freeRTOS + JPEG DMA encoding problem

Hi,

I am using STM32F7-Discovery board. I've written my project in freeRTOS. The JPEG DMA encoding is implemented the same way as in HAL examples.

Everything works fine until I will change freeRTOS heap size. In this case JPEG file size is much bigger than the 'correct one' and it is demaged.

There is a preview in attachments:

OK ONE  - filesize [216KB]

BAD ONE - filesize [318KB]

Is a heap-size has an influence on DMA process? Did I forget about something?

Thanks in advice.

Hi Pawel,

I'm having the same issue as you. I'm using STM32F767IG with FreeRTOS and no matter what i do I can't get the correct JPEG file. I tried to diagnose the problem with JPEGSnoop diagnostic software and i get the following error:

*** Marker: SOS (Start of Scan) (xFFDA) ***

OFFSET: 0x0000024F

Scan header length = 12

Number of img components = 3

Component[1]: selector=0x01, table=0(DC),0(AC)

Component[2]: selector=0x02, table=1(DC),1(AC)

Component[3]: selector=0x03, table=6(DC),11(AC)

ERROR: SetDhtTables(comp=3, TblDC=6 TblAC=11) out of indexed range

Spectral selection = 3 .. 107

Successive approximation = 0x00

Did you manage to solve your problem? Does it have something to do with the Errata sheet section 2.13.1 (
