RTOS/TM4C123GH6PGE: Getting started problem

Is there any problems with the application? We had issues with <Module>_Structs (used in <Module>_construct) in ROV in some releases. Basically you show up as errors before they are initialized (in the <Module>_construct() API). It's not a real error and, while annoying, can be ignored.

Do you have any Semaphore_Structs in your code? Note: some of the TI-RTOS Drivers have them and they show up also.

Hi Todd,

Thanks for the reply.

Application is extremely unstable. It can run, but then adding one extra line of seemingly harmless code will cause a fault that doesn't get trapped and the processor resets.

This shows the tasks that are running. MidiRxTask is blocked on unknown. MidiRxTask simply has UART_read() and was set up as uartParams.readMode = UART_MODE_BLOCKING, so should be blocking there I think.

This shows BIOS errors at this point

This shows the semaphores at this point including the two "error" semaphores

And this shows after processor has reset

I think I will rebuild this project from a previously working project (which is what I did initially), as I don't know where to go with it now.

Thank you for any help you can offer.

Best regards

Richard

It seems that Open_timer() was causing corruption. The timer is now created in the .cfg file and it runs OK. Something still not right though as a simple Semaphore_post() causes a processor reset. I am using CCSv8.3.1, TI-RTOSv 2.16.1.14 and XDCTools v3.32.0.06

I get blockedOn Internal Error like this

then the BIOS erros are...

What has gone wrong - anyone any idea what to do to find out?

Best regards

I've given up with RTOS as it seems too tricky to debug. I've re-written for Tivaware and getting on much better, so this thread can be deleted.

Not to worry Todd, I have two other projects completed very successfully with RTOS which is why I was surprised to get stuck on this one. Anyway I have now recoded using the Tivaware libraries and all is working as expected :)
Thanks for the support anyway.
Best regards,
Richard
