FreeRTOS TCB over written during TI FEE initialization

Hi David,

Could you provide following information?

-Is this happening when the FEE bank does not have any data or is it happening when data is already available in FEE bank.

-Can you send ti_fee_cfg.c and ti_fee_cfg.h files?

-If possible, also send dump of FEE bank data.

I have seen it under both situations, when there is data there and when there is not data there.  I have a bootloader that normally runs on power up and puts some information there.  For not though I am just debugging running only the main app, and the FEE area is all F's, which you can see in the memory dump, assuming I did it correctly.

 

Thanks,
David

Hi David,

Could you attach your project too?

Hi,

I can send the project through a private message, but can't post it because it contains proprietary code. It also may be too big for a private message.

Thanks,
David

Hi David,

Can you send me a HALCogen DIL and HCG files with your project settings? I will check at my end if I can reproduce the issue.

From the data you sent, it seems like you are using a device with 16K FEE memory.

16K FEE memory sounds right. Below are the .hcg and .dil files.

 Below is also my linker file, in case it matters.  I noticed for projects in Halcogen that can configure FreeRTOS, the generates sections in the linker for the kernel, etc.  I didn't originally have these set up when I saw this issue.  Since then I have tried adding them, but I am seeing an abort on startup that I haven't tracked down.  I don't know if it is all related, or if the changes to the linker file are needed or not.  I haven't pursued it further and went back to my original linker file so I am only chasing one issue at a time.  If the linker should be changed to properly incorporate FreeRTOS please let me know.

Thanks,

David

Hi David,
I generated code with the files you have sent. I got compiler error saying vPortYieldProcessor and vPortYieldWithinAPI were not available. I commented them and noticed that TI_Fee_GlobalVairables is at 0x8001500. Can you check in your map file where is TI_Fee_GlobalVairables located?

Hi,

They are probably not available because the FreeRTOS code is not part of the Halcogen generated code.  I don't think the TMS570LS0332 supports FreeRTOS generation in Halcogen.

TI_Fee_GlobalVariables is located at 0x08004334, which is the start of the defined FEE_DATA_SECTION,.

I have attached my map file for your reference.

Thanks,

David
