Dear all, I want to run FreeRTOS on my MSP430 platform, but I have a problem. I downloaded FreeRTOS and tried to start demo project for IAR, but it seems I have older version of IAR which can not start demo project. Than I tried to make project myself from source code files. I have added all files into my project and tried to compile it. But linker says that it can not find references to functions which are used for creating tasks on specific port. One of the functions is called something like vPortMalloc..... Please help ! Thanks in advance. --------------------------------------- This message was sent using the comp.arch.embedded web interface on http://www.EmbeddedRelated.com

I have checked all include statements(at least I think I checked them all) and change them in #include "xxxxx". As far I can remember I didn't include any of those heap.c files, but I have included files from source/portable/iar/msp430 folder ....... I am wondering if there is some step by step instruction for starting FreeROS on MSP430 using IAR... --------------------------------------- This message was sent using the comp.arch.embedded web interface on http://www.EmbeddedRelated.com

How to write ISR for MSP430 using IAR and FreeRTOS. I tried to use #pragma directive but it not works. The problem is that there is no examples of ISR interacting with FreeRTOS. I looked for TickISR in FreeRTOS and it is written in assembly, and I would like to write my ISR in C...

Generally GCC is the only compiler that allows the whole thing to be done in C *if* you want the ISR to be able to cause a context switch. -- Regards, Richard. + http://www.FreeRTOS.org Designed for Microcontrollers.

The problem is it has only 1KB of RAM. I tried to run FreeRTOS on MSP430f449 and it works, but when I try to run it on MSP430f2274 FreeRTOS it can't allocate memory for tasks. I had to reduce size of heap because of its small RAM but when I do that I have a problem with memory allocation. I am using IAR workbench.... Please help ...
