Enabling/Disabling Interrupts

Regarding my previous post on the interrupt crashing the FreeRTOS tasks, I went and research on the method used for enabling and disabling interrupts on AEMB through software. There are two simple functions used to do the job, which are portDISABLE_INTERRUPTS() and portENABLE_INTERRUPTS(). These two functions will disable and enable Read more…

Interrupt Behaviour

I would like to look deeper into the application of FreeRTOS interrupts on the latest version of AEMB. It is important to be able to clearly identify the context switching by the interrupt on both threads of AEMB. To look more into the interrupts, the tasks are written with longer Read more…

Different Priorities

The task priority of FreeRTOS is tested on the new AEMB processor. The previous programs tested all contains tasks of equal priorities with the idle task. Therefore, higher priority tasks are to be tested to see their effect on the new AEMB processor. Will the higher priority tasks act independent Read more…
