Weird reset behaviour on ESP-EYE when using void function compared to int

Projects Programming

Hi, I am getting some strange behaviour that I can't understand. On my esp-eye I am simply calling two functions, with a 2D array as an input. When I call the voidfunc I get this error:

camera initialised
end setup

But if I comment out the voidfunc call it works fine (ie returning an int it has no problem with). Also worth noting if I change the size of the array to 2x2 for example it works fine.

The problem is with the way you pass the array to the function.
call like this :

 voidfunc(r,158,118);

and

void voidfunc(uint8_t (*im)[158],n,m)
{
 Serial.println("void func");
}

An example:

#define ROWS 3
#define COLS 2

int array_2D[ROWS][COLS] = { {1, 2}, {3, 4}, {5, 6} };

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  while (!Serial);
}

void fun1(int (*a)[COLS], int n, int m)
{
  int i, j;
  for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
    for (j = 0; j < m; j++) {
      Serial.print(i);
      Serial.print("\t");
      Serial.print(j);
      Serial.print("\t");
      Serial.println(a[i][j]);
    }
  }
}

void loop() {
  int n = ROWS;
  int m = COLS;

  fun1(array_2D, n, m);
}

Thank you for that it worked!! Except now when I try and implement this in my program it still resets. It works until the houghtransform function which breaks it. I thought it might be the size (the array inside houghtransform is supposed to be 397x180), but even with a 2x2 I get this problem.
