esp_http_client_init returns a LoadProhibited exception

[thoraz]

I'm adding to a project (Arduino framework in PlatformIO) the HTTPS OTA feature. I started from https://github.com/lucadentella/esp32-t ... ain/main.c to understand how to move my first steps. But now I have a problem with the call of esp_http_client_init in my update function

Code: Select all

static esp_err_t Http_Event_Handler( esp_http_client_event_t *evt )
{
	switch ( evt->event_id )
	{
        case HTTP_EVENT_ERROR:
		{
			break;
		}
            
        case HTTP_EVENT_ON_CONNECTED:
		{
			break;
		}
            
        case HTTP_EVENT_HEADER_SENT:
		{
			break;
		}
            
        case HTTP_EVENT_ON_HEADER:
		{
			break;
		}
            
        case HTTP_EVENT_ON_DATA:
		{
			if ( !esp_http_client_is_chunked_response( evt->client ) )
			{
				strncpy( httpReceiveBuffer, ( char* )evt->data, evt->data_len );
            }

            break;
		}
            
        case HTTP_EVENT_ON_FINISH:
		{
			break;
		}
            
        case HTTP_EVENT_DISCONNECTED:
		{
			break;
		}            
    }

    return ESP_OK;
}


boolean Check_Firmware_Upgrade( void )
{
	ESP_LOGI( LOG_TAG_MAIN, "Looking for a new firmware..." );

	esp_http_client_config_t config;
	esp_http_client_handle_t client;

	config.url = "https://mysite.org/ota/firmware.json";
	config.event_handler = Http_Event_Handler;
	client = esp_http_client_init( &config );
	
	[...]
	
	return true;
}

If I run the application the ESP returns a Guru Meditation Error:

[main.cpp:358] Check_Firmware_Upgrade(): Looking for a new firmware...

Rebooting...

I tryed to keep in the Check_Firmware_Upgrade function only the esp_http_client_init and the error still, if I remove it the error disappears.

What am I doing wrong? Any suggestion?

Can you decode that backtrace?

Can you decode that backtrace?

How can I decode the backtrace? Is there a tool or somewhat? I'm using VS Code with PlatformIO and a general serial terminal to read the output.

Seems platformio decodes it automatically if you use its own terminal rather than an external one (though you may need to configure it to decode the backtraces first)

Thanks for the suggestion, very usefull. Now I've changed my code to work around the issue. Next time I'll try with the decoder to find the solution.

I have the same problem. Has the landlord solved it? Can you share your experience?
