I’m working on an aws/amazon-freertos project. In there I found some unusual error “A stack overflow in task iot_thread has been detected”.
Many time I got this error and somehow I managed to remove it by changing the code.
I just want to know what this error means actually?
As per what I know, it simply means that the iot_thread ask stack size is not sufficient. So it’s getting overflow.
Is this the only reason why this error comes or can there be another reason for this?
If yes then where should I increase the stack size of the iot_thread task?
Full Log:
