NVDS MAGIC FAILED issue with latest esp-idf

Postby Lucas.Hutchinson » Wed Feb 22, 2017 11:19 pm

Hi all,

I am having trouble with using the ble GATT_Server and GATT_Client examples with the latest esp-idf (commits after 61c7bd3).

No matter what i try i always seem to get the error "NVDS MAGIC FAILED".

I have tried:
Erasing the esp32 flash using: "make erase_flash"
Cleaning the project then rebuilding: "make clean" then "make flash -j8" and also "make clean" then "make flash"
Deleting the repository then getting a fresh clone, doing "make menuconfig" then "make flash -j8"

Below is a dump of the uart output:

As soon as I go back to commit 61c7bd3 this error doesn't happen, all i have to do is go back to this commit, then do "make menuconfig", "make clean" then "make flash -j8" and the example starts up correctly.

Please let me know if there is any other information i can provide.

We have a fix for this issue, as soon as it passes QA it will be available in GitHub master.

Hi
I'm also running into "NVDS MAGIC FAILED" with gatt_client. When will the fix become available? Thank you.

Hello, I continue to have this NVDS MAGIC FAILED issue and it totally prevents me from doing any work on my project. Can someone please explain what this is and what is causing it? Is a fix still coming?

Is there anything I can try myself to solve this? In very seldom cases, I seem to get past the NVDS MAGIC FAILED message. But I am then unable to figure out what I did to cause this. And all of the next attempts then fail again. Please help.

Hi, this is not a error.
This log is printed by rom code. Bluetooth have it's own NVDS(flash operations) in rom codes. But we haven't use this NVDS right now This NVDS is used for store BT/BLE key and other things. If you don't care that automatically connect after reset, please ignore this log. So it will not cause any problem.
Actually, we use NVS instead of NVDS to store Classic BT/BLE key, but this function is not in MASTER now.

So should I just ignore "NVDS MAGIC FAILED"? Any idea why, as soon as I flash gatt_client, I run into a crash/restart loop like below? I update esp-idf often and this issue started about a weeks ago. gatt_client just won't start up any more.

I have try the GATT_SERVER demo after commit (61c7bd3), there's no problem in mine.
After this commit, we change something about RF/PHY initialize flow and maybe do some change about NVS.
I think you should erase all the flash , then download the ESP-IDF bin.

Let me point out that I am not the author of the first message of this thread. I jumped in because I am also seeing the "NVDS MAGIC FAILED" message. Not sure if this is the exact same issue, as reported by the other person.

So here is the thing:

- Running gatt_client ONCE is causing "NVDS MAGIC FAILED" on all successive attempts to run gatt_client. Simple as that.

- I found out how to reliably break out of this situation: by running "make erase_flash" and then again "make flash". This let's me run gatt_client once again without problems. But when I then reset the device (or turn it off and on again) it will again abort during startup, showing that "NVDS MAGIC FAILED" message. So I have to "erase_flash" and "flash" every time, only to run the app one more time.

Q:

- Any idea why running a BTLE client (and interrupting it at some point, possibly while it is connected to a gatt_server) will cause "NVDS MAGIC FAILED" message to occur on every successive restart of the device?

- What is the exact meaning of "NVDS MAGIC FAILED"? Can you think of a way to "fix NVDS MAGIC" - other than to use erase_flash and re-flashing the app?

Thank you very much.

I have to apologize. Please ignore my two previous postings. The voodoo behaviour I was seeing was caused by a defect USB cable. I have switched cables today and everything is back to normal. I still see a "NVDS MAGIC FAILED" message on start, but this does not seem to signal an error condition. It is followed by the expected log lines:

NVDS MAGIC FAILED
RF Init OK with coex
I (311) phy: phy_version: 329, Feb 22 2017, 15:58:07, 0, 0
Enable Classic BT
Enable Low Energy
E (311) BT: Startup BTU
