PIC32 Core Timer and xTimerCreate()

The reason the interrupts are disabled is that it is an error for an ISR to attempt a scheduler operation before it is started, so as a preventive measure, they are disabled in many FreeRTOS functions called before the scheduler is started.

FreeRTOS disables interrupts of priority up to configMAX_SYSCALL_INTERRUPT_PRIORITY. The OP said that the timer interrupt’s priority is higher than configMAX_SYSCALL_INTERRUPT_PRIORITY, so either the timer interrupt’s priority is changed elsewhere or interrupts are disabled elsewhere.
