rp_callback panic's with Class B enabled

[RobTWTG]

During our duration tests, we observed an issue when we enable class B and send many uplinks, the lbm trace shows this:

[0;33mWARN:  RP: Aborted task with hook #5 - not a priority task

Here the smtc_modem_hal_on_panic callback gets called and our application trace shows:

[ERR ][LHAL]: function: rp_callback, line: 443
[ERR ][LHAL]: RP_FAILSAFE - #2

It looks like the timeout for RX2 is not handled anymore. Does this have something to do with the priority system of tasks? We did modify the RP_Margin to a higher value. Hopefully the lbm team can provide some answers in our investigation, let us know if we can provide more information or try something.

Hi, Could you please precise the RP_Margin you are using ? Do you have something similar to below in your implementation ?

if ( smtc_modem_is_irq_flag_pending( ) == false )  {
            hal_watchdog_reload( );
            hal_mcu_set_sleep_for_ms( MIN( sleep_time_ms, WATCHDOG_RELOAD_PERIOD_MS ) );
}

Many thanks, Best regards

Thank you for replying, it looked like it was an issue on our side how we provided time to smtc_modem_hal_get_time_in_ms, in some rare cases subseconds where passed wrong with 1000ms margin error. That caused this assert with class b enabled.

I will close the issue.
