nvs_set_str() causes exception resulting in reboot

[raadiy@yahoo.com]

Hi, I find that writing to NVS the first time, is successfull, using nvs_set_str(), but a later update of the the value causes an exception. I saw few other posts on this subject, but did not find a way out of this issue. Is this a known issue? Does any one else have the same issue?

Here is the exception and code snippet:

Hi,

esp32 nvs expects string to be zero terminated. add the last character to the string to '\0' like value[lengthofvalue] = '\0';and then call nvs_set_str();

Ps: erase the nvs before starting with above changes

Hope it helps.

Hi Krishnateja,

The strings I use are null terminated. I upgraded to a new version of ESP-IDF and it resolved the problem.

Thanks
