TM4C129ENCPDT: Getting reset while freeing up the resources allocated using httpcli library

Akhi G

Hi All,

I am using httpcli library with tirtos and doing https. Everything is working fine but when I tried to release the resources, I am getting reset.

I am creating the https req using httpcli library.

HTTPCli_Struct cli;
HTTPCli_Handle cliPtr;

I am using these to connect and send data. Everything works fine but when I am releasing the resources and closing the connection, I am getting reset-

cliPtr = &cli;
HTTPCli_disconnect(&cli);

HTTPCli_destruct(&cli);

Using above code, I am able to close the connection. But, I read in the document that HTTPCli_destruct does not free up the memory. For that I have to use HTTPCli_delete.

cliPtr = &cli;
HTTPCli_disconnect(&cli);

HTTPCli_delete(&cliPtr);

When I am calling this, I am getting reset into HTTPCli_delete API call.

Why is this so? Can anyone help me fix this. I have to free up memory too because I am creating multiple sockets for MQTT, FTPS too.

Thanks

Hi,

When you said reset, do you really mean the device is reset after you call HTTPCli_delete and restarting again? Or you only observe the device crashes or hangs?

Take a look at the below post to see if it is applicable to you.

Also follow the TI-RTOS troubleshooting tips in the below link.

Hi Charles,

Actually it is not reset, the execution goes into some FFFFFE location and it stuck there.

Hi Charle,

I have some doubt here.

I am using HTTPCli_construct(&cli), not HTTPCli_create(). So do I dont need to call HTTPCli_delete as I am not suing HTTPCli_create ?

What is the main difference between the two?

Thanks

See this wiki page that explains the different ways of creating an object (<MOD>_create vs. <MOD>_construct. I think there may be some issues with the stack size you allocated. Why don't you increase the stack size for the task that invokes the HTTPCli_construct and see if that makes a difference?

Hi Charles,

I tested and found out that only if I am using HTTPCli_create, then I have to use HTTPCli_delete, otherwise if will hang.

I used HTTPCli_create and was able to use delete API. , otherwise, destruct is working fine.

Thanks

Hi Charles,

I am not able to post new questions with this account. Is there any issue?

This is not my company mail address. It is showing that only company or University mail address account can post questions. What has happened?

Thanks
