ESP32 LoRa (v2) rebooting hard 0.0.4

#1

Hello people!

Recently I´m updated the hardware version and I had a surprise… The firmware I have made with hard ver 0.0.2-rc1 no longer work. Apparently ESP32 rebooting when I tried to send a string by LoRa.

Executing a downgrade again the firmware back to work.

I´m new in Arduino program and I have no idea what hapens…

See the debug below::

you can see OLED printed OLED initial done!
LoRa Initial success!

Rebooting…

#2

Can you please upload your example code here? I want test at my side.

#3

Hello Friend,

See below. I think is a problem with simple solution but as I said I´m noob and I don´t know what happen…

That is terrible to read.
Please format your source code

#5

Hi friend,

So sorry for this. I don´t know how can I format it to help you but see the link below.

Maybe it can help you.

File.c

#6

Hi friend,

How are you?

Did you see the file I sent? Were you able to run this firmware? There’s something new about that.

Regards,

the problem started with your latest release 0.5 it was working fine with me a week back… i was able to use duplex communication from 2 ESP 32 Lora boards ( not V2) but then i had to change my machine and reuinstall the library … now since then it is not working. i tried downgrading the hardware version ( since i dont remember when i last installed this library) but this problem is not going away… even the example code is for multiple duplex communication with interrupt is
not working.

#8

From what i have gathered from the posts is that people have recently started sharing the same error ( Guru Meditation Error) this is arising every time a person uses anything with interrupt ( hardware interrupt) Esressif forum indicates that this error arises when stack invades heap. or simply when IRQ is long that it gets inside some other function defined at some other location.
I hope this will help you check the difference in the previous and latest versions… because previous versions used to run but new versions are creating problem

#9

But compare with V0.0.5 and V0.0.4, the V0.0.5 version only added LoRaWAN parameters option to the Tools menu, fixed nothing about the source code.

Did you choose a correct board on the menu? WiFi LoRa 32 V1 and V2 have a different FLASH size and partition map, incorrect board type will case system reboot.

#10

Yes I did checked the board… It’s working fine for me now, since I have downgraded to version 0.0.1 and what I have gathered from the first comment in this thread his code is running for version 0.0.2 as well… I check it for version 0.0.4 also, but it didn’t work… You are right in saying that it can be board related issue, but on the other hand the problem is with the ISR only…
You can try running your example code of multiple lora communication with interrupt… The same is also not working for version 0.0.5 or even 0.0.4
Though I haven’t checked it for 0.0.2 myself so i won’t comment on that…

I am no expert in programming I am only telling you what I have experienced from my permutations and combinations…

Hi @anshul_sharma

I tested with 4 WiFi LoRa 32(V2) and a WiFi LoRa 32 (V1), both of they are working well here.

Make sure the board type must select correct in the menu:

#12

Did you used version 0. 0.5 or 0.0.4!!!

#13

Also suggest if we should install the heltec 32 board through git Or using board manager… What do you suggest!!!

#14

V0.0.5

Git and board manager have a same code version now.
