Hello, I have just started using freertos on a 9S08(GT60) using CW 6.2.

This is what I have:

3 tasks + 1 idle task.

Task1 : blocks for 100 ms using Vdelayuntil(). priority( idle+1)

Taks2: blocks for 50 ms using Vdelayuntil(). priority(idle+2)

Task3: blocks for a binary semaphore. priority(idle+3)

The semaphore is given by an interrupt generated by ( tim1 channel 1) every 100 ms. The interrupt rate is 10ms, and the TICKS_TO_WAIT is set to 10.

The RTOS tick is set at 1ms using tim1 channel 0 .



The problem:

When I have all three tasks running, the tasks are NOT running at their specified repeat rates. ( its all over the place).I am toggling an output pin in each of the tasks to determine the timing.

If I remove task2, then task1 and task3 run at the specified repeat rates.



Will appreciate any help/hints to this problem.





Thanks!!

Lav

There is no official 9S08 port so people are not going to be able to help you with the port itself, which may not be working correctly. If you can repost your code with a tab in front of every line then the forum will display it in a readable way and you may get some suggestions about the task implementation.
