PROCESSOR-SDK-AM68A: FreeRTOS Idle task

Matthew Brown

Tool/software:

Hi, I'm using TI FreeRTOS on a C7x DSP core. I'm up and running but I want to make use of the idle task hook. In the FreeRTOS docs I see that vApplicationIdleHook() can be added to the project to run user code in the idle task. However, the TI implementation of FreeRTOS seems to already have vApplicationIdleHook in it. I get an error that vApplicationIdleHook is already defined in ti.kernel.freertos.ae71. My question is how can I use the FreeRTOS idle task hook in my own project code?

Thanks,

Matt

Could you please modify the vApplicationLoadHook() function based on your project need.

<pdk>/packages/ti/osal/src/freertos/LoadP_freertos.c

Thanks,
I see the function to be called by the idle hook.

Maybe its documented somewhere, but how do I go about rebuilding this once I change the file?

Hi Karthik,
Since I'm on Windows I tried to use 'gmake'

I added gmake to my system path (C:\ti\ccs1220\xdctools_3_62_01_16_core) and ran 'gmake -s osal BOARD=j721s2_evm' and got an error back "No rule to make target 'osal'

I also tried gmake -s all BOARD=j721s2_evm and got back:
C:\ti\pdk_j721s2_09_01_00_22\packages\ti\build>gmake -s all BOARD=j721s2_evm
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, c:/ti/ccs1120/ccs/utils/cygwin/echo ------------------------------------------------------, ...) failed.
make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.
gmake: *** [makefile:158: version] Error 2

Is it trying to run 'make' even though this is on Windows?
Is it a problem using Windows for this? Even just using "gmake -s help" doesn't work.
If not, what am I doing wrong, or do I need to do more setup somewhere?

Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt,

We don't support building all modules from SDK in windows platforms.

Please refer to SDK documentation for more details about what all modules supports building in windows platfirm and what not.
