Exception when using wifi_promiscuous_enable

[mic159]

Basic Infos

Hardware

Hardware: ESP-07, But also can reproduce the same on Adafruit Huzzah (ESP-12)
Core Version: 2.1.0

Description

When using promiscuous mode, It crashes after a while (anywhere between 1-15 mins).
It usually has the same stack trace, which looks pretty messed up, is something messing up the stack?

Or am I doing something stupid?

Settings in IDE

Module: ESP-07 (using 'Generic ESP8266 Module' board type)
Flash Size: 4M/1M SPIFFS
CPU Frequency: 80Mhz
Flash Mode: DIO
Flash Frequency: 40MHZ
Upload Using: serial
Reset Method: ck

I can also repdocuce this on an Adafruit Huzzah

Sketch

Reproducible with this minimal sketch:

extern "C" {
#include <user_interface.h>
}

static void ICACHE_FLASH_ATTR handle_pkt(uint8_t* buf, uint16_t len) {

}

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  Serial.println(ESP.getFlashChipId());
  delay(10);
  wifi_set_opmode(STATION_MODE);
  wifi_set_channel(1);
  wifi_set_promiscuous_rx_cb(handle_pkt);
  delay(10);
  wifi_promiscuous_enable(1);
}

void loop() {
  delay(5000);
  Serial.println("tick");
}

hi @mic159 , I have problem to programming ESP-07 ,sometimes is working sometimes is not and not even programmed, can you tell me which IDE setting you were used for and if you have any schematic I really appreciated if you could share it

[mic159]

@mkeyno the settings I used are listed there under "Settings in IDE". As for schematics, im using this board from DX.com with a USB to UART adaptor.

I also have some bare modules I program with a breakout board, the same UART adaptor and 2 buttons that pull GPIO0 and RST to ground.

[mic159]

@igrr I have updated to version 2.2.0 and this is no longer happening!

My module has been running for over 6 hours now and it has not crashed once!!
Thankyou!

Hi Michael, can you please tell me a bit more about this promiscuous project?
What do you normaly do in the main loop to look at the contents of a collected packet?

All I need to know in my own project is to catch a certain packet without further traffic handling.

Regards, Wim
