when send large data(greater 120 bytes) to UART1, esp32 will creah

[jjmin.liang]

hi guys,

I'm working on the ESP32 DevKit, and I writing a program on esp32 to send data to UART1(GPIO10, GPIO9), I using a USB-TTL tool to connect the UART1 on ESP32 DevKit to my Mac OS X, and send data to UART1 through a serial tools on the Mac. But when I sent a large data that about 100-700 bytes to UART1, the ESP32 was creash, and the output in the `make monitor` is :

Code: Select all

I was test this with the uart_echo exampel in the IDF, it same with my program, it will crash when sent large data to UART1. but this issue is not trigger every time, but it's easy to reproduce.

please help, I need some tip about this, I've working with this issue all day..no idea, thank you!

GPIO9 and 10 on ESP-WROOM32 are used for the SPI flash bus, so sending something on these pins will cause flash communication issue, which in turn results in ESP32 being unable to load correct instructions from flash (as seen in the panic handler output). You need to use other GPIOs — UART1 can be connected to any other pins using the GPIO matrix. You may also read ESP-WROOM32 datasheet for the list of pins and their functions.

hey! You are awesome! the point is what you said, I just change it to gpio4 and gpio 5, it work like a cham, thank you so much!
