how to use freeRTOS timer API's in ESP32 (basic). Needed it for stoping advertisement after some time as There is not time out functionality.

Timer_test.c

#include <stdio.h>
#include "freertos/FreeRTOS.h"
#include "esp_log.h"
#include "freertos/timers.h"

#define TAG "TIME"

/* timer calls the function ping after interval time. xTimerCreate() takes interval in TICKs so
pdMS_TO_TICKS() converts ms interval to appropriate TICKS. pdTRUE will set timer to call periodically and if Set pdFALSE,
function is called once only */

TimerHandle_t tmr;
int id = 1;
int interval = 5000;
void ping( TimerHandle_t xTimer )
{
  ESP_LOGI(TAG,"tring tring!!!");
}
void app_main()
{
    ESP_LOGI(TAG,"Timer Test.\n");

    tmr = xTimerCreate("MyTimer", pdMS_TO_TICKS(interval), pdTRUE, ( void * )id, &ping);
    if( xTimerStart(tmr, 10 ) != pdPASS ) {
     printf("Timer start error");
    }
}

Thank you so much.

The xTimerCreate doc has vTaskStartScheduler(); in it which was causing run but not compile issues. Your code highlighted this issue

The statement "ESP_LOGI(TAG,"tring tring!!!");" is causing a task stack overflow in the timer task.
