Freertos semaphore not initialised correctly by CubeMX

By setting up a new project in STM32CubeMX 6.10.0, when adding a Semaphore in FREERTOS, the generated code is not correct, and the binary semaphores are initialised in a Taken state ( initial_count=0 of osSemaphoreNew() )  - resulting in the fact that the application will never be able to take the semaphore - see code snippet below. 

 

 

 

/**
 * @brief  FreeRTOS initialization
 *   None
 * @retval None
 */
void MX_FREERTOS_Init(void) {
	/* USER CODE BEGIN Init */

	/* USER CODE END Init */

	/* USER CODE BEGIN RTOS_MUTEX */
	/* add mutexes, ... */
	/* USER CODE END RTOS_MUTEX */

	/* Create the semaphores(s) */
	/* creation of i2sHalfCpltReadySem */
	i2sHalfCpltReadySemHandle = osSemaphoreNew(1, 0, &i2sHalfCpltReadySem_attributes);

 

 

 

 The correct function call should be with initial_count=1 as here below and how it was in older MX versions

 

 

 

foo = osSemaphoreNew(1,1, &bar);

 

 

For users having the same issue: quick fix is to add these line after initialisation

/* USER CODE BEGIN RTOS_SEMAPHORES */
osSemaphoreRelease(i2sHalfCpltReadySemHandle);

 

For ST Employees: please fix Cube MX to properly initialise.
