Hello,

I'm working on a STM32F407 Discovery board with CubeMX and AC6 Toolchain and I just started using FreeRTOS in my applications. When I try to generate a project within CubeMX after peripheral setup I get this warning:

''It is strongly recommended to use a timebase source other then the SysTick when FreeRTOS is used. The timebase source can be changed from the Pinout tab under SYS''

What's the meaning of this warning?

Then, if I try to set up a timebase source different from SysTick, I don't know how to configure it.

Can someone help me?

Thanks.

Hi aa.andrea,

I recommend you to have a look to the FreeRTOS middleware configuration view section in the UM1718 user manual.
