I just tried a clean build using PIC32-gcc V3.4.4 and MPLAB V8.14 and did not get any problems. Did you change anything at all from the demo provided in the download? Did anything unexpected happen when you opened the workspace? (file not found for example). Did you open the Workspace or the Project?  (the Workspace is the correct thing to open). -——————————————————————— Debug build of project `C:EDevFreeRTOSWorkingCopy2DemoPIC32MX_MPLABRTOSDemo.mcp’ started.

Your output say "This appears to be a limited version of the C32 compiler.  (Consider this when interpreting error messages.) Link step failed." Did you register to get the full free version of C32.

Did you register to get the full free version of C32.  ???? How do I do that?

The original versions of C32 used to be very restricted until you registered.  Once registered the restrictions were removed (for a time anyway).  As far as I know the latest versions of C32 don’t have this requirement and I cannot see anything on the Microchip WEB site that indicates otherwise. I don’t seem to have any special linker script options set. I do see that I compiled with -O3 optimisation on, can you try the same to see if its simply a code size issue (the obvious thing of course). Regards.

Hi Richard, I tried to reinstall the compiler and now everything works. Strange. Everything before was just plain  vanilla from the installation CD that came with the PIC32MX starter kit.  Oh well I have had poblems with the installs from Microchip before… Will use FreeRTOS for the first time on a real project. I’m one of the survivers of the PIC32MX challange contest and will use it for my SweetBox design (http://mypic32.com/web/guest/contestantsprofiles?profileID=43308) and probably later for all stuff at http://www.vscp.org Thanks for your kind help. Keep up the good work! Cheers /Ake

Excellent – good luck in the competition! Regards.
