* Remove support for tmrCOMMAND_START_DONT_TRACE Prior to this commit, the timer task used tmrCOMMAND_START_DONT_TRACE to reload a "backlogged" auto-reload timer -- one for which a reload operation would have started a period that had already elapsed. If the command queue contained a stop or delete command when tmrCOMMAND_START_DONT_TRACE was put into the queue for a reload, the timer unexpectedly restarted when the timer task processed tmrCOMMAND_START_DONT_TRACE. This commit implements a new method of reloading auto-reload timers and eliminates support for tmrCOMMAND_START_DONT_TRACE. No other code sends this private command. However, the symbol tmrCOMMAND_START_DONT_TRACE remains defined, with its original command value, so as not to impact trace applications. Also fix one-shot timers that were not reliably being marked as not active: - when they expired before the start command could be processed - when the expiration was processed during the timer list switch Also improve consistency: - Always reload auto-reload timers *before* calling the callback. - Always call traceTIMER_EXPIRED() just prior to the callback. * fix indent * Revert unnecessary change to prvTimerTask() Change was intended to faithfully work through a backlog that spanned a list switch, and before processing a stop or delete command. But, (1) it isn't important to do that, and (2) the code didn't accomplish the intention when *two* auto-reload timers were backlogged across a list switch. Best to simply leave this part of the code as it was before. * fix style Co-authored-by: Joseph Julicher <jjulicher@mac.com> |

Getting started
This repository contains FreeRTOS kernel source/header files and kernel ports only. This repository is referenced as a submodule in FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS repository, which contains pre-configured demo application projects under FreeRTOS/Demo
directory.
The easiest way to use FreeRTOS is to start with one of the pre-configured demo application projects. That way you will have the correct FreeRTOS source files included, and the correct include paths configured. Once a demo application is building and executing you can remove the demo application files, and start to add in your own application source files. See the FreeRTOS Kernel Quick Start Guide for detailed instructions and other useful links.
Additionally, for FreeRTOS kernel feature information refer to the Developer Documentation, and API Reference.
Getting help
If you have any questions or need assistance troubleshooting your FreeRTOS project, we have an active community that can help on the FreeRTOS Community Support Forum.

Repository structure
-
The root of this repository contains the three files that are common to every port - list.c, queue.c and tasks.c. The kernel is contained within these three files. croutine.c implements the optional co-routine functionality - which is normally only used on very memory limited systems.
-
The
./portable
directory contains the files that are specific to a particular microcontroller and/or compiler. See the readme file in the./portable
directory for more information. -
The
./include
directory contains the real time kernel header files.
Code Formatting
FreeRTOS files are formatted using the "uncrustify" tool. The configuration file used by uncrustify can be found in the FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS repository.
Spelling
lexicon.txt contains words that are not traditionally found in an English dictionary. It is used by the spellchecker to verify the various jargon, variable names, and other odd words used in the FreeRTOS code base. If your pull request fails to pass the spelling and you believe this is a mistake, then add the word to lexicon.txt. Note that only the FreeRTOS Kernel source files are checked for proper spelling, the portable section is ignored.
