RTX porting to 3.40

Hi All,
I'm upgrading a firmware using RTX OS from 3.24 to 3.40.

As expected, there are many problems with functions, definitions and so on.

I found that "the os_clock_demon() task scheduler has been removed and replaced with system function calls" but I can't understand what system function calls are intended and how do they will substitute the scheduler.

Thanks to everyone,

Marco

The scheduler still exists, but it is not implemented as a task, but rather as protected system functions. The benefit is faster reaction on isr_xxx events and less ram for the kernel. From the user's point of view, this is just a change in the library, while the usage is the same as before v3.40

The main difference is the __task keyword location. You have to change this in your project:

__task void io_control (void) {

And you have to replace the RTX_Config.c with a new one.

No other changes are required.

Hi, I followed your instruction and got a zero compile error for my firmware.

I've taken my Rtx_Config.c configuration and reported it to the new one, taken from the updated Rtx Blinky example.
I updated the used .lib and other .c files..

The system goes to pAbt_handler if I run it without breakpoint.

Following the creation of tasks using breakpoint I got a "normal" run, even if the OS is always in the Idle task..

With 3.24 this was ok, I can't understand what's wrong..

Thanks for help,

Did you install MDK 3.40?

Are you sure that you are using the correct libraries?

You can check the location of abort from the debugger.
LR-8 is the address that caused abort. Is this address from the RTX library?

 RE: RTX porting to 3.40

I found that my problem is related to the new FS_ARM_L.lib. Using the old .lib my Rtx is 80% functional, replacing the file with the new .lib it goes to Abort.

I'm using the 3.40 Mdk and RL version, when RTX calls functions like fclose() it goes to abort..

Thanks for help, I know it's quite difficult to understand what's happening..
