Hi !

I use FreeRTOS 7.6.0 generated by CubeMX 4.9.0 with STM32F303 MCU (ARM CM4F) + IAR 6.50 Compiler.

I send sensor L3DG20_Data struct to queue in timer callback function and try to read it in L3GD20_Thread.
After receive from queue, in gyro_raw_data struct L3GD20_AXIS_Z variable is always 0. iar debugger watch
Another two variables in struct transmitted correctly.
What can be wrong there?

Code:

typedef struct {
i16_t L3GD20_AXIS_X;
i16_t L3GD20_AXIS_Y;
i16_t L3GD20_AXIS_Z;
} AxesRaw_t;

osMessageQId GyroRawDataQueueHandle;
osTimerId GyroTimerHandle;

…

void CallbackGyroTimer(void const * argument);
static void L3GD20_Thread(void const * argument);

…

osTimerDef(GyroTimer, CallbackGyroTimer);
GyroTimerHandle = osTimerCreate(osTimer(GyroTimer), osTimerPeriodic, NULL);

osMessageQDef(GyroRawDataQueue, 16, AxesRaw_t);
GyroRawDataQueueHandle = osMessageCreate(osMessageQ(GyroRawDataQueue), NULL);

…

static void L3GD20_Thread(void const * argument) {
AxesRaw_t gyro_raw_data;
for(;:wink: {

if( GyroRawDataQueueHandle != 0 ) {
xQueueReceive( GyroRawDataQueueHandle, &( gyro_raw_data ), ( portTickType ) 10 );
}

}
}

void CallbackGyroTimer(void const * argument) {
AxesRaw_t L3DG20_Data;

L3GD20_GetAngRateRaw(&hspi1, &L3DG20_Data);
xQueueSendToBack(GyroRawDataQueueHandle, ( void * ) &L3DG20_Data, ( portTickType ) 0);
}

You are declaring an AxedRaw_t structure on the stack, filling it with data, then using xQueueSendToBack() to copy the structure into the queue - that should be fine provided the queue was created so each space in the queue can hold an AxesRaw_t structure. However you are creating the queue using a call to GyroRawDataQueueHandle(), and I have no idea what that is doing as it is not a FreeRTOS function. Can you try using xQueueCreate(), so I can see how the queue is being created, as then if you still have a problem I will be able to advise if the queue is being created correctly for how it is being used.

Regards.

Thank you for reply.

In fact, it’s CubeMX bug. osMessageCreate() always give a 4bytes queue:

If I use xQueueCreate() instead osMessageCreate() (API generated by CubeMX) all data transmitted correctly.
