see if that solves your issue. For ESP-IDF specifics, we have a page that documents the differences with 'vanilla' FreeRTOS; if you read through that you probably will know enough to know which bits in the book still apply and which don't.

Thank you very much @ESP_Sprite! That actually worked perfectly.
ps: Thanks for the documentation as well!
