Hi,

I am following setup.
Device: ESP32-WROVER-E 16 MB
ESP-IDF: v5.1.1

We have encountered an device crash and below is the log for the same.
Guru Meditation Error: Core 1 panic'ed (StoreProhibited). Exception was unhandled.

The issue is that in or around line 445 in iot_light_fade_with_time(...) in iot_light.c a write to memory address 0x34 was executed, likely because a nullpointer (to a structure or array) was dereferenced.

Don't get thrown off by

Code: Select all

... LBEG : 0x400029ac LEND : 0x400029cb ...
0x400029ac: __divdf3 in ROM
0x400029cb: __divdf3 in ROM
This is just the idf monitor mapping whatever addresses were last put into in the LBEG and LEND registers to code locations. In this specific case, a ROM function for double-precision floating point division happened to be the last one to use a LOOP instruction (setting LBEG and LEND) at some arbitrary time prior to the crash; memcpy is another ROM function which uses LOOP, and because it's used frequently in many programs you'll often find "memcpy in ROM" decoded from LBEG/LEND at this place without it having any connection to the actual cause of the exception.
