I have a STM32F103C86T with PL2303 to communicate over Serial. I have to implement STM32FreeRTOS but I’m having issues after I call vTaskStartScheduler() in my code. Whenever I call vTaskStartScheduler() after creating my tasks, onboard led of the STM blinks faster than I decided and stays ON for about 3 seconds then starts to blink again. While this happening, my tasks aren’t working at all.
I was trying to test the original example blink code right from GitHub but I couldn’t find a proper solution. Also, even I remove all the led codes from the example (including pinMode()), led still blinks.

while (!Serial) {
; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for native USB, on LEONARDO, MICRO, YUN, and other 32u4 based boards.

Blink
Turns on an LED on for one second, then off for one second, repeatedly.
Most Arduinos have an on-board LED you can control. On the UNO, LEONARDO, MEGA, and ZERO
it is attached to digital pin 13, on MKR1000 on pin 6. LED_BUILTIN takes care
of use the correct LED pin whatever is the board used.
The MICRO does not have a LED_BUILTIN available. For the MICRO board please substitute
the LED_BUILTIN definition with either LED_BUILTIN_RX or LED_BUILTIN_TX.
e.g. pinMode(LED_BUILTIN_RX, OUTPUT); etc.
If you want to know what pin the on-board LED is connected to on your Arduino model, check
the Technical Specs of your board at https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Products
This example code is in the public domain.

AnalogReadSerial
Reads an analog input on pin 0, prints the result to the serial monitor.
Graphical representation is available using serial plotter (Tools > Serial Plotter menu)
Attach the center pin of a potentiometer to pin A0, and the outside pins to +5V and ground.

for (;;)
{
// read the input on analog pin 0:
int sensorValue = analogRead(A0);
// print out the value you read:
Serial.println(sensorValue);

}
}
I’d like to hear some ideas about it.
Thank you in advance,
