Occasional crash writing to NVS
Posted: Sat Nov 03, 2018 4:56 pm
I'm finding my app occasionally rebooting while writing to NVS storage. The backtrace doesn't immediately reveal anything obvious that I'm doing wrong.
You have to read it from bottom to top. It looks like it's crashing while getting the current boot partition. I guess it's trying to make sure you don't write to the boot partition. If it's a stack overflow issue I usually see something that indicates that. Plus after 12 hours of run time the task calling the NVS write indicates a stack high water mark of 1K. And it writes this particular value (a float in string) to NVS every 10 minutes. I'm thinking of preventing the write if the value doesn't change much (it's the current temperature). But the counterpoint is if writing to NVS can occasionally crash the app I should investigate why.
Obviously I haven't given you any code to read. And I doubt it would help because it's a big application. But I'm throwing it out for ideas in case this rings a bell with anyone or they've seen the issue too. I'm not really confident that I haven't caused this somehow as it seems to just have popped up recently.
