I'd like to know if you can help me. I port the new free rtos version in a new Cortex-M3 project in IAR. There is no call in my created task and it is stalled in vPortStartFirstTask()
vPortStartFirstTask /* Use the NVIC offset register to locate the stack. */ ldr r0, =0xE000ED08 ldr r0, [r0] ldr r0, [r0] /* Set the msp back to the start of the stack. */ msr msp, r0 /* Call SVC to start the first task. */ svc 0 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< STOP HERE
What does it mean?
Thanks
RE: Port 5.20 Free RTOS in CortexPosted by MEdwards on May 7, 2009 Check the vector table, do you have vPortSVCHandler installed as the SVC handler? Look at the file startup_ewarm.c in Demo\CORTEX_LM3Sxxxx_IAR_Keil for an example.
RE: Port 5.20 Free RTOS in CortexPosted by Christian on May 7, 2009 Yes I have this handler in the vector. I wonder if global interrupts are disabled!
Regards
RE: Port 5.20 Free RTOS in CortexPosted by MEdwards on May 7, 2009 Interrupts should be disabled at that point, the svc instruction is synchronous and will execute even when interrupts are disabled.
RE: Port 5.20 Free RTOS in CortexPosted by ComCle on June 10, 2009 I got the same problem with 5.30 of Free RTOS. The vector table looks like this:
__attribute__ ((section(".isr_vector"))) void (* const g_pfnVectors[])(void) = { (void (*)(void))((unsigned long)pulStack + sizeof(pulStack)), // The initial stack pointer ResetISR, // The reset handler NmiSR, // The NMI handler FaultISR, // The hard fault handler IntDefaultHandler, // The MPU fault handler IntDefaultHandler, // The bus fault handler IntDefaultHandler, // The usage fault handler 0, // Reserved 0, // Reserved 0, // Reserved 0, // Reserved vPortSVCHandler,// SVCall handler IntDefaultHandler, // Debug monitor handler 0, // Reserved xPortPendSVHandler, // The PendSV handler xPortSysTickHandler, // The SysTick handler IntDefaultHandler, // GPIO Port A
...
It should work, but cpu stucks at svc command in vPortStartFirstTask. Can anyone help?
RE: Port 5.20 Free RTOS in CortexPosted by ComCle on June 17, 2009 OK, i found the Problem with SVC Command in the Cortex-M3.
It is a general problem while debugging with GDB and openocd. During Step-wise debugging, interrupts are disabled. SVC command causes an interrupt, so the command doesn't work during stepping.
I found several suggestion in openOCD forums that i should enable interrupts again with "monitor cortex_m3 maskisr off" in the gdb console. This didn't work.
After 2 days of searching a solution, it has shown that the problem was a wrong openOCD and GDB configuration. (It seems that 99% all problems are openOCD config problems)
Now i use openocd from the YAGARTO Homepage ( r1888+patch) with the following openocd Configuration files: interface/luminary.cfg target/lm3s6965.cfg, and following Startup code for GDB:
target extended-remote localhost:3333 monitor soft_reset_halt load break main continue
Every works now. After startup troubles, the Luminary Cortex-M3 µCs + Codesourcery Lite + FreeRTOS + openOCD + Eclipse works great.
