stm32CubeMX 6.0.0 FreeRTOS Problem

[Muhammed Güler]

Hello,

I updated to CubeMX 6.0.0 and CMSIS 5.7.0 today.

The code containing FreeRTOS and LwIP, which I previously created with CubeMX 5.6.1, is no longer working.

FreeRTOS gets stuck in vPortValidateInterruptPriority () function in port.c file in about 2 seconds.

I made the priority of my own cuts 5 because it says there is a problem with cuts. but it has not improved.

When I activated FreeRTOS before, interrupt priorities changed automatically. therefore I cannot be sure that all interrupts are at the right priority.

Does anyone have an idea how to fix the problem?

Hi,

Looks like the problem we are having too. It is related to STM32Cube Version 6.0.0.0 not setting IRQ priorities when migrating projects and perhaps never setting them correctly (I have not tried to create new STM32 config with 6.0.0.0).

My issue is reported here:

It seems like this problem happens not only when migrating an old project but also when creating a new one from scratch. FreeRTOS simply doesn't boot.

Creating a barebones project using a STM32F407G-DISC1 board using FreeRTOS and just the default configuration and adding ONLY user code to switch on a LED simply doesn't work. The DefaultThread in the generated code just never starts.

Same attempt using CubeMX 5.6 works perfectly, so it seems like FreeRTOS support on CubeMX 6 is just broken, at least for STM32F40X processors.

This problem seems to be fixed in CubeMX 6.0.1

Dear all,

we are facing same issue (if I am not wrong) with STM32F769i-DISC1 with CubeMX 6.0.1, using MCU package 1.16.0.

We use LWIP layer with freeRTOS. This configuration was working before. I migrated it and it stopped to work. I recreate the project from scratch and it does not work neither.

Is there any workaround to make this thing work?

Thanks Rudo

Hi @rudolf.pribis​ 

Only way to answer this is to compare generated code before and after migration.

This is how I found out about what has changed.

If your original code was checked-in into GIT or some other version control system it will be easy to find out what is different.

Hi @Dub Bartolec​ ,

luckily I got. That was my desperate plan for today :grinning_face:.

Thanks for your answer.
