I’m using GCC on a Cortex-M4F (LPC43xx family).
I need more than the 3 configurable MPU regions for this port. I decided to do away with the privileged flash area because I don’t need it (privileged background map is enabled and my unprivileged flash area does not reach there, so privileged accesses are enabled by default and unprivleged accesses are blocked).
What I did:
- added the fourth area to all my task parameters (all tasks are created using xTaskCreateRestricted);
- took out the lines setting portMPU_REGION_BASE_ADDRESS_REG and portMPU_REGION_ATTRIBUTE_REG for the privileged flash area in prvSetupMPU (mpu/port.c);
- changed a few lines at the start of mpu/portmacro.h from
#define portUNPRIVILEGED_FLASH_REGION ( 0UL )
#define portPRIVILEGED_FLASH_REGION ( 1UL )
#define portPRIVILEGED_RAM_REGION ( 2UL )
#define portGENERAL_PERIPHERALS_REGION ( 3UL )
#define portSTACK_REGION ( 4UL )
#define portFIRST_CONFIGURABLE_REGION ( 5UL )
#define portLAST_CONFIGURABLE_REGION ( 7UL )
to
#define portUNPRIVILEGED_FLASH_REGION ( 0UL )
#define portPRIVILEGED_RAM_REGION ( 1UL )
#define portGENERAL_PERIPHERALS_REGION ( 2UL )
#define portSTACK_REGION ( 3UL )
#define portFIRST_CONFIGURABLE_REGION ( 4UL )
#define portLAST_CONFIGURABLE_REGION ( 7UL )
What did not work: the fourth area is never set (whatever region I put there does not get activated).
I checked portNUM_CONFIGURABLE_REGIONS, it’s obviously 4 instead of 3 now. I looked at the FreeRTOS code and the fourth region should be working, I have no idea why it’s not. I appreciate any help.
