BUG FIX FOR RMT EXCESS TRANSITIONS Problem ~~~~~~~ Using a UHF receiver throws noise into the RMT peripheral. Standard IDF function esp-idf\components\driver\rmt.c reports "RMT RX BUFFER FULL" (line 593) when attempting to pull a noisy capture. A core panic occurs when the system is writing to FLASH memory: FOTA updates SPIFFS updates Preferences updates If the RMT interrupt occurs during a flash write a core panic due to accessing non cached memory, being the debug message string. Commenting out the debug message line allows the code to function OK. System does not crash, but we lose the warning. (On the contrary, it is an annoying message anyway). How to fix it ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Get the ESP-IDF for the ESP32 Determine the IDF release used by arduino-esp32. This is best achieved by examining the results from calling the run time esp_get_idf_version(). The first part of the SHA of the release is the value following the "g" in the last field: eg: v3.2.3-14-gd3e562907 => d3e562907 Locate and switch the IDF to that SHA. Comment out the debug print @ line 593 of esp-idf\components\driver\rmt.c Create a copy of the IDF Blink example: eg: esp-idf\examples\get-started\blink -> esp-idf\examples\get-started\arduinobuild IMPORTANT: Copy the sdkconfig file from the arduino-esp32 build being used to the copy created in the previous step: eg for platformIO C:\Users\$USER$\.platformio\packages\framework-arduinoespressif32\tools\sdk -> esp-idf\examples\get-started\arduinobuild Using an ESP-IDF command prompt, navigate to the project eg: esp-idf\examples\get-started\arduinobuild Execute idf.py fullclean Execute idf.py build Copy the libdriver.a file from the build result to the arduino-esp32 lib: esp-idf\examples\get-started\arduinobuild\build\driver -> C:\Users\$USER$\.platformio\packages\framework-arduinoespressif32\tools\sdk\lib delete the libFrameworkArduino.a file from the PIO build outputs eg .pio\build\esp32dev Rebuild the PIO project, the Arduino libraries will be relinked, using the new libdriver.a Upload and test new build PROBLEM SOLVED!
