ESP32 2Tasks on 2 Cores - Board reset

[Rajkiran]

/* Below is the code for the 2 tasks which will run on different core viz Core 1 and 2.
The Tasks would be triggered in the "Key press interrupt". I see that Tasks start but board
get reboot immediately.
Can anyone guide me here *

Hard to say. Can you use e.g. addr2line to decode that backtrace?

[boarchuz]

It looks like you're checking if 'taskYieldRequired' but not actually yielding.

Code: Select all

if(taskYieldRequired == pdTRUE)
{
  taskYIELD();
}

Your issue could be one of two tasks Task2 or loop(). loop() runs on core 1 and, using freeRTOS loop should look like this :

Code: Select all

void loop() 

Also, the default priority of loop() is 1,assign your taskings to something higher than 1; like 3. And, please, use code tags.

Also, your tasks exit. Once they have run once they are then cleaned up by loop() and no longer in effect. You'll need to recreate them or not have them exit. Look into events.

[idahowalker]

An example of a round robin:

Code: Select all

#include "freertos/event_groups.h"

/* define event bits */
#define TASK_1_BIT        ( 1 << 0 ) //1
#define TASK_2_BIT        ( 1 << 1 ) //10
#define TASK_3_BIT        ( 1 << 2 ) //100
#define ALL_SYNC_BITS     (TASK_1_BIT | TASK_2_BIT | TASK_3_BIT) //111

/* create event group */
EventGroupHandle_t eg;

void setup() {

  Serial.begin(112500);
  eg = xEventGroupCreate();
  
  xTaskCreate(
      task1,           /* Task function. */
      "task1",        /* name of task. */
      10000,                    /* Stack size of task */
      NULL,                     /* parameter of the task */
      3,                        /* priority of the task */
      NULL);                    /* Task handle to keep track of created task */
  xTaskCreate(
      task2,           /* Task function. */
      "task2",        /* name of task. */
      10000,                    /* Stack size of task */
      NULL,                     /* parameter of the task */
      1,                        /* priority of the task */
      NULL);                    /* Task handle to keep track of created task */
  xTaskCreate(
      task3,           /* Task function. */
      "task3",        /* name of task. */
      10000,                    /* Stack size of task */
      NULL,                     /* parameter of the task */
      1,                        /* priority of the task */
      NULL);                    /* Task handle to keep track of created task */
}

void loop() {

}

void task1( void * parameter )
{
  for(;;){
    Serial.println("task1 done");
    /* task 2 finishes printing so set its event bit and wait until other tasks finish */
    EventBits_t uxBits = xEventGroupSync(eg, TASK_1_BIT, ALL_SYNC_BITS, portMAX_DELAY );
    /* if other tasks finished then all event bits would be set*/
    if( ( uxBits & ALL_SYNC_BITS ) == ALL_SYNC_BITS ){
        Serial.println("task 1 - all task done !!!");
    }
  }
  vTaskDelete( NULL );
}
/* this task is similar to sendTask1 */
void task2( void * parameter )
{

  for(;;){
    Serial.println("task2 done");
    /* task 2 finishes printing so set its event bit */
    EventBits_t uxBits = xEventGroupSync( eg, TASK_2_BIT, ALL_SYNC_BITS, portMAX_DELAY );

and here is a task using a delay:

Code: Select all

#include "freertos/FreeRTOS.h"
#include "freertos/task.h"
#include "freertos/timers.h"
#include "freertos/event_groups.h"

#define ESP32_WROVER_LED1 27 // LED D4
#define ESP32_WROVER_LED2 0 // LED D3
#define ESP32_LED 2
#define TaskStack10K 10000
#define TaskCore1 1
#define TaskCore0 0
#define Priority2 2
#define Priority3 3
#define Priority4 4
#define TestPin 4
#define OneK 1000




void setup() 
{
  Serial.begin(115200);
pinMode (ESP32_LED, OUTPUT);
pinMode ( TestPin, OUTPUT);
 xTaskCreatePinnedToCore( fBlinkBuiltIn, "fBlinkBuiltIn", TaskStack10K, NULL, Priority2, NULL, TaskCore1 ); //assigned to core 1
 
}
void loop() {}

void fBlinkBuiltIn( void* pvParameters )
{
  // toggle built in LED off/on
  for (;;)
  {
    vTaskDelay( pdMS_TO_TICKS( 10 ) );
    REG_WRITE( GPIO_OUT_W1TC_REG, BIT2 ); // GPIO2 LOW (clear)
    vTaskDelay( pdMS_TO_TICKS( OneK ) );
    REG_WRITE( GPIO_OUT_W1TS_REG, BIT2 ); //GPIO2 HIGH (set)
  }
  vTaskDelete( NULL );
}
