The maximum number of priorities can be defined with configMAX_PRIORITIES in FreeRTOSConfig.h But I don’t think it’s usefull to use more than 5 priorities. And as far as I know: the more priorities the longer the switching time

Saiberian,      Thanks for reply.      I know that but what is max value which we can configure there ? One more thing that I didn’t get any defination tskIDLE_PRIORITY in source code. Can You tell where it is defined or what is it ? Thanks.

I think its an odd question – I don’t see why its useful – but the actually answer is the maximum value a variable of type portBASE_TYPE can hold.  So if portBASE_TYPE is 32bit, this would be 0xffffffff. tskIDLE_PRIORITY is 0, the tsk on the front tells you its defined in task.h.  I’m sure this information is on the WEB site. Regards.
