Hi,

I am new to FreeRTOS and I am triyng to run the examples from the Practical Guide but I have some problems:

1. The port for CVAVR comes with a Demo for the ATmega128 that runs perfectly.
2. After reading the Practical Guide and the API functions, I tried to run the Example 6. To do so, I followed the tips of appendix 4 “Creating a FreeRTOS Project”. So I used the Demo as a base to run example 6.
3. The compile and build of example 6 was OK but only the “continuous task 1” runs.

Any help is welcome

I would guess that the tick interrupt was not running.  Can you place a break point in the tick interrupt to see if it ever executes?

I’m not sure which compiler you are using (CVAVR?), but an easy way to check this that would work with any port is to place the break point in vTaskIncrementTick() within tick.c.

Regards.

The compiler is CodeVisionAVR from HP Info Tech (http://www.hpinfotech.ro/html/download.htm) .  The port is for FreeRTOS V5.2.0.

Where is vTaskIncrementTick() in the files and directories structure of FreeRTOS? I do not find it nor tick.c.

The Demo runs OK, so why the tick interrupt do not work for example 6 ?

Output from example 6:

Continuous task 1 running

Continuous task 1 running

Continuous task 1 running …
