ESP32 reboots every seconds with 1.43 CAN BLE

Post by FrankM »

Hello,

I tried my program used for solar thermie because of its bigger memory on an ESP32, flashed it with the actual annex bin and put my program as well as the associated files on it.
Then the program worked for a minute or so and after that it began to boot always.
In the serial monitor I found the following message:

Guru Meditation Error: Core 1 panic'ed (IllegalInstruction). Exception was unhandled.
Core 1 register dump:

The Annex toolkit shows the following device informations:

Has anybody an idea, what to do?

Thank you

Hello Frank,

can you give more information about your hardware/ module and your GPIO wiring?

I'm thinking of problems I've had with different schematics:
Have you selected the appropriate firmware settings for your hardware on the Config page? Meanwhile there are different esp32 modules which can be selected from a list.

Is the same behavior observed when no peripheral is connected to the IO pins?
There are some ESP32 pins that have special functions at startup and can be pulled up or down by your peripherals while the system is booting.

Hello PeterN,

thank you for your reply:

the board is a ESP-WROOM32, bought from az-delivery some month ago.
The TFT (160*128, 1,77'' - also from az-delivery) is connected as it is described in the Annex help version 1.43 for ST7735, in the config page I have tried the number #2 as best.
Other GPIO's than for the TFT are not connected.
The board is connected by USB to my PC - otherwise I wouldn't have seen the messages of the serial monitor.

After I have seen the errors with re-booting every some minutes, I flashed the whole module again, but this gave no other behavior.

So, perhaps the module may be of minor quality, but other example programs did not have this behavior.

Thank you for further ideas!

Frank Martens

Hi,
Perhaps be best to fix your network configuration before looking for other problems.
Specifying a logon name and password means you wish the node to connect to a router and join the routers subnet.
Which means the default gateway will be the address of the router where all your messages will go for routing onwards.
If you wish to specify a local IP address (rather than obtain a dhcp address from the router), it must be a valid unused IP address on the routers subnet, and you must also specify the subnet mask (usually 255.255.255.0).
Importantly, the default gateway is the routers address, so you cannot specify that also as the local IP address, else the local node will try to speak to itself and be unable to connect to the router to send or receive anything
If 192.168.44.1 is your valid default gateway router, specify something different as a local node IP address.
And if 192.168.44.1 is not also a valid NTP server it will probably add to the confusion.

Hi Frank.
As well as what Peter and Electroguard advise, try running the board from a decent USB phone charger or other 5V source using a different USB lead and see if the resets still occur. I've occasionally had problems which could be put down to power supply niggles.

Good morning

Seeing your screenshots now I agree with electroguard that the manually set network configuration is most likely the reason for the confusion.
This creates some interesting loops and will definitely cause at least one problem if the system regularly tries to synchronize the time
Assuming that you are in a standard WIFi leave IP-Adress, default-gateway and NTP-server empty

Good luck!

Hi Franck,
the problem is probably inside your program, I mean that there is a bug inside a command / function that crashes your program.

I suggest to update the ESP32 at the latest annex32 version (1.43.5) and test again/
