Call SPI into timer ISR

[AG1702]

I've got a problem similar to https://www.esp32.com/viewtopic.php?t=5240.

I need to send and receive information to an IC over SPI. This task has to be made with specific timing, hence I've got a time routine made with Timer 0 and interrupts.

The problem is when I write spi_device_transmit(spi, &t) (or something related to SPI) into the timer ISR function, the CPU crashes.

How can I solve this?

It is important to mention that I'm not using FreeRTOS and I'm not intended to use it. In the cited post there is a solution using FreeRTOS, but how can I solve this problem without FreeRTOS?

...You *are* using FreeRTOS. You may not be calling into any FreeRTOS functions yourself, but everything around it (the timer API, the SPI API, WiFi etc) is using FreeRTOS, so you're still bound to its limitations and need to find solutions in the feature it offers.

Thanks for the reply.

So what could be a possible solution, please. With example code would be great.

See the answer I gave in that topic: set a semaphore in your ISR, have a task running that waits for that semaphore to be set and runs the SPI transaction afterwards.

spi_device_handle_t spi; and spi_transaction_t t; should be declared as global in order to be used from all of the task?

That very much depends on what you're trying to code.
