Hi

Can you please tell me how can I know if I am in task or ISR ?

Is there an freeRTOS API for this issue ?

Thank You

Michael

You can always query the hardware itself, other than that it depends
which port you are using. If you are using Cortex-M then you can call
xPortIsInsideInterrupt().

I’m using MIPS.

Is the function port_IsInISR() is good for that purpose ?

Thanks

The PIC32 MIPS port? If so you can just check the uxInterruptNesting
variable, which is declared in the port.c file for that port. If its
not zero then you are in an ISR.

But not the M0 port, right?

On the M0 you can query the hardware registers directly to know if you are in an interrupt. The M3/4 ports have a macro in portmacro.h for doing that, can’t remember if the M0 does to, but it is just testing a bit in a register.
