CMSIS FreeRTOS software timer handler not getting invoked

I have FreeRTOS V7.6 with CMSIS running on STM32F207IG. I trying to invoke a simple software timer (used as a timeout for an operation), but the timer handler never seems to get invoked. I am following the FreeRTOS example in STM322xG_EVAL in terms of setting up the timer (and setting configUSE_TIMERS = 1), but with no luck. 

Is there something obvious I am missing? I'm fairly new to the STM32 and FreeRTOS so any sort of insight is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hi valletta.bryan,

The example ''FreeRTOS_Timers'' in

http://www.st.com/content/st_com/en/products/embedded-software/mcus-embedded-software/stm32-embedded-software/stm32cube-embedded-software/patch-cubefw-f2.html

will be helpful for your. You find it at this path: STM32Cube_FW_F2_V1.3.1\Projects\STM322xG_EVAL\Applications\FreeRTOS\FreeRTOS_Timers -Hannibal-

Yeah, that's the example I was using with no luck.
