Question

ISR does not context switch out to its respective task using freeRTOS

Hi everyone, first time using freeRTOS and everything is working besides context switching from an ISR.

The STM32H743ZI has DMA (DMA1_Stream0) setup as UART Rx. This triggers an ISR that sends a queue for task synchronization, as the task that receive the queue will now process the data within the DMA Rx buffer.

Issue is the code gets hung up at "xQueueSendFromISR(CLIQueue, &temp, 0);"

The task priority is = 2 and its the only task in the system thus far

Configuration that I used/done

I am using freeRTOS Version: "V10.4.4+" Located in task.h

PORT: GCC/ARM_CM4F

HEAP: Using Heap 4

Language: C++

Note I also commented out "stm32h7xx_it.c" as there were duplicates of the handlers

Any guidance would be grateful

    What is your ISR priority, see comment for configLIBRARY_MAX_SYSCALL_INTERRUPT_PRIORITY

    Ahhh, the NVIC handler is at currently 0, so I guess thats the highest which is higher than 0. So I gotta replace that 5 with a zero I guess? and change my nvic interrupt to anything else besides 0?

    Nevermind, I cant make it zero, but I guess just change the NVIC prio to anything > 5?
