KAZUHO KINOSHITA asked 6 years ago

I am using following ESP32 boards and now started to encounter board reset-error called “Guru Meditation Error: Core  1 panic’ed (InstrFetchProhibited). Exception was unhandled.”
Could you help us to solve this problem?

  • Boards causing this problem: WeMos D1 R32 ESP32-WROOM-32D
  • Problem: 2 boards were working fine few days. But when I added one additional board with the same code in the WiFi router, all boards started rebooting and repeat the following message. Now they they never work with the code.

Hi.
The guru meditation error is very difficult to troubleshoot.
Many times it may be cause by bad USB cable, not enough power or inappropriate use of GPIOs. It may also have other reasons that are not easy to identify.
Do you have any peripherals connected to your boards?And what code are you running?
Regards,
Sara
