FreeRTOS task and Queue are not working together

Postby lalitahuja33 » Sat Oct 31, 2020 9:59 am

I'm trying to implement esp-now in my existing code which has FreeRTOS tasks and what I have observed that the Receive function of esp-now doesn't work when other RTOS tasks are there in the app_main but when I comment those RTOS tasks the Receive function works.

code that works

Code: Select all

    s_recv_queue = xQueueCreate(10, sizeof(recv_packet_t));
    assert(s_recv_queue);
    BaseType_t err = xTaskCreatePinnedToCore(queue_process_task, "recv_task", 8192, NULL, 6, NULL,1);
    assert(err == pdPASS);
    s_evt_group = xEventGroupCreate();
    assert(s_evt_group);

    init_espnow_master();
    send_espnow_data();

//    vTaskDelay(200);
//	xTaskCreatePinnedToCore(rtcc_task,"RTCC_TASK",4096,NULL,3,&RTCCHandle,1);
//	vTaskDelay(200);
//	xTaskCreatePinnedToCore(wifi_task,"WiFi_TASK",8192,NULL,5,&WIFIHandle,0);
//	vTaskDelay(200);
//	xTaskCreatePinnedToCore(ledc_task,"P10_TASK",8192,NULL,5,&LEDCHandle,1);
//	vTaskDelay(200);
//	xTaskCreatePinnedToCore(r485_task,"RS485_TASK",4096,NULL,6,&R485Handle,1);
code that doesn't work

Code: Select all

    s_recv_queue = xQueueCreate(10, sizeof(recv_packet_t));
    assert(s_recv_queue);
    BaseType_t err = xTaskCreatePinnedToCore(queue_process_task, "recv_task", 8192, NULL, 6, NULL,1);
    assert(err == pdPASS);
    s_evt_group = xEventGroupCreate();
    assert(s_evt_group);

    init_espnow_master();
    send_espnow_data();
    
       vTaskDelay(200);
	xTaskCreatePinnedToCore(rtcc_task,"RTCC_TASK",4096,NULL,3,&RTCCHandle,1);
	vTaskDelay(200);
	xTaskCreatePinnedToCore(wifi_task,"WiFi_TASK",8192,NULL,5,&WIFIHandle,0);
	vTaskDelay(200);
	xTaskCreatePinnedToCore(ledc_task,"P10_TASK",8192,NULL,5,&LEDCHandle,1);
	vTaskDelay(200);
	xTaskCreatePinnedToCore(r485_task,"RS485_TASK",4096,NULL,6,&R485Handle,1);

Hey @abansal22
Here is the esp now code that is not working with the RTOS task combined with the above.
But it wirkes when run standalone.

Hi, Im having same issue trying to use espnow with my ESP32 using arduino and the board reboots. Did you find out how to make it work with FreeRTOS? Appreicate it
