I am trying to run the snip\ping_deepsleep example with FreeRTOS and LWIP. The application is crashing (hitting assert) right after getting the DHCP address.

In LwIP, pbuf.c, pbuf_free function, the application stops at LWIP_ASSERT("pbuf_free: p->ref > 0", p->ref > 0) where p->ref == 0.

The issue occurs in SDK 6.1 (lwIP 2.0.2) and 6.2 (lwIP 2.0.3).

Device: CYW43907

Console out

Application started: cur_rtos_time=0 cur_slow_time=92403407 rtos_time_since_deep_sleep_enter=2800103 wakeup_count=1

I tried the same example with ThreadX and NetX Duo (my application needs FreeRTOS btw). If i run the application I get the stats message repeating:

wiced_network_save_dhcp_state_for_deep_sleep

If i debug the application then I hit an assert statement in wiced_network_resume_layers: wiced_assert("WICED can't resume DHCP client", 0 != 0 );

I have verified that pings do not work through wireshark monitoring and monitoring current consumption on a scope.

I am still not able to ping with this demo app

build string: testProjects.ping_deepsleep-CYW943907AEVAL1F-FreeRTOS-LwIP download run

I change platforms to the CYW943907AEVAL1F.

I am not getting the assert error in LwIP but I am getting the stats printout over and over, about 10s intervals.

Appears the application is never entering the deepsleep mode.

wakeup_count is always set to 1 since the module does not reset from a deep sleep timeout.

wakeup_count needs to increment in order to trigger a ping.

I built the project with the original SDK 6.2 codebase  with FreeRTOS & LwIP and on the second boot, the project crashes with what seems to be a IDLE task stack overflow (if running in debug). The current does not appear to drop during the 10s supposedly in deep sleep.

Hello,

There are some issues in ping_deepsleep app in WICED 6.2. We are looking into the issue. I will update the thread when the fix is available

Hello,

I'm experiencing what I think to be a very similar issue, if not the same issue, with the CYW943907AEVAL1F board and the ping_deepsleep snip app.

The board seems to be resetting over and over. Here is an extract of the console log:

And this sequence keeps repeating over and over. The current never drops to be even near what it would be expected from a deep sleep state.

Is there a way to use deepsleep functionality with this hardware? The issue was reported 7 months ago and this thread has never been updated since then.

It has been quite long time since you replied. So any update? Is this still an issue?
