xTimerResetFromISR Exception

Postby papillon » Fri Mar 03, 2017 11:00 pm

I am trying to reset a timer from within an ISR. The HW_IsrHandler is called when a button is pressed on pin 14, but resetting the timer generates a StoreProhibited exception at xTimerResetFromISR.

Code: Select all

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include "freertos/FreeRTOS.h"
#include "freertos/task.h"
#include "esp_system.h"
#include "driver/timer.h"
#include "freertos/timers.h"

TimerHandle_t timer=NULL;

void HW_IsrHandler(void* arg)
{
	gpio_num_t pin = (gpio_num_t) arg;
	if(gpio_get_level(pin)==0) {
		xTimerResetFromISR(timer, 1000 / portTICK_RATE_MS);
	}
}

void timerCallback(TimerHandle_t id) {
}

void app_main()
{
	uint8_t pin=14;
	timer=xTimerCreate("timer Callback", 1000 / portTICK_RATE_MS, pdFALSE, (void *)0, timerCallback);

	gpio_install_isr_service(0 );

	gpio_config_t io_conf;

	io_conf.pull_down_en = 0;
	io_conf.pull_up_en = 1;
	io_conf.intr_type = GPIO_INTR_ANYEDGE;
	io_conf.pin_bit_mask = (1<<pin);
	io_conf.mode = GPIO_MODE_INPUT;
	gpio_config(&io_conf);

	gpio_isr_handler_add(pin, HW_IsrHandler, (void*) &pin);
}
Any idea what could be causing this?
Thanks for your input!

The issue is that the ESP32 API differs from the FreeRTOS API. The FreeRTOS API has the following function:

Code: Select all

BaseType_t xTimerResetFromISR( TimerHandle_t xTimer, TickType_t xTicksToWait );
While the IDF has this one:

Code: Select all

BaseType_t xTimerResetFromISR( TimerHandle_t xTimer, BaseType_t *pxHigherPriorityTaskWoken );
The 2nd parameter is used for a different purpose. The compiler does not complain since the footprint is similar, but, obviously, execution causes an exception, because the parameter is used to return a status code.

Note that the xTimerReset function does not have the same issue, since both the IDF and the FreeRTOS version share the same declaration:

Code: Select all

BaseType_t xTimerReset( TimerHandle_t xTimer, TickType_t xTicksToWait );

I'm not sure I'm following .... if we look here ...

http://www.freertos.org/FreeRTOS-timers ... omISR.html

It appears that the FreeRTOS API for xTimerResetFromISR is:

Code: Select all

 BaseType_t xTimerResetFromISR(TimerHandle_t xTimer, BaseType_t *pxHigherPriorityTaskWoken);
which is distinct from:

Code: Select all

BaseType_t xTimerResetFromISR( TimerHandle_t xTimer, TickType_t xTicksToWait );

Indeed rather confusing.
It turns out that the latest version of the FreeRTOS manual I was using (available at http://www.freertos.org/Documentation/1 ... _Guide.pdf) only covers up to version 8 of the RTOS, whereas the IDF is based on version 9. And the software timer reset function was indeed changed in version 9, hence the confusion.

IDF uses freertos 8.2.0. You're never going to use xTicksToWait in a FromISR function. It was probably just a brain fart, we all do it.
