I noticed a problem with gnarl and a 754 pump with Loop. The problem is that Loop has a feature called "idlelistening" where it waits for mysentry packets. These are a GetPacket command with a timeout of 4 minutes. This calls - from what I can tell - a pretty uninterruptible "receive" command (in rfm95.c). Subsequent commands send by loop will all timeout, eventually fill up the queue, and reboot gnarl. As a result communication is a bit on/off and not very reliable in general.

My understanding is that in the rileylink firmware any additional command will cancel the ongoing get_packet (https://github.com/ps2/subg_rfspy/blob/5d1d7fb912e5334ee3388d6e6ee40805979b610d/radio.c#L366) . The code in the phone will re-issue the idlelisten command.
What I have tried to fix it is to do a
My understanding is that rfspy_command is running on the ble task and receive is on the gnarl_loop task.
My try to fix this was to do a xTaskNotifyGive(gnarl_loop_handle) in rfspy_command (gnarl_looop_handle is the value from xTaskCreate).
Here is a typical log file
