I put break points on vTaskSuspend( NULL ); function call in prvHighPriorityMutexTask task. press 'go' and then 'step over' and get an error message of illegal instruction. Then, the debugger is stuck.
I have to note that I encountered this problem with that debugger using break points in other places and depending on the time I step over a command, so maybe the problem is with the debugger?
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks.
RE: Debugger stuck Posted by Richard on September 23, 2010 The Open Watcom debugger allows interrupts to execute when you single step an instruction - even when you are in a critical section. This can cause crashes. Could that possible be the cause of your problem?
Regards.
RE: Debugger stuck Posted by child4 on September 23, 2010 Thank you for your quick response.
Does it mean that a context switch occur while I debug? If so, how can I use the debugger ?
RE: Debugger stuck Posted by child4 on September 23, 2010 Except from the clock tick interrupt, what other interrupts can be used in the PC demo exec? (I closed the com test).
