STM32L432KC debug seems to stop running before I can press resume in STM32CubeIDE, using FreeRTOS

[JPed]

So, I am working on a program that is supposed to create a log file on an SD card as part of a bigger system. For this I am working with FreeRTOS, using the actual FreeRTOS commands, not the CMSIS counterparts, I am also using the FatFS API, I am also using SPI for the data transfer. And while the code worked fine a few hours ago, just running a single task that created a file on the root of the SD card and wrote a string into that file. After this I tried to create a task that would update the file with an appended string, and with this I created a mutex to make sure that the tasks ran sequentially, however after this the program is not working when debugging, and no files are created.

When I run the debugger the LD1 flashes as one would expect, however after switching to the debug window in the IDE, and it switching to run the main function, the LD1 stops flashing, and nothing is happening when the debug is resumed, nothing is printed to the serial monitor (using Tera Term), and as said no files are created. When I terminate the debugging, the LD1 goes back to shining the default red. I have tried to create a new project, as well as using a different STM32L432KC and the same keeps happening.

The actual program I am running is taken from ControllersTech on YouTube dealing with saving data to an SD card, and while the original program is meant for C, and executes just fine for me, the adapted version in FreeRTOS using the same program copy pasted into the task does not. I have attached the project; including what is printed to the debug console, as well as the ControllersTech project. I have not been able to find anything that deals with similar issues, so I was wondering if anyone might be able to see what is going wrong. I am currently a uni student, and this semester is the first time I am working with STM32's and FreeRTOS, so sorry in advance if I am not quick to understand.

Here is the ControllersTech video, was not able to include it in the post. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spVIZO-jbxE&t=1s

Hi,

are you able to solve this? I am working with STM32l432KC with sd card using SPI but it doesnt workout for me. can you help if sd card interfacing is working for you?
