CoreDump not providing enough info

[Ian777]

hey everyone,

For some reason the coredump utility is providing me with nearly no info.

It either just says that a brownout procured or that it couldn't access some memory region or some other random info.

I had a look at kolbans book and in it he gets the exact line at which the error occured.

I cloned the esp-idf template and made the following changes to menuconfig:

component config ->ESP32-specific -> panic handler behaviour - > Print registers and halt
and component config->coredump -> Data destination: UART, Maximum number of tasks:64, delay before print to uart: 0:

After this I added this line to the code:
memcpy((void*)0x2000000, "VOPS", 4);


And it generates the following current thread stack:

==================== CURRENT THREAD STACK =====================
#0 esp_ipc_call_and_wait (cpu_id=33554432, func=0x1, arg=0x1, wait_for=IPC_WAIT_FOR_END) at /home/user/esp/esp-idf/components/esp32/ipc.c:107
#1 0x400d0e6d in _stext ()
#2 0x4008ded4 in rtc_clk_slow_freq_set (slow_freq=(unknown: 1074597384)) at /home/user/esp/esp-idf/components/soc/esp32/rtc_clk.c:251

The command I run to produce this is :

python ~/Desktop/esp32/esp-idf/components/espcoredump/espcoredump.py info_corefile -d 3 -t b64 -c ~/Desktop/dump.txt ~/Desktop/esp-idf-template/build/app-template.elf


I've tried a lot of variants of producing core dumps and each provides nearly no info in where the error exactly occurred.

Does anyone know what I might be doing incorrectly?

Any help will really be appreciated as debugging coredumps at this point has been very difficult

Hi,

Did you try with add2line utility which is part of toolchain binary?

We are using that utility and we are getting flow of crash dump with details.

Hi Ritesh Prajapati!
Thank you so much for the reply.

I see that make monitor runs this command and I have tried to manually run it on my build/file.elf, but sadly I think I don't quite understand how to go about this.

Would you mind providing me with some more info or an example?

Thanks in advance for any help!

I really appreciate it

EDIT: If I understand it correctly, the command would look like this:

xtensa-esp32-elf-addr2line -pfiaC -e ~/Desktop/esp-idf-template/build/app-template.elf 0x400014fd:0x3ffbb5f0 0x400d543d:0x3ffbb600 0x400d54d5:0x3ffbb640 0x4 00d40a8:0x3ffbb660 0x400d2e36:0x3ffbb760 0x400d0db2:0x3ffbb900 0x4008da85:0x3ffb


where I provide the project's build elf file followed by the backtrace produced from the panic?

Yes.

Command which you have used is correct.

So, Would you please send me oitput of that command which you have executes on your elf file to get crash analysis?
