More Information.

There is plenty of memory, and the same code runs perfectly on a PC. During execution, no specific calls are made except for rendering on HUB75.

Crash seems to be coming from 0x400da488: ParticleEmitter::emit(long) at C:/MyDevEnv/Projs/PromoDisplay/CodeESP32/components/particles/src/ParticleEmitter.hpp:853 accessing an invalid address 0xfffda894.

Does not seem related to esp_timer_impl_lac from what I can see

Crash seems to be coming from 0x400da488: ParticleEmitter::emit(long) at C:/MyDevEnv/Projs/PromoDisplay/CodeESP32/components/particles/src/ParticleEmitter.hpp:853 accessing an invalid address 0xfffda894.

I think I found the problem. It's stack and heap overlap.

Marking this as closed then as it seems to be not an issue with esp-idf.
