app_main not starting

Postby gouragoura » Sun Apr 09, 2017 6:43 am

I'm having trouble with esp-idf.

After I updated esp-idf, possibly that caused my esp32 not to enter app_main, and it's now in a reboot loop.
  • First I thought it's my app's problem, so I tried flashing https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf-template, as well as trying other projects, but it was the same.
  • Next I thought it's my board or power source problem, so I tried with another devboard, which is powered by a different power source, but it was the same.
  • Then I thought maybe my esp-idf is corrupted, so I deleted the esp-idf and started over with a fresh esp-idf, by git cloning esp-idf (with --recursive), but it didn't solve the problem.
  • Since I've been developing an OTA app, I thought the partition table might be the problem, so I tried erase_flash, re-flashing the partition table, but haven't found any cure yet.
My bad, I'm not sure when and what caused this problem. I was regularly developing and flashing my firm at last until few days ago.
I'm developing on Mac OS X and flashing with make flash (esptool.py).

Is there anyone facing this problem, or is it just me? I appreciate your help.

Thank you.

Do you have single core mode enabled in menuconfig? If so, this looks like this issue:

I was having the single core enabled, and I confirmed that the patch solves the problem.
Thanks ESP_igrr :)
