One thing comes to mind.  Do you have configUSE\_PREEMPTION set to 1 in FreeRTOSConfig.h?  If it is set to 0 then a task switch will only happen if you call taskYIELD() in the implementation of the task.

The one in MPLAB X. > what could be the cause of error I really don’t know.  As I said, the tick interrupt is evidently running so it should not be a problem.  You might want to double check that the tick interrupt really is running by placing a break point in configTICK\_INTERRUPT\_HANDLER(), which is in FreeRTOS/Source/portable/MPLAB/PIC24\_dsPIC/port.c.  You can also step through the function, which should call portYIELD(), which is itself a function you can step through.

You also have configUSE\_16\_BIT\_TICKS, which means the maximum number of ticks you can block for is 0xffff.  With a tick frequency of 10KHz the tick count will overflow every 6 seconds (which doesn’t matter to FreeRTOS). When you replace the loop with vTaskDelay(200); I would expect there to be a minimum of 200 ticks between each increment of a, and I would not expect a to increment more than once before the tick count reached 200 minimum.  If I were to set up a test here again I’m sure that is what I would find as when I replicated your tests yesterday I found everything function as expected, and I could not replicate your results.  Sorry - I don’t know what is wrong with your project, but obviously something quite fundamental.  Maybe it is related to the extremely fast tick you have configured. Maybe as an aside, if you have configTICK\_RATE\_HZ set above 1000 then you cannot use the portTICK\_RATE\_MS constant. Regards. ---
