Segmentation fault on heap_4.c while building for Msp430FR5969 demo

Kernel

Hi,
I am trying to get FreeRTOS working for my development board MSP430FR6989.
As a starting point, I downloaded the latest CCS (11.1.0.00011) and the latest FreeRTOS code from Github (1ce4d784c).

I started by loading the demo (FreeRTOS/Demo/MSP430X_MSP430FR5969_LaunchPad_IAR_CCS) into CCS.

The first problem is that we have to change ParTest.h into partest.h in main.c.

Following that, compilation still fails with the following error:
Building file: “/home/fhof/FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS/Source/portable/MemMang/heap_4.c”

Is there a way to choose a different heap_xyz.c?

Any other advice would be appreciated.

You can use whichever heap implementation you want from FreeRTOS-Kernel/portable/MemMang at main · FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS-Kernel · GitHub - but it looks like the compiler just crashed rather than failed to build the source file.

You really should report the compiler bug to the provider or maybe switch back to the previous, hopefully working version until it’s fixed.

I agree, I realized that overnight.
The concerning part, is that two compilers fail with that specific file.

I will try another heap_xyz.c-file and see if that helps for now.
