STM32F107VC demo goes off to nowhere in vTaskStartScheduler()!

Folks,

I’ve just compiled the officially supported demo for the STM32F107VC. This one:

http://www.freertos.org/FreeRTOS-For-STM32-Connectivity-Line-With-WEB-Server-Example.html

Using Rowley Crossworks.

It compiled with a couple of tweaks to correct \ for / in the user directories and I had to add an extra one.

It loads, but once it gets into vTaskStartScheduler() it jumps off somewhere funky (in the 0x1FFFC9xx area of memory. If I set a breakpoint in vTaskStartScheduler() and do a step into with the debugger, it acts like I have hit F5 to start running again. ie It won’t let me debug.

I can set the breakpoint in vTaskStartScheduler() all the way down to:

if( xPortStartScheduler() != pdFALSE )

However, if I set the breakpoint above there and try a single step, it does this restarting of the debugger as if it were running the program.

Anyone seen anything like this before? Never come across the debugger doing this on a run-to-complete program, let alone other version of FreeRTOS I’ve used!

Thanks :slight_smile:
