Task Not Starting

Hello, I thought there was a recent post about tasks not starting in certain conditions – I saw the one regarding the queue fix – but has there been any other problems in the recent past? I looked through the forum back through July and didn’t see anything – and did a search but the search comes up with a lot of hits when you use the word ‘task’. I’m seeing a condition where vPortYield runs once, and that’s it.  That particular task never runs again.  I just see the IDLE task running after that.  I only have the IDLE task and a ‘test’ task running since I’m debugging some stack issues. Thanks, John W.

Task Not Starting

Is this using the MSP430?  I know you are an expert on the RTOS so don’t want to ask obvious questions, but are you positive that the tick interrupt is running?

Task Not Starting

Hello Dave, I appreciate the accolades. Yes, the timer2ISR is running – this is for the 8051/8052 C8051F120. I thought there had been some posts in the recent past about tasks not running – maybe this only had to do with the queue.c fix. I’m running the ‘tip-of-tree’ so to speak – the 4.5.0 preview/prerelease. Curious issue is the timer2ISR runs, but I don’t see the LED task in this case, ever trying to run again.  It’s as if it’s been suspended indefinitely. Thanks, John W.
