In IDF4.4 OTA nearly exactly the same as the advanced OTA example.

Noticed that sometimes the device hangs/crashes and even the WDT does not get involved reboot. But we see messages from wifi:

<---- HANGS HERE ---->

Other times, it just works and the code reaches esp_restart();

Other times, an actual SO is produced. This happens more if we increase the taskdelay.

It looks like the tiT task is the lwip TCPIP task with a default stack size of 2048. Not sure if this needs an increase, but not sure if that's the root cause of the crash.

Here's the code at the end of the OTA download. The rest of the process is the same as OTA advanced example. There are also other tasks in the application. But they do not use net_if/TCPIP.

Code: Select all

ota_finish_err = esp_https_ota_finish(https_ota_handle);
			if ((err == ESP_OK) && (ota_finish_err == ESP_OK)) {
				ESP_LOGI(TAG, "ESP_HTTPS_OTA upgrade successful. Rebooting ...");
				vTaskDelay(3000 / portTICK_PERIOD_MS);
				esp_restart();
			}

This was not happening prior to upgrade to 4.4 from 4.0.

Am I doing something wrong?

Update:

The hang and SO occurs when esp_restart() is executing.

I tried to follow the wifi API guide saying:

Wi-Fi Deinit Phase

s8.1: Call :cpp:func:`esp_wifi_disconnect()` to disconnect the Wi-Fi connectivity.
s8.2: Call :cpp:func:`esp_wifi_stop()` to stop the Wi-Fi driver.
s8.3: Call :cpp:func:`esp_wifi_deinit()` to unload the Wi-Fi driver.

It didn't immediately work. But it looks like if there is some delay between calls caused by the uart prints, everything goes smoothly from there.

Code: Select all

ESP_LOGI("FOTA", "wifi disc");
fflush(stdout);
esp_wifi_disconnect();
ESP_LOGI("FOTA", "wifi stop");
fflush(stdout);
esp_wifi_stop();
ESP_LOGI("FOTA", "wifi deinit");
fflush(stdout);
esp_wifi_deinit();
ESP_LOGI("DONE", "Rebooting");
fflush(stdout);
esp_restart();

results in consistent:

Code: Select all

I(113475) FOTA: wifi disc
