Hi All,
We are using FreeRTOS V10.2.1. We have observed that sometimes during osKernelStart call, HardFault_Handler occurs when xPortPendSVHandler is called.
void xPortPendSVHandler( void )
{
/* This is a naked function. */
__asm volatile
(
" mrs r0, psp \n"
" isb \n"
" \n"
" ldr r3, pxCurrentTCBConst \n" /* Get the location of the current TCB. */
" ldr r2, [r3] \n"
" \n"
" tst r14, #0x10 \n" /* Is the task using the FPU context? If so, push high vfp registers. */
" it eq \n"
" vstmdbeq r0!, {s16-s31} \n"
" \n"
" stmdb r0!, {r4-r11, r14} \n" /* Save the core registers. */
" str r0, [r2] \n" /* Save the new top of stack into the first member of the TCB. */
" \n"
" stmdb sp!, {r0, r3} \n"
" mov r0, %0 \n"
" cpsid i \n" /* Errata workaround. */
" msr basepri, r0 \n"
" dsb \n"
" isb \n"
" cpsie i \n" /* Errata workaround. */
" bl vTaskSwitchContext \n"
" mov r0, #0 \n"
" msr basepri, r0 \n"
" ldmia sp!, {r0, r3} \n"
" \n"
" ldr r1, [r3] \n" /* The first item in pxCurrentTCB is the task top of stack. */
" ldr r0, [r1] \n"
" \n"
" ldmia r0!, {r4-r11, r14} \n" /* Pop the core registers. */
" \n"
" tst r14, #0x10 \n" /* Is the task using the FPU context? If so, pop the high vfp registers too. */
" it eq \n"
" vldmiaeq r0!, {s16-s31} \n"
" \n"
" msr psp, r0 \n"
" isb \n"
" \n"
#ifdef WORKAROUND_PMU_CM001 /* XMC4000 specific errata workaround. */
#if WORKAROUND_PMU_CM001 == 1
" push { r14 } \n"
" pop { pc } \n"
#endif
#endif
" \n"
" bx r14 \n"
" \n"
" .align 4 \n"
"pxCurrentTCBConst: .word pxCurrentTCB \n"
::"i"(configMAX_SYSCALL_INTERRUPT_PRIORITY)
);
}
After debugging the code HardFault_Handler is triggered in instruction
vstmdbeq r0!, {s16-s31}
as r0 is zero. r0 is set to have value of psp, which is also zero.
psp is getting the value in vPortSVCHandler, but xPortPendSVHandler is called before vPortSVCHandler.
When everything works ok we can see that vPortSVCHandler is called before xPortPendSVHandler .
Is there some configuration or other cause why would xPortPendSVHandler be called before vPortSVCHandler.
Thanks,
Petar Kovacevic
