Hi all,

I just want to flash a LED on a small STM32F103C8T6 dev board,but FAULT with “HardFault_Handler”.

Could someone provide samples or how to fix the Fault?

Thanks for help in advance.

Just a guess, are you missing the following defines ?

/* Definitions that map the FreeRTOS port interrupt
handlers to their CMSIS standard names. */
#define vPortSVCHandler SVC_Handler
#define xPortPendSVHandler PendSV_Handler
// Don't think the following is necessary:
//#define xPortSysTickHandler SysTick_Handler

Regards.

Can you say at what point the hard fault occurs?

It looks like you are using a very old version of FreeRTOS! I would recommend updating to the latest to get the benefit of additional assert statements, then ensure configASSERT() is defined.

Also, it does not look like you are performing any hardware setup before running the application. In particular, on STM32 devices you need to call NVIC_PriorityGroupConfig( NVIC_PriorityGroup_4 ); before the RTOS is started. See RTOS for ARM Cortex-M

Just a guess, are you missing the following defines ?

From the code it looks like the vectors are being installed directly, so those lines would not be needed.
