Hi everyone,
I’m trying to run FreeRTOS on a Nios 2 processor without success.
I’m using Quartus Prime v16.1, and my hardware layer is composed by:
1 Nios 2 gen 2 CPU;
1 JTAG
1 UART
1 timer interval (named sys_clk)
1 onchip memory module
1 parallel led interface
I generate the .sopcinfo thorugh QSYS and Quartus, then I create e new bsp from eclipse by using the altera HAL type. After that, I change ENHANCED interrupt with LEGACY one.
Finally a new blank project was created on the previous generated bsp.
Now the FreeRTOS release is copied inside the Eclipse project, all files are linked and compiled.
I try to run a simple task by driving two leds, but the FreeRTOS is not running. All leds are fixed and the system seems freezed.
Have you tryied to run FreeRTOS on Nios processor?
Thank you.
