I2C assert failed,and not work somtimes!

Postby WayneJia » Thu Aug 03, 2017 8:20 am

I have two problems with I2C.
I read data from BMX055(9 axis sensor) through I2C per 20ms

1.I2C will have assert failed when the device run for a while.
This is log:

Code: Select all

C:/esp32-idf/esp-idf/components/freertos/ringbuf.c:600 (xRingbufferReceiveUpToFromISR)- assert failed!
abort() was called at PC 0x400879d5 on core 0
Guru Meditation Error: Core  0 panic'ed (abort)

Backtrace: 0x400d1408:0x3ffc0590 0x4008542c:0x3ffc05b0 0x40118908:0x3ffc05d0 0x40081f41:0x3ffc0600

rst:0x10 (RTCWDT_RTC_RESET),boot:0x13 (SPI_FAST_FLASH_BOOT)
2.Another problem is that i2c not work totally.(I2C work normally at most of the time)
Sometimes,device reboot whith i2c not work totally.This situation most commonly happened when I turn on device after make erase_flash flash or mak flash.I2C will not respond,all read or write operations failed,so the code of I2C part will run very slowly and the device will not work.In this situation ,I must unplug battery to make I2C work again.Even I make erase_flash flash again,the device not working, either!

This is part of my code:
1.I init I2C at main_app().
2.I read data from sensor per 20ms in other task.

Code: Select all

#define I2C_MASTER_FREQ_HZ         400000     /*!< I2C master clock frequency */
#define I2C_PIN_SCL 13
#define I2C_PIN_SDA 14

{
	esp_err_t err;
	
    int i2c_master_port = I2C_NUM_0;

    conf.mode = I2C_MODE_MASTER;
    conf.sda_io_num = I2C_PIN_SDA;
    conf.sda_pullup_en = GPIO_PULLUP_ENABLE;
    conf.scl_io_num = I2C_PIN_SCL;
    conf.scl_pullup_en = GPIO_PULLUP_ENABLE;
    conf.master.clk_speed = I2C_MASTER_FREQ_HZ;
    err = i2c_param_config(i2c_master_port, &conf);
    err = i2c_driver_install(i2c_master_port, conf.mode,
                       I2C_MASTER_RX_BUF_DISABLE,
                       I2C_MASTER_TX_BUF_DISABLE, 0);
}

esp_err_t i2c_master_read_slave(uint8_t slaveAddr,uint8_t* data_rd, size_t size)
{
    esp_err_t err;
	
    if (size == 0) {
        return ESP_OK;
    }
    i2c_cmd_handle_t cmd = i2c_cmd_link_create();
    err = i2c_master_start(cmd);
    err = i2c_master_write_byte(cmd, ( slaveAddr << 1 ) | READ_BIT, ACK_CHECK_EN);
    if (size > 1) {
        err = i2c_master_read(cmd, data_rd, size - 1, ACK_VAL);
    }
    err = i2c_master_read_byte(cmd, data_rd + size - 1, NACK_VAL);
    err = i2c_master_stop(cmd);
    esp_err_t ret = i2c_master_cmd_begin(I2C_NUM_0, cmd, 1000 / portTICK_RATE_MS);
    i2c_cmd_link_delete(cmd);
    return ret;
}

esp_err_t i2c_master_write_slave(uint8_t slaveAddr,uint8_t* data_wr, size_t size)

    err = i2c_master_write(cmd, data_wr, size, ACK_CHECK_EN);
    err = i2c_master_stop(cmd);
    esp_err_t ret = i2c_master_cmd_begin(I2C_NUM_0, cmd, 1000 / portTICK_RATE_MS);
    i2c_cmd_link_delete(cmd);
    return ret;
}

Hi,

Did you overcome your problem? I got the same but worse.

My I2C code stops at : i2c_master_cmd_begin(I2C_NUM_0, cmd, 1000/portTICK_PERIOD_MS)
the console showed: ESP_ERROR_CHECK failed: esp_err_t 0x107 at 0x4011231e
expression: i2c_master_cmd_begin(I2C_NUM_0, cmd, 1000/portTICK_PERIOD_MS)
Guru Meditation Error: Core 0 panic'ed (abort)

Backtrace: 0x40114ef9:0x3ffbb500 0x40085420:0x3ffbb520 0x401129a6:0x3ffbb570 0x0

Rebooting...

and reboot
if you have any idea, I will be grateful

Hi,

Unfortunately I am experiencing similar problems while working with the I2C peripheral.
The I2C peripheral stops working after a random amount of time.

The first I2C device I use in a lot of projects is the PCF8574 I2C IO expander. The code is supposed to toggle P7 high/low. The other tasks that are running don't use the I2C peripheral.

