esp_partition_read causes exception

[isakua]

I'm writing flash memory access code and having a problem with esp_partition_read API.
When I run the following code, I get an exception at esp_partition_read but not all the time. Sometime it works and sometimes it won't. Can someone advise me the reason and fix please?

Code:

Code: Select all

#include <Arduino.h>
#include "esp_spi_flash.h"
#include "esp_partition.H"

static esp_partition_t *epp;

void setup()
{
	int i, s;
	char buf[4096];

	Serial.begin(115200);

	Serial.println("FLASH FILE SYSTEM TEST");
	epp = (esp_partition_t *)esp_partition_find_first(ESP_PARTITION_TYPE_DATA, ESP_PARTITION_SUBTYPE_DATA_SPIFFS, NULL);
	if (!epp) {
		Serial.println("Can't find spiffs partition");
		while (1);
	}
	Serial.printf("DATA Subtype=%d add=%x size=%x lbl=%s enc=%d\n", epp->subtype, epp->address, epp->size, epp->label, epp->encrypted);

	Serial.println("Write one sector");
	for (i = 0; i < sizeof(buf); i++) {
		buf[i] = 0x55;
	}
	if (esp_partition_write(epp, 0, buf, sizeof(buf))) {
		Serial.println("Write Error");
	}
	else {
		Serial.println("Write OK");
	}

	Serial.println("Reading from flash...");
	for (i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
		if (esp_partition_read(epp, i * 4096 , buf, sizeof(buf))) {
			Serial.println("flash read error");
		}
		else {
			for (s = 0; s < 10; s++) {
				Serial.printf("%x ", buf[s]);
			}
			Serial.println();
		}
	}
}

void loop()
{
	Serial.println("hello");
	delay(9000);
}

Run the above code, and get the following error from time to time.

Code: Select all

FLASH FILE SYSTEM TEST

I modified partition like this:

Code: Select all

APP Subtype=0 add=0x10000 size=0x100000 lbl=factory enc=0
DAT Subtype=130 add=0x110000 size=0x200000 lbl=spiffs enc=0
DAT Subtype=1 add=0xf000 size=0x1000 lbl=phy_init enc=0
DAT Subtype=2 add=0x9000 size=0x6000 lbl=nvs enc=0

This feels a bit like a bug which was resolved in esp-idf recently. I see me-no-dev updated the Arduino support to use the latest IDF yesterday, what version do you have?
