Arduino-esp32: abort() was called at PC 0x40170757 on core 1 ESP32 - CAM

[paulgiordano123]

I am trying to do a few things in a forever loop as well as keeping track of a timer variable. My loop can be seen below:

void loop() {
    //Code to send video frames through the websocket to the webserver 
    camera_fb_t *fb = esp_camera_fb_get();
    if(!fb){
       esp_camera_fb_return(FB);
       return;
    }

    if(fb->format != PIXFORMAT_JPEG){
      return;
    }

    client.sendBinary((const char*) fb->buf, fb->len);
    esp_camera_fb_return(FB);

    //Code to check the output of the PIR sensor as well as the timer variable 
    if (digitalRead(4) == 1 && timer > 45){
              //sendEmail();
              //Establish Firebase Connection
              Firebase.begin("https://testapp-", "Uanv47YytD138HyK99F");
              FirebaseJson json1;
              timeClient.update();
              formattedDate = timeClient.getFormattedDate();
              Serial.println(formattedDate);
              json1.set("timeDetected",formattedDate);
              Firebase.pushJSON(firebaseData, "00001", json1);
              Serial.println("Motion Detected");
              timer = 0;                     
    }
    Serial.println(timer);
    timer++;
}

The problem is that although these functions run fine independently when I put them together in this for loop a system crash is caused always after printing out "Motion Detected". Everything else in the if statement works and is completed but for some reason, after finishing the code inside it the system restarts giving me the following error below:

abort() was called at PC 0x40173a1f on core 1

Is there anything obvious that is making the chip crash every time the if statement is invoked? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There should be some more diag info just above your dump. Turn on debug mode and see if you can get more details in the trace. Look for something like this.

I've same error but no more diag info "abort() was called at PC 0x40085775 on core 1" is the first line.

I've moved all of my Wifi (http, etc) work over to core 0. This has solved these issues for me.

If you are open to using PlatformIO, see my comments to the issue linked here on how to debug what is causing the abort() on core 1.

@awyork may I ask how you moved Wifi to core0?
