ESP32-S3 CONFIG_ESP32S3_DATA_CACHE_16KB

Postby mikkeldamsgaard » Mon May 16, 2022 8:27 am

Hey

I am having a few issues when I try to set the data cache to 16kb on the S3.
I am on IDF 4.4.1

Issue 1: If at the same time, I enable CONFIG_ESP_SYSTEM_ALLOW_RTC_FAST_MEM_AS_HEAP, then there is a compile error in esp32s3/memory_layout.c, I think there is a missing trailing comma in line 75. For now, apparently these two options are mutually exclusive, is that the intended behaviour?

Issue 2: When configured to run more than 1 core, the system becomes extremely unstable. If I limit it to one core everything seems to run smoothly, but as soon as I add in the second core, I get intermittent reboots, as for example (I dont know why the stack pointer is pointing to the top of the RTC RAM, this looks so weird):
Guru Meditation Error: Core 1 panic'ed (Double exception).

Core 1 register dump:

Is the 16KB data cache not supported on dual CPU?

As a side note: I had to edit panic_handler.c to comment out these two lines to even get the above register dump, as otherwise the WDT kicked in:
BUSY_WAIT_IF_TRUE(panic_get_cause(frame) == PANIC_RSN_INTWDT_CPU0 && core_id == 1);
BUSY_WAIT_IF_TRUE(panic_get_cause(frame) == PANIC_RSN_INTWDT_CPU1 && core_id == 0);
Kind regards
Mikkel
