Hi I am a beginner with Free RTOS
I am using the STM32F407 which is configured with the cube.
Free RTOS version is v8.2.3.
I am using IAR version 7.70.1
I have a simple program as my first experiment on Free RTOS.
Basically I have a hardware timer that acts as a ticker.Around every 15ms the timer overruns and trigs an interrupt.
Said interrupt enables a flag in a group event .(Of course since I enable this flag in a ISR I am using xEventGroupSetBitsFromISR())Then my only task ,which is blocked on the same flag that the ticker enables, gets unblocked and clears the flag in the event group.
Here is my timer interrupt callback:
if (htim->Instance == TIM2)
{
ucTest = 0;
HAL_GPIO_TogglePin(GPIOB,GPIO_PIN_14); //For testing purposes
xHigherPriorityTaskWoken = pdFALSE;
ucTest = xEventGroupSetBitsFromISR(eghtasktrig,( const EventBits_t)0x4,&xHigherPriorityTaskWoken);
if(ucTest != pdFAIL)
{
portYIELD_FROM_ISR(xHigherPriorityTaskWoken);
}
}
Here is my Task:
void tPingScanningTask(void *pvParameters)
{
char i;
BaseType_t ucScanOn = 0;
int iTestFlag;
eghtasktrig = xEventGroupCreate();
for(;;)
{
if(ucScanOn == 0)
{
ucScanOn = xEventGroupWaitBits(eghtasktrig,(const EventBits_t)FLAG_TICKER,pdTRUE,pdTRUE,portMAX_DELAY);
ucScanOn &= 0x04;
}
if(ucScanOn != 0)
{
//Planning to do an action each time the ticker trigs this task here
ucScanOn = 0;
}
}
vTaskDelete( NULL );
}
My problem is that ,when running the debugger, the program hangs in xEventGroupSetBits()
More precisly it hangs on: configASSERT(( uxBitsToSet & eventEVENT_BITS_CONTROL_BYTES ) == 0);
At first i thought I simply had input a wrong variable as uxBitsToSet but on closer inspection it seems that the program runs 3 times past this ASSERT without any issues but on its 4th try it doesnt pass the ASSERT.
What I know is that the programs hangs when it exits the interrupt and when the Daemon task preempts the os to execute the EventGroupSetBits (resquested in the ISR).On the three first tries uxBitsToSet keeps the value that I had set to in the timer callback,which in this case is 0x04, and succesfully unblocks the task, but when i look at its value on the 4th try ,in the debugger, its now at 0xAC8.
The the program hangs on the ASSERT mentionned before.
The Daemon task does have the highest priority amongst all my tasks.
Can the Daemon task change uxBitsToSet value ?
Is it possible that another interrupt overwrites data and accidentally writes to the adress of uxBitsToSet ?
Thus changing its value.
I have tried to enable the flag using the none-ISR fonction xEventGroupSetBits() and I’ve had no issues.
Which tells me I probably have an ISR conflict.
The only other interrupt that I have is for Timer 14 which is enabled and used by the HAL as a timebase but that is all configured by the cube.
I have looked at the Event group demo and compared to my code and haven’t found major differences.
I have checked my configuration file multiples times and havent found any issues.(Considering I am a beginner there is a good chance that I overlooked something)
Here is my Free RTOS config :
