Hello,
it seems that, in FreeRTOS v9.0.0, at least KEIL (RVDS) Cortex-M4 RT kernel port requires core to feature floating-point unit (FPU):
FreeRTOSv9.0.0FreeRTOSSourceportableRVDSARMCM4MPU
FYI, FPU is an optional feature of Cortex-M4. For instance, our SAM4C device (from Atmel now Microchip) is a dual-core device which only secondary core features FPU.
None of our customers who use KEIL can use FreeRTOS due to this.
Can KEIL use FreeRTOS on Cortex-M4 devices that don't have an FPU?
Kind regards,
Daniel
If you use FreeRTOS on a Cortex-M3, or a Cortex-M4 that does not have an FPU, then use the port layer files from FreeRTOS/source/portable/[compiler]/ARM_CM3
If you use FreeRTOS on a Cortex-M4 that does have an FPU (or likewise M7), then use the port layer files from FreeRTOS/source/portable/[compiler]/ARM_CM4F
FPU support is the only difference between the two.
