    BME680 BSEC Library Failure after ~71 minutes runtime sampling every three seconds

    BME680 BSEC Library Failure after ~71 minutes runtime sampling every three seconds

    Hi, I'm using the latest BSEC Library with the BME680 and STM32L431RCTX MCU. After 4292490ms (~71minutes) runtime with 3 second sampling the library hangs. I've tried the float and non-float libraries, and the same failure happens. Either at calling sleep or after bme680_get_profile_dur, or after calculating time_stamp_interval_ms. I forced values of 2730 and 240 for sleep and found that the failure hangs in the library itself. It appears that there is an issue when the a 32bit counter value rolls over. Up to the hang, the sensor and library appear to be working okay. What may be causing this hang, and how does the library handle a timer tick rollover of a 32bit or 64bit integer? Thanks, Robert

    I got it work.  The problem was in get_timestamp_us().  I needed to promote the return value from 32bit to 64bit.  I added (int64_t) in front the calcuted ms to us value.  That fix the hang at 32 bits.  I'm still cursious if there will be hang at 2^64 like there was at 2^32.   I would like to know how the timestamp roll over is handled in the library.

    Hello rshuler,

    In BSEC reference code, it described timestamp unit should be microseconds with 64 bit. User only need call algorithm library according algorithm's requirement.

    /*!
    * @brief Capture the system time in microseconds
    *
    * @return system_current_time current system timestamp in microseconds
    */
    int64_t get_timestamp_us()
    {
    int64_t system_current_time = 0;
    // ...
    // Please insert system specific function to retrieve a timestamp (in microseconds)
    // ...
    return system_current_time;
    }
