Found waker not created by the Embassy executor. embassy_time::Timer only works with the Embassy executor.

[PhaestusFox]

I don't know what I did but my Pico not just crashes with this error any time I try to use a Timer or Ticker, this was working fine this afternoon but stopped after a cargo update.

I have made a minimal example to recreate it:
cargo.toml

[package]
name = "time_test"
version = "0.1.0"
edition = "2021"

# See more keys and their definitions at https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/manifest.html

[dependencies]
embassy-executor = { version = "0.3.0", git = "https://github.com/embassy-rs/embassy", features = ["nightly", "arch-cortex-m", "executor-thread", "executor-interrupt", "defmt", "integrated-timers"]  }
embassy-time = { version = "0.1.5", git = "https://github.com/embassy-rs/embassy", features = ["nightly", "unstable-traits", "defmt", "defmt-timestamp-uptime"]  }
embassy-rp = { version = "0.1.0", git = "https://github.com/embassy-rs/embassy", features = ["defmt", "unstable-traits", "nightly", "unstable-pac", "time-driver", "critical-section-impl"]  }
defmt-rtt = "0.4"
panic-probe = { version = "0.3", features = ["print-defmt"] }
cortex-m-rt = "0.7.0"
cortex-m = { version = "0.7.6", features = ["inline-asm"] }

main.rs

#![no_std]
#![no_main]
#![feature(type_alias_impl_trait)]
use embassy_executor::Spawner;
use embassy_time::{Timer, Duration};
use {defmt_rtt as _, panic_probe as _};
use embassy_rp::{bind_interrupts, pio::InterruptHandler, peripherals::PIO0};

bind_interrupts!(struct Irqs {
    PIO0_IRQ_0 => InterruptHandler<PIO0>;
});

#[embassy_executor::main]
async fn main(_spawner: Spawner) {
    Timer::after(Duration::from_millis(10)).await
}

also have memory.x and build.rs from the pi examples

here is the full error message when I run this using a Pico probe:

I have also encountered this issue. It is fixed if you downgrade to a prior version of Rust nightly. Seems like something changed in the last few days has caused Embassy to crash on start on the RP2040.

Went and narrowed it down. The last working nightly was on the 18th. Should be able to add in the below file to your project root and it should now compile and run correctly.

# Before upgrading check that everything is available on all tier1 targets here:
# https://rust-lang.github.io/rustup-components-history
[toolchain]
channel = "nightly-2023-10-18"
components = [ "rust-src", "rustfmt", "llvm-tools" ]
targets = [ "thumbv6m-none-eabi" ]

This was reported to rustc as rust-lang/rust#117047

[AzazKamaz]

Several alternative ways to fix, in file embassy-executor/src/raw/waker.rs:

• make VTABLE static instead of const - probably proper way to fix
• make VTABLE functions inline(never) - clone(), wake(), drop()
• make functions that refer VTABLE inline(never) - clone(), from_task(), task_from_waker()

Also you can just disable cross-crate inlining with -Zcross-crate-inline-threshold=0 compiler option

[Dirbaio]

fixed in #2112
