Hi!

I’m running FreeRTOSv8.2.3 on a PIC32MZ. I have code that may run IN or OUTSIDE an ISR context, and I was wondering if there is a way to programmatically discover if the execution is occurring in an ISR context.

Kind regards,
VW

You can always read the info from the hardware registers, but easier:

extern UBaseType_t uxInterruptNesting;
if(uxInterruptNesting==0){
// in task
} else {
// in isr
}
