Hi everybody,
I’m trying to get the Freertos running on a SAM7-EX256 board. I have a simple serial module that simply sends some characters on the serial port. I have tested the module without the OS. Then I’ve made a task for the Freertos that sends the same characters. The problem is that it’s only sending a few characters and then it stops. Do you have any ideea what I should do? I will post the code, but right now I don’t know which part I should put here.
I will be glad to work with you on this. The only problem is that you are ahead of me in understanding this board. I would like to get anything running on it. I am trying to use the Olimex ARM-USB-OCD/Eclipse/Yargarto/OCD setup, but its just not working for me.
I have a Emachine laptop with an AMD 64 3200+, 1.6GHz, and 512MB of RAM running Windows XP. Any help would be appreciated.
I’ve already spent at least 10 hours figuring out that Eclipse does not work with Windows Vista.
I am an experience embedded systems engineer, but new to ARM and Eclipse. I would really like to get this board to run FreeRTOS, the SD-Card interface, the CAN interface, the Ethernet interface, joysticks and buttons, speaker and mic. It other words, get everything running under FreeRTOS.
If you could bundle up your project source code in a zip file, along with instructions for installation, I will be glad to work with you on this.

Hi pynnonen,
I am not using the same software as you, but I think you can compile the projects I have with Eclipse. I am using Programmers Notepad (it comes free with WINARM, which you can download from here ://www.siwawi.arubi.uni-kl.de/avr_projects … ts/#winarm
). On this page there are also some good projects, but they are made for AT91SAM7S256, and the OLIMEX board I have has the X version of the microcontroller. With a few changes I think they can all be adapted for the board. I haven’t tried them since I was very busy trying to get the FreeRTOS running (thing which happilly I did).
I cannot attach anything to this post, so you should give me an email address to send you the projects and other information I found that could be useful.
Regards,
Tudor
Hello there. If you are interested i have something to share; a modified freertos tarball which has the following additions/modifications :
support for SPI MMC/SD cards (at least some of them).
support for the onboard LCD display RGB 8-bit ( the code supports the GE12 version as far as i remember)
support for the lwIP version 1.2.0 for the current PHY
modified BasicWeb.c to support reading files from SD/MMC files through lwIP calls
serial (uart0) calls support (with usb calls deactivated since they conflict with the serial calls).
My IDE env is suse linux 10.2 + Eclipse v. 3.3 or v. 3.2. My email address is mgiannos2000@yahoo.gr. What do you think?
regards
Manos
