While I don't have enough information to determine if this is what affected the original reporter, I had an stm32f405 feather that readily reproduced the problem. I eventually discovered that the problem affected me only when I had a program that used canio and was spending all its time waiting in
common_hal_canio_listener_receive
for a packet that never arrived. This was due to missing background task & interrupt key checking in the blocking loop incommon_hal_canio_listener_receive
.I added the extra code to both esp32-s2, samd and st code, but only tested stm32f405 feather.
Closes: #5004
