Running MQTT Demo periodically with OTA Update Demo causes firmware to restart

Namaste @aggarg,

@aggarg

Relying on a delay for synchronization is not a good idea for a production system.

Point taken! Thank you for highlighting this potential issue. for bringing this to my attention.

@aggarg

Either use some synchronization primitive (task notification/semaphore)

When creating Threads with Iot_CreateDetachedThread, it’s not possible to get the TaskHandle_t required for leveraging Task Notifications. In this earlier post of mine on this matter, you had recommended creating tasks using xTaskCreate().

I’m leveraging the AWS IoT Device SDK C, so I suppose I will have to use the IoTMutex_xxx and IoTSemaphore_xxx APIs for ensuring the synchronisation.

@aggarg

or consider the flow I mentioned in one of the above post

I shall look in to your suggested flow of creating an MQTT connection first and, then creating the two threads.

Thanks | Regards,
Dipen
