Hi i am trying to send an array from one task to another task… but it is not working.
here is my pseudo code:

int main(void)
{
  xQueue = xQueueCreate( 2, sizeof(unsigned int) );
  if ((xTaskCreate(vTask0, (const char *)"Task0", configMINIMAL_STACK_SIZE, NULL, tskIDLE_PRIORITY+2, &xHandle) != pdPASS) ||
			  (xTaskCreate(vTask1, (const char *)"Task1", configMINIMAL_STACK_SIZE, NULL, tskIDLE_PRIORITY+2, &xHandle1) != pdPASS))
	  {
		  printf("xTaskCreate() failed to create a task.\n");
	  }
	  else
	  {
		  /* Start scheduler */
		  printf("Starting scheduler.\n");
		  vTaskStartScheduler();
	  }
}

void vTask0(void *pvParameters)
{
	TickType_t xNextWakeTime;
	unsigned int data[2];
	uint16_t samplecount = 0;
	const TickType_t xFrequency =10;
    xNextWakeTime = xTaskGetTickCount();
    while(1)
	{
    	  if (xQueueReceive(xQueue, &data,(portTickType)2))
	      {
	             printf("received = %d \n", data[0]);
	             printf("received1 = %d \n", data[1]);
	      }
          vTaskDelayUntil(&xNextWakeTime, xFrequency);
    }
}

void vTask1(void *pvParameters)
{
	TickType_t xNextWakeTime;
	unsigned int data[2];
	const TickType_t xFrequency = 10;
    xNextWakeTime = xTaskGetTickCount();
    while(1)
    {
    		data[0]=3;
		    data[1]=4;
            xQueueSendToBack(xQueue, &data, 0);
            vTaskDelayUntil(&xNextWakeTime, xFrequency);
    }
  }

Sorry i am new to RTOS, i want to send both data[0] and [1] to another task… if i change the priority it will receive some random number. can anyone tell me what mistake i have done?

xQueueCreate( 2, sizeof(unsigned int) );

This creates a queue where each space can hold 1 unsigned int, so

xQueueSendToBack(xQueue, &data, 0);

sends one unsigned int, not two. Plus you are sending the address of the array not the array contents. Change ‘&data’ to just ‘data’ in both the xQueueReceive and xQueueSendToBack calls.
