FreeRTOS on MSP430FF528 understanding stack management

Yes, I’m using the official FreeRTOS port for the MSP430. I started by developing with the 7.3 version and now I’m trying the newest FreeRTOS 7.6…

I don’t believe that there are any differences between the core (instruction set) of the MSP430F5438 and the MSP430F5528… The MSP430F5438 has more RAM, 16KB compared with the 8KB on the MSP430F5528 I’m using but that should not be a problem.

Another thing I already tried was to use the default linker configuration file “lnk430F5528.xcl” instead of using the one I replicated, adjusting the memory regions, from the demo project provided but I didn’t notice any difference…

I will try to develop a simple application, that we can run from the simulator, that shows this behavior and then I will send it to you…

Thanks a lot…
