rp2: Crash with hard pin IRQ

openby peterhinchopened 2021-02-24updated 2021-05-05
bugport-rp2

Measuring hard IRQ latency with this script:

from machine import Pin, PWM
from time import sleep_ms
import math
# Link 16-17, time 16-18
pin18 = Pin(18, Pin.OUT)

def callback(_):
    pin18(1)  # Trigger
    pin18(0)

pin17 = Pin(17, Pin.IN)
_ = pin17.irq(callback, trigger=Pin.IRQ_RISING, hard=True)

pwm = PWM(Pin(16))
pwm.freq(1000)
pwm.duty_u16(0xffff // 2)

while True:
    y = 0
    for x in range(100):
        y += math.sin(x * 2 * math.pi/100)  # 6.2ms of busywork
    sleep_ms(10)

The usual latency was a creditable 25μs, but I have measured 100μs. It was not practicable to measure a worst case because the the machine suffers a hard crash usually almost immediately. If I comment out the busywork, leaving just the sleep_ms(10), it runs indefinitely with about 20μs latency.

rp2: Reading pin value from IRQ hangs forver

openby GuillaumeLeclercopened 2023-03-28updated 2026-03-25
bugport-rp2proposed-close
from machine import Pin, idle, disable_irq, enable_irq
from time import sleep_ms

pin = Pin(1, Pin.IN)

def on_change(pin):
    state = disable_irq()
    pin.value()
    enable_irq(state)

pin.irq(on_change, Pin.IRQ_RISING | Pin.IRQ_FALLING)

for i in range(1000):
        idle()
        sleep_ms(100)
        print("WORKING")

It seems impossible to read the value of the pin object passed as an argument to the callback. As soon as it is triggered the RPI Pico stop working until I unplug/replug it. Using the pin from the global context works or even recreating a new Pin instance, but not using the one passed as an argument
