Creating threads in threadx with cubeMX?

[Rodo]

Hi all,

I'm using an stm32f746 and I switched to a stm32u5a9 mcu. I was learning about freeRTOS with the f746 and now it looks like I should be using threadX instead. Since I don't know much about RTOS, switching is not a big deal. But using cubeIDE build in cubeMX I could make multiple threads for freeRTOS before. Now it looks like I can make one in cubeMX by clicking the "generate app init code" and setting the "Create threadX application thread" to true. I know I can add more threads to the files manually. I'm wondering if I can make more than one in cubeMX ... like freeRTOS?

Thanks

Hello @Rodo 

Currently, CubeMX generates a single application thread by default. If you need additional threads, you must manually add them to your code after code generation. For reference, you can consult the Tx_Thread_Creation project located at:

C:\Users\XXXX\STM32Cube\Repository\STM32Cube_FW_U5_V1.8.0\Projects\NUCLEO-U5A5ZJ-Q\Applications\ThreadX\Tx_Thread_Creation

A change request has been submitted to the development team under internal ticket number 219287 to assess the feasibility of adding multi-thread configuration support for ThreadX directly within CubeMX
