Hello. I’d like to know witch families of MSP430 are supported by freeRTOS.

I have a MSP430F2274 model.

There are projects provided for MSP430F449 (MSP430 core) and MSP430F5438 (MSP430X core, small/medium/large models).  As both the MSP430 and MSP430X cores are supported you should be able to create a project for any device that has enough RAM.

Regards.

I think freeRTOS 7 can support upto the 5xx series of msp430.
I am using msp430f5418 with freeRTOS 7.
the 7th version can also support the large and medium data models.
since you are using 2xx, you might not need these data models.

FreeRTOS 6 had support for 4xx devices but it lacks support for large and medium data models

So may be you can use either FreeRTOS 6 or 7 with some modifications for your specific device…

Very new to Free RTOS and using the MSP430F5438

Installed CCS4 and FreeRTOS Demo to C:\FreeRTOS\Demo\MSP430X_MSP430F5438_CC4
per the instructions.  Problem is it does not make “out of the box”

When I attempt to build it failed when linking see the final message below:

“…/lnk_msp430f5438a.cmd”
<Linking>
error: output file “RTOSDemo.out” exceeds code size limit
error: errors encountered during linking; “RTOSDemo.out” not built

>> Compilation failure
gmake: ***  Error 1
gmake: Target `all’ not remade because of errors.
Build complete for project RTOSDemo

Thanks for any help you can provide….gordon

You are using an evaluation version of the compiler that will not build a project that is more than a few K in size. It is a tool error, not an rtos error.

gmake: ***  Error 1
gmake: Target `all’ not remade because of errors.

So you are using an evaluation of the compiler with a make file instead of the IDE. I’m guessing you didnt buy it.
