FreeRTOS runs slow

kingsob wrote on Wednesday, June 18, 2008:

I am trying to get my WiMi coordinator to run using FreeRTOS, so I am adding all files from my coordinator project into my freertos project (the dsPIC demo)…

everything is going great, until i get to the last file ConfigFuses.c. When I add this file, the project starts to run very slowly… it works… but the lights blink ALOT slower… if i remove this file, it continues to operate slowly… so i assume it is modifying a project setting that it should not be… but i got no idea which one it is

I have tried starting with an empty project, and simply include this file… so im faily confident it is this file causing the problems… and help would be greatly appreciated!

so i have narrowed it down to this one line

_FOSCSEL(FNOSC_PRI); //primary osc

however, my zigbee project does not work when i comment it out…
