CubeMX & FreeRTOS -> Using SysTick

Hello

I'd just like to know why CubeMX strongly recommends to use other timers besides SysTick as source? I've always thought that the SysTick timer is basically intended for use with an embedded OS? Thanks

FreeRTOS. At least the normal unmodified FreeRTOS takes care of SysTick on it's own.

For click-kiddies it's not modern to stress the brain - exactly like in a HAL/CubeMX team... ;)

UM1722 explains FreeRTOS integration with Cube generated projects. It is ideal place to describe such things.

As well as issues discovered by Mr. Nadler.

Please, ST, keep this document updated.

Can anyone find the solution to this problem? I have the same problem, please help me.

The loop enters one when a timer other than Systick is selected. It keeps rebooting. But when timebase source is selected, systick without any problem. But I have to use freertos and I need a timer. The processor I use is stm32f746vgt6

Hi,

This is still happening today. Did you find a solution to it not returning from HAL_Init?

Thanks
