Error in west compilation in zephyr in shell_uart.c

[Bhumika]

Hi,

I have removed UART from my custom board dts file as in my current application, I am not using UART for any transfer.

But due to this, I am unable to compile code as some internal logging/Device_DT is using UART.

I am getting the following error:

/zephyr/include/net/net_l2.h:164:22: note: expected 'struct net_pkt *' but argument is of type 'struct net_pkt *'

Can you tell me which file by default uses shell_uart.c?

How can I remove this error?

[Øivind]

Hi,

Try adding CONFIG_SHELL_BACKEND_SERIAL=n to your prj.conf file.

[Bhumika]

Hi,

I have done this and added this config in prj.conf.

Now my application is getting built, but I am facing a runtime crash in the application.

Following is the crash message:

So it is giving an error in this file, can you help me in resolving this crash?

[Øivind]

Could you post your prj.conf file here?

[Bhumika]

I have in prj.conf file all CONFIG related to the following functionality:

1. ADC

2. Flash read and write

3. I2C sensor read

4. RTC

5. Openthread node in SED mode

6. Openthread joiner enabled and node not pre-commissioned

If there are any such CONFIG that is not essential kindly let me know.

As far as logging is considered, I want my logs only on JLink RTT platform and no where else.

want to disable UART shell in the code.

[Øivind]

Try adding CONFIG_SHELL_BACKEND_RTT=y. You can also try CONFIG_LOG_PRINTK=y

If that doesn't work, it would be great if you could tell me where in your code that it fails.

[Bhumika]

I get the following crash error in my code:

and when I run 

arm-none-eabi-addr2line -e zephyr/zephyr.elf  0x0004feb6


I get following output:
/Users/bhumika/Project/Zipnet_Zephyr/zephyr/lib/os/assert.c:46


So basically I get a k_panic(); in my code, but what exactly causes this K_panic() I have no idea.

Also "ASSERTION FAIL @ WEST_TOPDIR/zephyr/subsys/net/lib/openthread/platform/misc.c:36", at this location I have following code:

void otPlatAssertFail(const char *aFilename, int aLineNumber)
{
	__ASSERT(false, "OpenThread ASSERT @ %s:%d", aFilename, aLineNumber);
}

Can you help me fix this assertion error?

[Øivind]

In your prj.conf you have: CONFIG_ASSERT_NO_COND_INFO=y and CONFIG_ASSERT_NO_MSG_INFO=y.

Set these to n and see if you get more info from the assert.

[Bhumika]

Hi,

I have made above changes in conf.

Now I am getting following message at crash:

[Øivind]

The failing assert seems to be this one in MessagePool::Free :

void MessagePool::Free(Message *aMessage)
{
    OT_ASSERT(aMessage->Next() == nullptr && aMessage->Prev() == nullptr);

    FreeBuffers(static_cast<Buffer *>(aMessage));
}

Do you make any calls to this function in your code? If so you should check those.

[Bhumika]

Hi,

Yes, I have seen that and corrected that, now this crash is resolved.

In addition to that, fort he below shared prj.conf file, can you explain to me the use of some config parameters, if they are not useful to my application I will remove them to reduce application size:

Above are all prj.conf:

In the above file, I have mentioned the above configuration for why I have added them.

Can you explain to me the below configuration and which of them can be removed:

# This variant requires increased system workqueue stack size

This is a different issue than the one asked about in the original post, so please open a new ticket for this.

Separating each distinct issue into their own tickets makes the forum much easier to read and search.
