Here is the task code:
(I commented out the lines I have tried, and enumarated them.)

void speedCalInit(void * arg)
{
ext_int_gpio4_init();
tg0_timer0_init();

int old_ext_isr_counter = 0;

//esp_task_wdt_feed(); //(1)

//const TickType_t xDelay = 1 / portTICK_PERIOD_MS; //(2)

while(1 ...

Yes, I had a while loop without calling vTaskDelay or any other freeRTOS function. Then I learnt that freeRTOS threads are different than POSIX threads. (yes I'm new to freeRTOS :) )

So I first tried to feed the wdt with esp_task_wdt_feed() function. I called it in the beginning of task function ...

Does the diagnostic message written to serial output contain the identity of which task is being starved?

here is the serial output I get:
Task watchdog got triggered. The following tasks did not feed the watchdog in time:
- IDLE (CPU 1)
Tasks currently running:
CPU 0: IDLE
CPU 1: speedCalInit ...

Hi,

This topic is quite old, but I have the same idle task wdt feed issue.
I created a ble gatt service referring to gatts_demo in esp_idf, and I have a task which calculates some data using digital inputs and sensors. I initialized ble gatt in app_main, and then created a task for calculations as ...
