Tasks not continuously executing and tick count not updating

Use backtrace command on the GDB console.

My backtrace:

0  0xffdf4c3c
1  0xffdf4c20

My debugger console:

Temporary breakpoint 1, main () at …/src/freertos_hello_world.c:57

I believe the code is getting stuck at this line:

        if( listCURRENT_LIST_LENGTH( &( pxReadyTasksLists[ tskIDLE_PRIORITY ] ) ) > ( UBaseType_t ) 1 )
        {
            taskYIELD();
        }

It keeps repeating the taskYIELD() function.

You need to build with debugging symbols. If you are using GCC, provide -g option.

This is Idle task code which means that no other task is ready. Since both your task call vTaskDelay and they are never becoming Ready again, it likely means that the tick interrupt is not firing. Since the IDE generated project does not work, I’d suggest to reach out to the vendor also.
