Guru Meditation Error: Core 1 panic'ed (Cache disabled but cached memory region accessed) error shows when i use ESP now protocol

-1

This error shows in my serial monitor see the code below for ESP32 and please help me to solve

Out of curiosity I tried your code and I can reproduced what you are facing. But I noticed that if I swap the line irrecv.enableIRIn(); with WiFi.mode(WIFI_MODE_STA); in setup(), the crash stop.

This will cause the sketch to crash

#include <WiFi.h>
#include <IRremote.h>

int IR_Recv = 4; 

IRrecv irRecv(IR_Recv);
decode_results results;

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(115200);
  irRecv.enableIRIn();
  WiFi.mode(WIFI_MODE_STA); 
  
}


void loop() {
}

This will work perfectly without crash

#include <WiFi.h>
#include <IRremote.h>

int IR_Recv = 4; 

IRrecv irRecv(IR_Recv);
decode_results results;

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(115200);
  WiFi.mode(WIFI_MODE_STA);
  irRecv.enableIRIn();   
}


void loop() {
}

I couldn't explain why, what irrecv.enableIRIn() does is to setup the interrupt and reset the timer2, but I couldn't see how this affect the WiFi.mode(WIFI_MODE_STA), maybe others could explain why this happen.
