[RESOLVED]system_get_rst_info() odd behaviour in SDK1.4

[nver]

Hi Espressif,

I am using SDK1.4 and trying "struct rst_info *restart_info = system_get_rst_info()" in my code and have noticed a potential bug in getting the correct restart reason.

Below was my sequence of reboots:

1.Apply power to the module : restart_info->reason = 0 (as expected)
2. then call system_restart() : restart_info->reason = 4 (as expected)
3. then do external reset i.e. pin EXT_RSTB to GND : restart_info->reason = 6 (as expected)
4. all subsequent calls to system_restart() returns restart_info->reason = 6 (NOT as expected, must return 4)

Looks like restart_info->reason gets stuck once it is 6 until the module is power cycled.

Can you please investigate this. its 100% reproducible on my Olimex MOD-WIFI-ESP8266-DEV module.

Thanks

+1 on this question. I had noticed this and assumed that I had broken my code ... but this is exactly the symptom set I see after having moved to SDK 1.4.

Hi,

Please have a try with the attachment, replace the corresponding libs in esp_iot_sdk_v1.4.0

Thanks for your interest in ESP8266 !

Hi,
Many thanks. the patch fixed the issue. So far I have only tested the patch for restart reason, 0, 4 and 6 and works as expected.

Thanks again
