esp8266 RTOS blink example doesn't work - esp8266

Question

I have a problem with the RTOS firmware on the esp8266 (I have a esp12e), after flashing the firmware, reading from uart, it keeps stuck with those lines:
ets Jan 8 2013,rst cause:2, boot mode:(3,0)
load 0x40100000, len 31584, room 16
tail 0
chksum 0x24
load 0x3ffe8000, len 944, room 8
tail 8
chksum 0x9e
load 0x3ffe83b0, len 1080, room 0
tail 8
chksum 0x60
csum 0x60
Now I will explain my HW setup:
GPIO15 -> Gnd
EN -> Vcc
GPIO0 -> Gnd (when flashing)
GPIO0 -> Vcc (normal mode)
For the toolchain I've followed this tutorial and it works well:
http://microcontrollerkits.blogspot.it/2015/12/esp8266-eclipse-development.html
Then I started doing my RTOS blink example, I post my user_main.c code here:
#include "esp_common.h"
#include "gpio.h"
void task2(void *pvParameters)
{
printf("Hello, welcome to client!\r\n");
while(1)
{
// Delay and turn on
vTaskDelay (300/portTICK_RATE_MS);
GPIO_OUTPUT_SET (5, 1);
// Delay and LED off
vTaskDelay (300/portTICK_RATE_MS);
GPIO_OUTPUT_SET (5, 0);
}
}

return rf_cal_sec;

// Config pin as GPIO5
PIN_FUNC_SELECT (PERIPHS_IO_MUX_GPIO5_U, FUNC_GPIO5);
xTaskCreate(task2, "tsk2", 256, NULL, 2, NULL);
}
I also post the flash command, the first executed one time, the second every time I modify the code:
c:/Espressif/utils/ESP8266/esptool.exe -p COM3 write_flash -ff 40m -fm qio -fs 32m 0x3FC000 c:/Espressif/ESP8266_RTOS_SDK/bin/esp_init_data_default.bin 0x3FE000 c:/Espressif/ESP8266_RTOS_SDK/bin/blank.bin 0x7E000 c:/Espressif/ESP8266_RTOS_SDK/bin/blank.bin
c:/Espressif/utils/ESP8266/esptool.exe -p COM3 -b 256000 write_flash -ff 40m -fm qio -fs 32m 0x00000 firmware/eagle.flash.bin 0x40000 firmware/eagle.irom0text.bin
There is something wrong? I really don't understand why it doesn't work.
When I try the NON-OS example they works very well.

Answer 1

I had the same problem as you. This issue is caused by the incorrect address of the eagle.irom0text.bin .
So I changed the address of the eagle.irom0text.bin from 0x40000 (0x10000) to 0x20000 and it worked well for me.

The correct flash codes in the common_rtos.mk (ESP-12E)
for flashinit
flashinit:
$(vecho) "Flash init data default and blank data."
$(ESPTOOL) -p $(ESPPORT) write_flash $(flashimageoptions) 0x3fc000 $(SDK_BASE)/bin/esp_init_data_default.bin
$(ESPTOOL) -p $(ESPPORT) write_flash $(flashimageoptions) 0x3fe000 $(SDK_BASE)/bin/blank.bin
for flash:
flash: all
#ifeq ($(app), 0)
$(ESPTOOL) -p $(ESPPORT) -b $(ESPBAUD) write_flash $(flashimageoptions) 0x00000 $(FW_BASE)/eagle.flash.bin 0x20000 $(FW_BASE)/eagle.irom0text.bin
else
ifeq ($(boot), none)
$(ESPTOOL) -p $(ESPPORT) -b $(ESPBAUD) write_flash $(flashimageoptions) 0x00000 $(FW_BASE)/eagle.flash.bin 0x20000 $(FW_BASE)/eagle.irom0text.bin
else
$(ESPTOOL) -p $(ESPPORT) -b $(ESPBAUD) write_flash $(flashimageoptions) $(addr) $(FW_BASE)/upgrade/$(BIN_NAME).bin
