Decoding Stacktraces
You may encounter a situation where your device crashes and are left with a stacktrace, below are two methods of decoding them.
Manually
:::info
This method uses the symbols of the firmware.elf file generated from your latest build, you may wish to rebuild to get up-to-date symbols.
:::
- Save the backtrace string to a text file:
text title="backtrace.txt"
Backtrace: 0x....
- Run the exception decoder:
shell bin/exception_decoder.py backtrace.txt
In Real-Time
In order to decode stack traces in real time, keep the following command (replacing DEVICE_PORT with your device's port) running in your terminal with the target device connected:
pio device monitor --port DEVICE_PORT -f esp32_exception_decoder
