ESP32 Forum

Hello,
I have a code, that regularly (every 5ms) calls a function from loop(), that decodes incoming serial protocols from SerialBT. Before reading the buffer it is checked by SerialBT.available() to go on with reading and decoding state machine.

The ESP32 WROOM-32E throws:
Guru Meditation Error: Core 1 panic'ed (LoadStoreAlignment). Exception was unhandled.

The exception decoder outputs the following:

The exceptions are different, sometimes LoadStoreAlignment, sometimes LoadProhibited, sometimes abort() called.

Generally the firmware does what it should do but it crashes after unpredictable times. I cannot isolate the condition when it throws. Sometimes is runs for several minutes up to hours without exception. After another start it crashes after 2 minutes.
All exception decoding points to the SerialBT.available(). Occurs with and without active Bluetooth connection.

Code is made with VisualStudioCode, PlatformIO, Arduino framework.

Would be really glad if somebody could help.
Thanks

Another exception decoding, this time "StoreProhibited"

Same as above. It has to do with the uxQueueMessagesWaiting in BluetoothSerial.available().

Tried to remove this function call and used BluetoothSerial.read instead, with -1 as break condition, same result.
Help appeciated....