Code: Select all


static void pcf_task(void *pVParameter)
{
	/* Init I2C */
	//PCF8574 pcf1 = PCF8574(PCF8574_ADDR);
	
	int i2c_master_port = I2C_EXAMPLE_MASTER_NUM; // 0
	i2c_config_t conf;
	conf.mode = I2C_MODE_MASTER;
	conf.sda_io_num = (gpio_num_t)I2C_EXAMPLE_MASTER_SDA_IO; // IO12
	conf.sda_pullup_en = GPIO_PULLUP_ENABLE;
	conf.scl_io_num = (gpio_num_t)I2C_EXAMPLE_MASTER_SCL_IO; // IO14
	conf.scl_pullup_en = GPIO_PULLUP_ENABLE;
	conf.master.clk_speed = I2C_EXAMPLE_MASTER_FREQ_HZ; // 100KHz
	i2c_param_config((i2c_port_t)i2c_master_port, &conf);
	i2c_driver_install((i2c_port_t)i2c_master_port,
		conf.mode,
		I2C_EXAMPLE_MASTER_RX_BUF_DISABLE,
		I2C_EXAMPLE_MASTER_TX_BUF_DISABLE,
		0);
	
	for (;;)
	{
//		pcf1._write(0x01);
//		vTaskDelay(500 / portTICK_PERIOD_MS);
//		pcf1._write(0x00);	
//		vTaskDelay(500 / portTICK_PERIOD_MS);
		i2c_cmd_handle_t cmd = i2c_cmd_link_create();
		i2c_master_start(cmd);
		i2c_master_write_byte(cmd, 0x20 << 1 | WRITE_BIT, ACK_CHECK_EN);// ADDR pins are low, 0x20 is the base address
		i2c_master_write_byte(cmd, 0x80, ACK_CHECK_EN);						// 0x80 sets P7 to HIGH
		i2c_master_stop(cmd);
		int ret = i2c_master_cmd_begin(I2C_NUM_0, cmd, 1000 / portTICK_RATE_MS);
		i2c_cmd_link_delete(cmd);
		if (ret == ESP_FAIL) {
			printf("Failed 1!");
		}
		vTaskDelay(100 / portTICK_RATE_MS);
		//printf("Go low\n");		
		cmd = i2c_cmd_link_create();
		i2c_master_start(cmd);
		i2c_master_write_byte(cmd, 0x20 << 1 | WRITE_BIT, ACK_CHECK_EN);// ADDR pins are low, 0x20 is the base address
		i2c_master_write_byte(cmd, 0x00, ACK_CHECK_EN); 					// 0x00 sets P7 to LOW
		i2c_master_stop(cmd);
		ret = i2c_master_cmd_begin(I2C_NUM_0, cmd, 1000 / portTICK_RATE_MS);
		i2c_cmd_link_delete(cmd);
		if (ret == ESP_FAIL) {
			printf("Failed 2!");
		}
		vTaskDelay(100 / portTICK_RATE_MS);
		//printf("Go high\n");			
	}
}

...
...

void app_main()
{	
	//test();
	nvs_flash_init();	
	//initialise_wifi();
	//xTaskCreate(&http_get_task, "http_get_task", 1024 * 5, NULL, 3, NULL);
	//xTaskCreate(&hello_task, "hello_task", 2048, NULL, 5, NULL);
	//xTaskCreate(&status_led_task, "status_led_task", 1024, NULL, 5, NULL);
	//xTaskCreate(&adc_task, "adc1task", 1024 * 3, NULL, 10, NULL);
	xTaskCreate(&temperature_task, "temperature_task", 1024 * 2, NULL, 6, NULL);
	xTaskCreate(&fan_task, "fan_task", 1024 * 3, NULL, 10, NULL);	
	xTaskCreate(&pwm_reader, "pwm_reader_task", 1024 * 8, NULL, 6, NULL);
	//xTaskCreate(&uart_task, "uart_task", 1024 * 3, NULL, 6, NULL);
	xTaskCreate(&pcf_task, "pcf_task", 1024 * 8, NULL, 2, NULL);
}

This code works for an x ammount of time, but always leads to an error ( esp_code 0x107). The error is caused by the following part of i2c_master_cmd_begin() located in the file i2c.c:

Code: Select all

 res = xSemaphoreTake(p_i2c->cmd_sem, ticks_to_wait);
    if (res == pdFALSE) {
	    ESP_LOGE(I2C_TAG, "Timeout 2!");
        ret = ESP_ERR_TIMEOUT;
I dont think there is any hardware related problem in my setup. The last output generated by the esp looks good to me. After this sequence nothing happens on the lines anymore ( program is still running but outputs the 107 error):
esp32-pcf.png
esp32-pcf.png (23.2 KiB) Viewed 10918 times
So I think the semaphore is not released somewhere (within the specified block time). I am new to the freertos, and I can't figure out why the semaphore could be in use by anything else.
Anyone ever experienced the exact same issue and was able to solve it?

Hello,

seems I have exactly the same problem.

I saw also the Problem with this semaphore. When I was digging a little more deeper I saw that the I2C Interrupt stopped working and the i2C Interrupt monitoring timed out.

What I found out was: it never occured if I have no Network traffic through WLAN. (using REST requests). And when I am hammering the System with a high frequency of web requests the I2C fails much more often and the I2C timeout stopps.
I assume that there is a Problem with the Interrupt priorities between I2C and somewhat of WLAN.

Hi
Same pattern here - I have audio running through wlan on Buddy Casinos Web radio and a web socket to monitor/control my amplifier using a I2C interface. I2C interface random crashed and only power cycle can get system back on track.
Love to get this bug nailed.

Hi,

when using the latest IDF from Github, which includes the i2C recovery rework, it recovers properly after a fault without restarting the ESP. So in m application there is no need to hard reset the system to get it run after a fault. A hard reset was necessary in my application, when I was using with the elder esp-idf, without the rework. So recover works for now..

But the root course for the problem is not solved.
The i2c Fails when having Websocket acticities. When there is more activity it fails more often (and recovers now with the latest idf). The more interesting part is why the i2c fails and why the i2c Interrupt times out.
And it does not without websocket activities.

So, eventually, I2C cant work simultaneously with WLan, it seems that is a bug of SDK or hardware, should we report to company to fix or what else should we do?
