Hi

I'm debugging a new project which runs with FreeRTOS and have got an problem during debugging the source.

Problem:
Everytime I set a breakpoint in one task, there are three taks running (quasi-)parallel, it stops there and next time never gets to this BP again. When I stop the application I see, that the vApplicationStackOverflowHook()-function was called. The other 2 tasks are still running fine. But the task I want to debug, is now in the endless-for-loop..

I can also do the same with one of the two other running tasks, which also stops then after reaching the overflow-function..

Any suggestions?

Best regards
Patrick

“Any suggestions?”

Yes - tell us which chip and compiler you are using.

Omg ... bad job from my side to forget it.

I use MCF52259 (on MCF52259EVB) from Freescale. IDE CW 10.1, I use the included Coldfire-Compiler there.

The code I use is the following:

#define Queue_Active 0

unsigned int counter;
unsigned int counter_T2;
xQueueHandle xQueue1;


static portTASK_FUNCTION(vMainTask, pvParameters) {
const portTickType xDelay = 2/portTICK_RATE_MS;
portTickType xActual = 0;

#if Queue_Active 
counter = 0;
xQueue1 = xQueueCreate(4, sizeof(unsigned int));

if(xQueueSend(xQueue1,&counter,10) != pdPASS ){
portNOP();
}
#endif

for(;;){
xActual = xTaskGetTickCount();
vTaskDelayUntil(&xActual,xDelay);
#if Queue_Active 
portENTER_CRITICAL();
#endif
Bit1_NegVal();
#if Queue_Active 
xQueueReceive(xQueue1,&counter,1);
counter++;
xQueueSend(xQueue1,&counter,1);
counter = 0;
portEXIT_CRITICAL();
#endif
}
}


static portTASK_FUNCTION(vMainTask2, pvParameters) {
const portTickType xDelay = 2/portTICK_RATE_MS;

for(;;){
vTaskDelay(xDelay);
#if Queue_Active 
portENTER_CRITICAL();
#endif
Bit2_NegVal();
#if Queue_Active 
xQueueReceive(xQueue1,&counter_T2,1);
counter_T2++;
xQueueSend(xQueue1,&counter_T2,1);
counter_T2 = 0;
portEXIT_CRITICAL();
#endif
}
}


static portTASK_FUNCTION(vMainTask3, pvParameters) {
const portTickType xDelay = 10/portTICK_RATE_MS;

for(;;){
vTaskDelay(xDelay);
Bit3_NegVal();
}
}

I already tried to increase stack ov all and of certain tasks (from standard 600 to 2.4k) but without success.

Thx!
