ESP32 resets while deleting task from another task

[burkulesomesh43]

Hi all,
I want to delete the tasks from other task.(eg. task A and task B can be delete in task C).I am trying to delete this tasks using task handlers. but as I delete it, esp32 is reseting..

Can you post command, how you delete it? I am suspecting you may pass pointer but vTaskDelete parameter is handle variable:

I am trying like this->>

Code: Select all

TaskHandle_t vTaskCodeHandle= NULL;
TaskHandle_t vOtherFunctionHandle= NULL;

void vOtherFunction( void )
 {

     // Use the handle to delete the task.
     if( vTaskCodeHandle!= NULL )
     {
         vTaskDelete( vTaskCodeHandle);
     }
 }

void vTaskCode( void )
 {

while(1){

ESP_LOGI("TEST","DEBUG");

}
   
 }

void app_main(void)
{
xTaskCreate( vTaskCode, "NAME", 2048, NULL, 1, &vTaskCodeHandle);
xTaskCreate( vOtherFunction, "name", 2048, NULL, 1, &vOtherFunctionHandle);
}

The vOtherFunction task quits without vTaskDelete. Use while or for loop in it or delete on exit.

It is probably better to use task notifications to request the specific task termination from another task.

tried within while loop but also resets esp32

This is what i meant:

Code: Select all

void vOtherFunction( void )
 {

     // Use the handle to delete the task.
     if( vTaskCodeHandle!= NULL )
     {
         vTaskDelete( vTaskCodeHandle);
     }
     for(;;){  // <-- infinite loop to not allow task exit
     }
     // OR
     while(1){}
     // OR
     vTaskDelete(NULL); // destroy this task (vOtherFunction)
 }

PS Its weird that compiler allows you have task function with void type parameter, because task should have void* parameter.

Not working. esp32 resets..
gives error-> store prohibited

Hello there. I've been studying esp-idf FreeRTOS recently. You can read this in order to get an answer.

Hi,

Would you please provide you crash logs for same? Also would you please try it by adding few delays between creating both tasks?

Because, we are also deleting tasks from other tasks into our application without any issue.
