Hello,

Before i begin i have to say that my english isn't very well.

Ok, i'am working on a project in school, with FreeRTOS on a LPC1768
Stick. I downloaded the Demo from FreeRTOS.org and tried to run it on
the hardware.

By Now i can already execute some demo tasks but not more. (Like switch
a LED on and so on..) But now i want to try the webserver:

But there i have a problem. I call the function xCreateTask(vuIP_Task,
..) but the ethernet ports isn't working at all. I monitor the
connection through wireshark but i get no answer.

I also changed the priority of the uIP Task. But still it doesnt work.

The Debugger enters this function:

if( xSchedulerRunning == pdFalse){
if( pxCurrentTCB->uxPriotizy <= uxPriority){
pxCurrentTCB = pxNewTCB;
}}

So this task(uIP) becomes the currentTask. So i think the task must
start but i doesnt. Is there anything special to config?

And there is another problem maybe it has to do with this. Because when
i click "run" in the debugger and then "stop" it halts in the
HardFaultException or anywhere in the TaskScheduler.

It think i make basically something wrong, i hope thats enough
information for you to help me, but if you need something more i will
post it as soon as possible.

Thanks very much!

Hi Matthias,

I had the same problem (tasks not starting, hardfaulterror...).
On my system the problem was the heap. It was too small to start all the
tasks. You can check if a task is created successfuly by checking the
return value of the createTask function.
I had the problem, that the error happened when creating the idle task.
And the FreeRTOS does not check if the idle task is created properly. So
I was on the search for the error for some time :(...

Maybe this helps.

Ciao
 Dominik

Hello Dominik,

I know this is quite a while ago you write this, but you helped me a
lot. I searched two days for the error till I found your solution with
the heap...

Thanks and have a very nice day!
