FreeRTOS is not switching context between 2 tasks

[karma_JC]

Hi:

The setup is on MP5748G EVB.  I have setup 2 tasks with same priority using FreeRTOS in debug mode.  I have place 2 breakpoints in 2 different task entries.  Also, each task will blink different user LED on board.

After launched task scheduler, only Task1 is running.  Task2 will not get schedule, or only schedule once at beginning.  I don't see any context switching between 2 tasks being created.  Is there anything wrong????

Hi,

I tried your code on freertos_mpc5748g demo and it seems it is running on MPC5748G EVB. I just added PTG pins in pin_mux component.

Hi Petrs:

I tried again. But, it is not working for me.  I turned the FRZ to 0 as well.  Also, vTaskDelay is not returning as well.  Is there other settings need to take care???

Thanks

Hi,

I just tried your code in demo example, see attached.

Hi PetrS:

I got the task switching work couple days ago on FreeRTOS.  The only thing being changed is FRZ bit which related to VTaskDelay.  I'm not sure this being right solution for this issue.  When I turned off FRZ bit in configuration, everything work fine.

Thanks

James
