Hardfault in memset during startup of Zigbee stack

[patbra]

Hi

Im trying to set up a project for development of a Zigbee / BLE based product. For that product, we use our own platform and SDK which includes the nordic nRF5 SDK for Thread and Zigbee. We use FreeRTOS in our platform, so therefore, I have chosen "examples/zigbee/experimental/multi_sensor_freertos" as a starting point for my application. 

We use our own build system, based on GNU Make, so therefore I have looked at the file "examples/zigbee/experimental/multi_sensor_freertos/pca10056/blank/armgcc/Makefile", and I have tried to get everything in there to match my own build.

The project compiles and starts, but during initialization of the Zigbee stack, I get a hardfault when using memset() in zb_init_configurable_mem(). 

I have tried to use memset() in main.c and it works as expected. Any ideas of what I have missed?

Thank you,

Hi Patrik,

Could you please share what you're using memset() for, and possibly a code snippet of where you're using it, just to see what you're doing? This would make it easier to try and figure out what it is that is failing.

Best regards,

Marte

Hi

I am not using memset(). It seems like it is used from the Zigbee stack in function zb_init_configurable_mem() according to the call stack I provided.

Hi Patrik,

Thank you for the information. I will ask our Zigbee team internally if they have seen this issue before or might know what causes it. I will come back to you as soon as I hear back from them.

Best regards,

Marte

Hi Patrik,

Our Zigbee team have tried to reproduce the issue, but with no luck so far. They do have some questions that might help them solving it:

• Do you experience this issue with other examples in our SDK?
• Is this issue present in Zigbee-only configuration?
• What toochain version are you using to compile this example? Is it gcc-arm-none-eabi-9-2020-q2?
• What Zigbee role does the device have? (ZED/ZR)?
• What memory config is used in your application? (zb_mem_config_min.h/med/max)?

Best regards,

Marte

Hi

1. I tried example "examples/zigbee/light_control/light_bulb" and I get the same issue here. 
2. What do you mean with "Zigbee-only"? I try to run the example "multi_sensor_freertos" and that example doesn't use multi-protocol if that is what you mean?
3. Yes I use gcc-arm-none-eabi-9-2020-q2
4. The example use role ZB_ED_ROLE
5. The example use "#include "zb_mem_config_med.h"

I use the example as is from the SDK. The difference is that:

1. We use our own build system to compile and link

2. We use our version of FreeRTOS. This should be an unmodified FreeRTOS-Kernel 10.4.2 version

This is probably some stupid mistake on my side. I just can't figure out what. Maybe im missing some compile or link file. Or maybe some define in the Makefile that I have missed. 

Regards,

Patrik
