MPLAB PIC32MX reserved instruction?

Posted by ulmus on January 4, 2012
Hi! I try to run freeRTOS for the first time, i have main.c as simple as possible:


int main( void )
{
/* Finally start the scheduler. */
vTaskStartScheduler();

/* Will only reach here if there is insufficient heap available to start
the scheduler. */
return 0;
}

void vApplicationStackOverflowHook( void )
{
/* Look at pxCurrentTCB to see which task overflowed its stack. */
for( ;; );
}

but i get exception titled:
EXCEP_RI, // reserved instruction

dissamble looks like:

2120: static void prvCheckTasksWaitingTermination( void )
2121: {
9D002138 27BDFFF8 addiu sp,sp,-8
9D00213C AFBE0000 sw s8,0(sp) <--- exception address points here
9D002140 03A0F021 addu s8,sp,zero
9D002144 03C0E821 addu sp,s8,zero
9D002148 8FBE0000 lw s8,0(sp)
9D00214C 27BD0008 addiu sp,sp,8
9D002150 03E00008 jr ra

Thanx for any advice, i can't start freeRTOS and dont know why.

I think i got answer:
in main() you have to call
INTEnableSystemMultiVectoredInt();
hmm, i googled it but i have also 'Using the freertos' pic32 edition book and in examples from the book there is no call for that function... :(

It sounds like you just haven't set up the CPU, which you would have to do for any application you were writing (although the actual setup required depends on the application).

I suggest starting with an existing FreeRTOS demo application. Several are provided with the book, and there is a more complex example in the main FreeRTOS zip file download. Once you have an existing example compiling, you can leave in any configuration and setup necessary in main (the #pragmas at the top of main, and normally a function called prvSetupHardware()), and edit away the rest and replace it with your code.

Regards.

Thanx, only enable vectored interrupt i was missing:) now all works fine. I have a big application with lots of hardware and now i want to transalte it into freeRTOS app :)
Cross your fingers:)
