 In some situations ESP-IDF will temporarily disable access to external SPI Flash and SPI RAM via caches. For example, this happens with spi_flash APIs are used to read/write/erase/mmap regions of SPI Flash. In these situations, tasks are suspended, and interrupt handlers not registered with ``ESP_INTR_FLAG_IRAM`` are disabled. Make sure that any interrupt handlers registered with this flag have all the code and data in IRAM/DRAM. Refer to the :ref:`SPI flash API documentation <iram-safe-interrupt-handlers>` for more details.

+    Memory protection fault
+    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+    {IDF_TARGET_NAME} Permission Control feature is used in ESP-IDF to prevent the following types of memory access:
+
+    * writing to instruction RAM after the program is loaded
+    * executing code from data RAM (areas used for heap and static .data and .bss)
+
+    Such operations are not necessary for most programs. Prohibiting such operations typically makes software vulnerabilities harder to exploit. Applications which rely on dynamic loading or self-modifying code may disable this protection using :ref:`CONFIG_ESP_SYSTEM_MEMPROT_FEATURE` Kconfig option.
+
+    When the fault occurs, the panic handler reports the address of the fault and the type of memory access that caused it.
