I am trying to use _lwmsgq_init(location, num_messages, msg_size) to setup a message queue.
In this case I only need the queue to hold one message at a time and the messages may be a 100+ bytes.
I am using the following to setup the queue:
#define UARTQ_NUM_MESSAGES 1
#define UARTQ_MSG_SIZE 50 //In uint32s, allow for 200 byte messages
#define UARTQ_SIZE ((sizeof(LWMSGQ_STRUCT)/sizeof(_mqx_max_type)) + (UARTQ_NUM_MESSAGES * UARTQ_MSG_SIZE))
uint32_t g_uart_tx_msgq[UARTQ_SIZE];
result = _lwmsgq_init((void*)g_uart_tx_msgq, UARTQ_NUM_MESSAGES, UARTQ_MSG_SIZE);
I seem to have some confusion around the msg_size parameter.
If I use the code above code, it does not work. After receiving a message from the queue the code ends up in the __boot_exception() while(1).
If I set UARTQ_MSG_SIZE to some smaller number (<= 25) and simply allocate the message queue as uint32_t g_uart_tx_msgq[1000], the code runs as expected for messages much larger than 8 bytes.
Is there a limit on the message size for lightweight message queues, or does anyone have other insight into what I am seeing.
Thanks
David
