Hello all:

I'm just trying to install FreeRTOS on a LPC2368 Development board, and it
doesn't works even when replacing main() function with a simple led example.

My host is an Ubuntu Linux, with a devkitARM toolchain. (Toolchain has been
sucessfully tested, i can compile lots of working examples, leds, serial
ports, timers, and so on)

Steps i did on the ARM7_LPC2368_Eclipse demo:
1) Checked FreeRTOSConfig.h file -> It seems to be expecting a 12Mhz main
OSC, and thats what i have on my board.
Both of the "#define configPINSEL2_VALUE " options tested, none is
working :(.

2) Just following the docs, i've replaced the main() function with my own
main():

int main( void )
{
// Board has 2 leds tied to P3.25 & P3.26, and they are ON when pin is
tied to GND
FIO3DIR=(1<<25) | (1<<26);
FIO3SET=(1<<26);
while (1);
}
Everything builds OK (no errors, no warnings), and i get a RTOSDemo.hex file
wich i upload to the uC using serial ISP using the lpc21isp tool, but the
program isn't running, i don't see the LED (p3.26) ON.

Pd: Same main() test function works fine with my usual test makefile.
Any ideas? Maybe i'm missing any configuration? What can i check?

How can i identify if i have a REV A. version of the LPC2368?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Jorge.

If you have such a simple main() then I would think the problem must be with
either the linker script or startup code.

Can you compare the linker scripts between the demo that works, and your new
project that doesn't. Likewise the linker scripts.

The different revs of the chip can make this a little challenging (I
actually have a rev '-' device that has never missed a beat as far as I can
tell).

Feedback from other people getting the project to work:

- comment out the usbram and ethram sections in the linker script.
- Use the boot.s file from FreeRTOS.org V4.8.0 (this can be obtained from
SourceForge) - although personally I cannot see that anything changed.

Hi,

As suggested here, i have checked the 4.0.8 version of boot.s but it's the
same file wich
comes with the version 5.0.4 version (the only changes are the missing .bss
section lines that i've deleted)

Just deleted the "Clear BSS" section of the boot.s file and now it partially
works.

My leds are now OK, so my main() test function is working, i can
switch leds on/off. But when i uncomment the demo main() it gets stuck on
the
very first API call:

xLCDQueue = xQueueCreate( mainQUEUE_SIZE, sizeof( xLCDMessage ) );
Having a look at my RTOSDemo.map file i can see that sections .data and .bss
look like overlapping.
This is what my .map file looks like:

..
..

.data 0x400008bc 0x0
/opt/devkitpro/devkitARM/lib/gcc/arm-eabi/4.3.0/thumb/libgcc.a(_muldivdf3.o)
.data 0x400008bc 0x0
/opt/devkitpro/devkitARM/lib/gcc/arm-eabi/4.3.0/thumb/libgcc.a(_cmpdf2.o)
.data 0x400008bc 0x0
/opt/devkitpro/devkitARM/lib/gcc/arm-eabi/4.3.0/thumb/libgcc.a(_fixdfsi.o)

/opt/devkitpro/devkitARM/lib/gcc/arm-eabi/4.3.0/../../../../arm-eabi/lib/thumb/libg.a(lib_a-malloc.o)
0x400008bc __data_end__ = .

.bss 0x400008bc 0x737c
0x400008bc __bss_beg__ = .
*(.bss)
.bss 0x400008bc 0x0
../../../Source/portable/GCC/ARM7_LPC23xx/portISR.o
.bss 0x400008bc 0x0 ./webserver/EMAC_ISR.o
.bss 0x400008bc 0x8 main.o
.bss 0x400008c4 0x0 ./ParTest/ParTest.o
.bss 0x400008c4 0x4 ./LCD/portlcd.o
.bss 0x400008c8 0x18 ../../Common/Minimal/BlockQ.o


Can you see things overlapping at address 0x400008bc?? or am i
misunderstanding the .map file?

