I’m running a FreeRTOS test application that I’ve written for a Cortex-M3 device.
I’m having an issue where, on starting the scheduler, the SVC instruction at the end of vPortStartFirstTask causes a Hardfault exception.
I have a breakpoint in vPortSVCHandler and I can see that this is never entered: the execution seems to jump straight to the hardfault handler on execution of the ‘svc 0’ instruction at the end of vPortStartFirstTask from portasm.s.
I’ve seen a few descriptions of similar issues, but haven’t yet been able to determine the cause of this. Any help much appreciated.
