Hi anandvilayil,

Can you post a snippet of the code you are calling to read from flash, at the time this crash occurs?

hi angus,

its happening at the time of writing into flash.
below show the portion of code.

note : at the time of function call i providing the key, data to write, and length is giving

Code: Select all

int nvswrite_byte_array(const char *key_prfx, uint8_t *array, int len)
{
    int r, j;
    nvs_handle hdl;
    esp_err_t err;
    char key[32];

    if (!key_prfx || !array || len <= 0) {
        ESP_LOGE(TAG, "%s: invalid inputs", __func__);
        return -1;
    }

    err = nvs_flash_init();
    if (err == ESP_ERR_NVS_NO_FREE_PAGES) {
        ESP_LOGE(TAG, "storage nvs wr: nvs_no_free_pages error");
        return -1;
    }
    r = -1;
    err = nvs_open("storage", NVS_READWRITE, &hdl);
    if (err != ESP_OK) {
        ESP_LOGE(TAG, "error (%d) opening NVS handle", err);
        return -1;
    }
    for (j = 0; j < len; j++) {
        snprintf(key, sizeof(key), "%s%d", key_prfx, j);
        ESP_LOGI(TAG, "writing [%s = %x] to storage nvs", key, array[j]);
        err = nvs_set_u8(hdl, key, array[j]);
        if (err != ESP_OK) {
            ESP_LOGI(TAG, "failed to update key");
            r = -1;
            break;
        } else {
            r = 0;
        }
    }

    if (r == 0) {
        err = nvs_commit(hdl);
        if (err != ESP_OK) {
            ESP_LOGI(TAG, "failed to commit nvs");
            r = -1;
        }
    }

    if (hdl) {
        nvs_close(hdl);
    }

    return r;
}

the problem is only once in a while its happening, not every time its happens,

ESP_Sprite, your diagnosis is scaringly spot on. I use SPI to stream data into a shift register, then latch that data in an SPI callback

Now with regard to the remedy.

In sdkconfig I found:

Code: Select all

#
# SPI master configuration
#
CONFIG_SPI_MASTER_IN_IRAM=
CONFIG_SPI_MASTER_ISR_IN_IRAM=y

I suppose the CONFIG_SPI_MASTER_ISR_IN_IRAM is the culprit. But I can't seem to find the menuconfig entry that modifies this setting. I find myself scanning options a lot.

I implemented the preferred remedy:

Code: Select all

//from #include "soc.h"
#define DR_REG_GPIO_BASE            0x3ff44000
//from #include "gpio_reg.h"
#define GPIO_OUT_W1TS_REG           (DR_REG_GPIO_BASE + 0x0008)
#define GPIO_OUT_W1TC_REG          (DR_REG_GPIO_BASE + 0x000c)

...

    // latch the data
    REG_WRITE(GPIO_OUT_W1TS_REG, BIT(GPIO_NUM_16));     // set
    delay_us(2);
    REG_WRITE(GPIO_OUT_W1TC_REG, BIT(GPIO_NUM_16));     // clear

I extracted the #defines from the mentioned #includes, because I have manually configured include paths (I have yet to encounter someone who has seen a properly configured Eclipse workspace). So as usual things didn't work (or maybe it was just the Eclipse side of this mess), even after adding 3 search paths (${IDF_PATH}/components/soc/include/soc, ${IDF_PATH}/components/soc/include, ${IDF_PATH}/components/soc/esp32/include/soc). Madness.

So now the above code runs, I'll report back when the errors reappear. Excellent work ESP_Sprite!

hi,
I'm unable to find

Code: Select all

# SPI master configuration
#
CONFIG_SPI_MASTER_IN_IRAM=
CONFIG_SPI_MASTER_ISR_IN_IRAM=y

in my sdk. my IDF version is 5.2

[rudi ;-)]

hi,
I'm unable to find

Code: Select all

# SPI master configuration
#
CONFIG_SPI_MASTER_IN_IRAM=
CONFIG_SPI_MASTER_ISR_IN_IRAM=y

in my sdk. my IDF version is 5.2

which idf version you use? 5.2. is the toolchain version
you find the used IDF Version if you run example the hello_world with your IDF Version,
on the bootloader start comes the used IDF version as LOGI.

The version is also compiled into the firmware and can be accessed (as a string) via the macro IDF_VER.
The default ESP-IDF bootloader will print the version on boot (these versions in code will not always update, it only changes if
that particular source file is recompiled)

also:
The local ESP-IDF version can be checked using git:

Code: Select all

cd $IDF_PATH
git describe --tags --dirty

for more info you find things about "ESP-IDF Versions" in the IDF Document here example in the latest under point

Checking IDF Version

hi,
I'm unable to find

Code: Select all

# SPI master configuration

the CONFIG_ code is done by the Menuconfig automatically which you run at first to config the project by settings
like serial flasher , components and so on, also for specific custom things like the SPI Driver ect.
the header file is then save in the build folder under include, do not change this by hand - it is an automatically doing by Menuconfig.

you should find the SPI master configuration in menuconfig or not?
call menuconfig in your project,
go to
- Component Config
then
-Driver Configuration
then
- SPI Configuration

hope this helps now.

hi,
sorry that was a toolchain version.
my menuconfig is different, those options are not showing. please check menuconfig screenshot.

[rudi ;-)]

hi,
sorry that was a toolchain version.

hi
no problem,
but what is your IDF Version

my menuconfig is different, those options are not showing. please check menuconfig screenshot.

i see your screenshoot, but i think you must say , which IDF version you use
that you can get help on your problem
txs

[ningappa BS]

my esp-idf version is "v3.1-dev-1334-g7cc7c8a-dirty"
could you help me on this.