Thanks for helping :)

Regards,
Jorge.

Hi again,

Just diving into the xQueueCreate() function code i can confirm that it gets
stuck when calling pvportmalloc().

Maybe something wrong with my libc malloc() function? how can i solve this?
My toolchain uses newlibc.

Which heap_x.c file are you including in your project? (there are three
heap_1, heap_2 and heap_3)

Did you say you had removed some section initialisation from the start-up
file? That could cause problems if you have uninitialised variables.

Richard.

Start a New Thread

I'm using heap_2.c (it comes as default on the demo makefile).

Just diving again....i can confirm that it gets stuck at a while loop
located at heap_2.c
on line 193.

This is the loop:

while( ( pxBlock->xBlockSize < xWantedSize ) && (
pxBlock->pxNextFreeBlock ) )
{
pxPreviousBlock = pxBlock;
pxBlock = pxBlock->pxNextFreeBlock;
}

It loops forever....
And yes, i've removed that bss initialization section as Kristiansen
sugested early on this thread. If i don't remove the bss initialization, the
demo simply doesn't work :(.

So ...steps i did so far:

1) Uncompressed the Source and issued a "make" on the lpc2368_Eclipse
demo...
Results: Not working.

2) Commented demo main() function and replaced with some led candy...
Results: Not working

3) As Kristian sugested i deleted de bss init code.
Results: Now my led eye candy works fine!

4) Commented my led test main() function and uncommented the demo main()
function
Results: Demo gets frozen on the while() loop i described before.
Any idea?

You guys are really helping me ...consider yourself "free beer awarded" if
you ever come to spain :)

Regards,

Jorge.

Start a New Thread

If you are not initialising bss then the behaviour you describe makes sense.
If you look in the heap_2 function you will see a static variable
xHeapHasBeenInitialised which should be set to false. If you inspect the
variable on first entry I bet it is not false, so the heap never gets
initialised. Also there are file scope statics that are probably also
wrong.

I think you need to go back a step. First work out why initialising the bss
causes the program to crash, this again points to the linker script.

What I don't understand is why it works fine on my and other peoples
devices, and does not work on others? Is the memory map not the same?

Richard.

Yes, you are right. I'll try to use another bss init routine from a
working crt.s file i have ..

Maybe a toolchain related issue?

Anyway, i don't give up... i love the idea of having a freertos
running on my system.

Hello,

my suggestion about deleting the bss section was strictly meant as a small test - sorry for not making my suggestion more accurate. Richard's point about initialising the bss data area is correct.
The fix that I have used, moving the bss_end line in the lpc23xx.ld file, did make my lpc2387 port run . I think it's worth a try.

Subject: Re: [lpc2000] LPC2368 + FreeRTOS

I'm using heap_2.c (it comes as default on the demo makefile).

Just diving again....i can confirm that it gets stuck at a while loop
located at heap_2.c
on line 193.

This is the loop:

while( ( pxBlock->xBlockSize < xWantedSize ) && (
pxBlock->pxNextFreeBlock ) )
{
pxPreviousBlock = pxBlock;
pxBlock = pxBlock->pxNextFreeBlock;
}

It loops forever....

And yes, i've removed that bss initialization section as Kristiansen
sugested early on this thread. If i don't remove the bss initialization, the
demo simply doesn't work :(.

So ...steps i did so far:

1) Uncompressed the Source and issued a "make" on the lpc2368_Eclipse
demo...
Results: Not working.

2) Commented demo main() function and replaced with some led candy...
Results: Not working

3) As Kristian sugested i deleted de bss init code.
Results: Now my led eye candy works fine!

4) Commented my led test main() function and uncommented the demo main()
function
Results: Demo gets frozen on the while() loop i described before.

Any idea?

You guys are really helping me ...consider yourself "free beer awarded" if
you ever come to spain :)

Regards,

Jorge.
