ESP32-S3 crash with arduino-esp32 core 3.x.x #676

Laxilef · 2024-06-06T13:25:50Z

Hi
I'm using NimBLE-Arduino 1.4.1 with arduino-esp32 core 2.x.x and it works great, but now I'm trying to upgrade to arduino-esp32 core 3.x.x and when I call the NimBLEClient::connect() method I get a crash.
The error always looks like this:

Guru Meditation Error: Core 0 panic'ed (Unhandled debug exception).
Debug exception reason: Stack canary watchpoint triggered (ipc0)

I tried increasing the task stack to 50k, it doesn't help.
Platformio.ini config:

[esp32_defaults]
framework = arduino
platform = https://github.com/platformio/platform-espressif32.git
platform_packages =
  framework-arduinoespressif32 @ https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32.git#3.0.1
  framework-arduinoespressif32-libs @ https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/releases/download/3.0.1/esp32-arduino-libs-3.0.1.zip

This is very similar to #649. Does this mean that the library is currently not compatible with arduino-esp32 core 3.x.x?

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

Hello @Laxilef, thanks for opening this issue. Yes, the new arduino core has broken this library for now and I will fix this in the future. It will still work but it requires modifying your application to do the BLE related calls from a task running on the same core as the main NimBLE stack task like so:

void BLETask(void* param) {
  for(;;) {
    ..BLE STUFF GOES HERE..
    delay(1); // always delay in the loop to allow other tasks to run
  }
  vTaskDelete(NULL); // should never get here
}

void setup() {
  ...YOUR INIT CODE...
  xTaskCreatePinnedToCore(
     BLETask, /* Function to implement the task */
     "BLETask", /* Name of the task */
     4096, /* Stack size in bytes */
     NULL, /* Task input parameter */
     2, /* Priority of the task (set higher than loop) */
     nullptr, /* Task handle. */
     CONFIG_BT_NIMBLE_PINNED_TO_CORE); /* Core where main nimble task runs */
}

void loop() {
  delay(1);
}

Laxilef · 2024-06-06T19:33:15Z

Yeah, it works! Thanks @h2zero :)

p.s. did you find any other bugs with 3.x.x?

svdrummer · 2024-06-06T21:51:39Z

Unrelated, however, ESP-NOW had some breaking changes made. Espressif has noted them, but the Arduino wrapper team missed it.

h2zero · 2024-06-06T23:14:39Z

@Laxilef Im not aware of anything else, I just knew the build broke due to IPC changes.

I've pinned this for everyone to comment on their experience and to make the workaround visible.

ednieuw · 2024-06-10T17:03:26Z

I will wait for the fix and go back to esp32 Version 2.

h2zero · 2024-06-10T20:49:26Z

Please test #681 and let me know if it resolves this for you all.

Hougaard22 · 2024-06-10T21:07:57Z

Please test #681 and let me know if it resolves this for you all.

The change resolves the issue, I am now able to scan without getting the Core 0 panic'ed error 👍

@ednieuw Have you tested with the PR mentioned above ? #679

ednieuw · 2024-06-11T12:57:53Z

Probably not at first but now I downloaded NimBLE-Arduino-nimble-1.5.0.zip
With the ESP32-S3-Zero the program start and initializes the serial port, Preferences storage and Neopixels

I use BLE-UART from your examples I as remember well
will try the Arduino Nano ESP32 now workinf with esp32 2.0.13

You BLE-uart example also gives the same error as above and the Arduino Nano ESP32 does not initializes the BLE serial and simply stops without rebooting

ednieuw · 2024-06-11T13:41:25Z

BTW The Nano was also rebooting
FYI I used this piece of code (from the Espressif migration 2.x -> 3.x document) to make a library compatible for both esp32 versions

#ifdef ESP_ARDUINO_VERSION_MAJOR
            #if ESP_ARDUINO_VERSION >= ESP_ARDUINO_VERSION_VAL(3, 0, 0)
                                                  // Code for version 3.x

                   #else
                                                 // Code for version 2.x
                   #ifdef ESP32

                   #else

No. still rebooting
checked esp_nible_hci.c to be sure I had the right library version
Saw all the Github changes.
For example at line 75

/* Added; Called from the core NimBLE is running on, not used for unicore */
#ifndef CONFIG_FREERTOS_UNICORE
void ble_hci_trans_hs_cmd_tx_on_core(void *arg)

If you still have this:

/* Added; Called from the core NimBLE is running on, not used for unicore */
#ifndef CONFIG_FREERTOS_UNICORE
void ble_hci_trans_hs_cmd_tx_on_core(void *arg)
{

    esp_vhci_host_send_packet((uint8_t*)arg, *((uint8_t*)arg + 3) + 1 + BLE_HCI_CMD_HDR_LEN);

#endif

in esp_nible_hci.c then you do not have the PR branch as that is what gets removed there.

Tested on esp32 s3, core 3.0.1, esp-idf v5.1.4, works great

Thanks for the link Laxilef! I still can not find it in Github but with your link I got success
The code works on ESP32 S3 with core 3.0.1

But now an error with esp32 core 2.0.13 compiling for Arduino Nano ESP32
Would be nice if it work on both versions.

@ednieuw have you set CONFIG_BT_NIMBLE_ROLE_BROADCASTER_DISABLED to 1 somewhere?

Please try one of the server examples with default config and let me know if you have this error.

No. Did not changed anything. Used this library version
https://github.com/h2zero/NimBLE-Arduino/archive/refs/heads/remove-ipc.zip
If there is another version to test give me the link.

if you like it I can change esp_nible_hci.c with the #if ESP_ARDUINO_VERSION >= ESP_ARDUINO_VERSION_VAL(3, 0, 0) compile options mentioned before
and test it with the different esp32 core versions and mcu’s
It is patch work but seems a safe change. If it works (-:

h2zero · 2024-06-13T14:07:32Z

@ednieuw I'm not able to reproduce this issue, there must be something in your environment causing this.

ednieuw · 2024-06-13T14:21:31Z

It could be a cache problem. I suspect the arduino IDE2 is not clearing it completely when switching boards
I combined the two versions and separated them with the #ifdefs. That did not work. I had to leave home but will try tomorrow to clear the cache when switching between the two core versions.
I will update you about the result

h2zero · 2024-06-13T15:45:48Z

That sounds likely, please let me know. I recommend switching to PlatformIO in vscode as it makes this sort of thing much easier to manage.

ednieuw · 2024-06-13T18:13:45Z

Succes. Both ESP32 version V2.0 and v3.0 work now. I tried the ESP32-S3 with V3.0.1 and the Arduino Nano ESP32 with the Arduino version V2.0 13.
I will give platformIO a new try. I was not very happy with it a few years ago.
Thanks for your support
