I was able to compile, link and run the dsPIC demo on my eval board but cannot get the bare project to compile. Getting error:
In function `prvIdleTask':
C:\FreeRTOS_5.3.1\FreeRTOS\source\tasks.c:1789: undefined reference to `vApplicationIdleHook'

My main code is:

/* Standard includes. */
//#include <stdio.h>

/* Scheduler includes. */
#include "FreeRTOS.h"
#include "task.h"
//#include "queue.h"
//#include "croutine.h"

/*
* Setup the processor ready for the demo.
*/
static void prvSetupHardware( void );

int main( void )
{
/* Configure any hardware required for this demo. */
prvSetupHardware();

/* Create the tasks. */
//xTaskCreate( vCheckTask, ( signed portCHAR * ) "Check", mainCHECK_TAKS_STACK_SIZE, NULL, mainCHECK_TASK_PRIORITY, NULL );

/* Finally start the scheduler. */
vTaskStartScheduler();

/* Will only reach here if there is insufficient heap available to start
the scheduler. */
for (;;);
return 0;
}
/*-----------------------------------------------------------*/

static void prvSetupHardware( void )
{
//vParTestInitialise();
}
/*-----------------------------------------------------------*/

Am I missing something or including something that shouldn't be there?

Thanks!

Sounds like you have configUSE_IDLE_HOOK set to one, and don't have the vApplicationIdleHook function defined. If you don't need the IdleHook function, change configUSE_ILDE_HOOK to 0, if you want to use an IdleHook, you need to define vApplicationIdleHook.

The idle hook gives a good point to put some simple processing that want to run at idle priority without needing to define a task. the IdleHook function can not block, as the Idletask can not block or the kernel crashes with nothing to run. One use I use for the idleHook is to go to sleep mode.

Ah yes. It was right there in front of me and I still missed it. Read the manual, eh?

Thanks very much Richard.
