Freertos stuck in vTaskDelay

hello i’am using FreeRtos API with stm32f4 microcontroller , the program gets stuck when it enters vTaskDelay , when I debug it I see that it is stuck in this line (2588 of tasks.c at function vTaskDelay)
        if( listCURRENT_LIST_LENGTH( &( pxReadyTasksLists[ tskIDLE_PRIORITY ] ) ) > (UBaseType_t ) 1 )
    {
        taskYIELD();
    }

    thaks a lot for your answers

Freertos stuck in vTaskDelay

Hi When I go to line 2588 in tasks.c I see totally different code. Would it be possible for you to download the latest official version from freertos.org (V8.2.3) and try that first? If your code is still simple, you might want to post some code here?

hi , i’m using freeRtos v8.1.2 here is a sample of what i’am triying to do , the code get stuck when it enters the vTaskDelay ~~~~ int main() { rccclkconfig(); // co,figures system clk to run on 100 Mhz gpio_config(); // enable the portD clk SystemCoreClockUpdate(); // updates the system core clk xTaskCreate( vTask1, “Task1”, 150, NULL, 1, NULL ); vTaskStartScheduler(); } // bliking port D void vTask1(void *pv1) { while(1) { GPIOD->BSRRL=GPIO_Pin_12|GPIO_Pin_13|GPIO_Pin_14|GPIO_Pin_15;/// BSRRL = set vTaskDelay((TickType_t)200); GPIOD->BSRRH=GPIO_Pin_12|GPIO_Pin_13|GPIO_Pin_14|GPIO_Pin_15;// BSRRH = reset vTaskDelay((TickType_t)200); } } ~~~~ i have tested that the code before vTaskStartScheduler() runs correctly Thank you verry much for your reply

Are you sure the tick interrupt is executing? If you put a break point in xTaskIncrementTick in FreeRTOS/Source/tasks.c does it ever get hit. Do you have configASSERT defined? http://www.freertos.org/a00110.html#configASSERT

The code of “xTaskIncrementTick “is not reached during the debug session I don’t have a “configASSERT ” according to the link you specified , some functions should be defined inside a new file called “applicationdefinedprivileged_functions.h “, can you please specifie for me what are these functions and how to do this Thanks a lot

The code of “xTaskIncrementTick “is not reached during the debug session
That will be why the delay function doesn’t return. It doesn’t sound like your tick interrupt is executing, and if the tick interrupt is not executing then time stands still – hence the delay never expires.
I don’t have a “configASSERT ”
It is always recommended to have configASSERT() defined when developing. It can find an error in seconds that could otherwise take weeks – I can’t put it any more clearly than that. It is also best to have the latest version of FreeRTOS as we add more configASSERT() statements to assist people.

Not sure what you mean here – I thought I had sent a link to the configASSERT() description on the configuration web page, nothing about privileged functions.

yes i can see it is defined in freeRTOSconfig.h as follows : ~~~~

define configASSERT( x ) if( ( x ) == 0 ) { taskDISABLE_INTERRUPTS(); for( ;; ); }

~~~~ how should i use it to know the reason why tick interrupt is not executing . Thanks a lot for your replies .

Have you installed the FreeRTOS interrupt handlers? See point (1) on the following page: http://www.freertos.org/FAQHelp.html If you are using STM32 cube then it may have its own systick handler, but that should be calling the FreeRTOS one. Did you create the project yourself, or did the cube software create it for you?

hi this was so much helpfull in fact i’ve been working with the FreeRTOSConfig.h generated with stmcube and the following was commented , I decommented it now everything is working fine thankyou ~~~~ /* IMPORTANT: This define MUST be commented when used with STM32Cube firmware, to prevent overwriting SysTickHandler defined within STM32Cube HAL */ /* #define xPortSysTickHandler SysTickHandler*/ ~~~~
