Hi,

I use the version 7.5.2. PIC32MX-port on a
-DM320004-board, MPLABX-XC32,
-TIMER5 as tick-timer,
-5 tasks with queues5
-trace with DBPRINTF.
i have the following problem.
- I prepare trace messages from Tasks with va_xxx
- vPortMalloc space for the data
- send message with the pointer to the trace task.
- trace task, Output with DBPRINTF is ok
- then free the mem
this works about 3x, then
at the next xQueueReceive(p-> hQID, & m, portMAX_DELAY);

general_exception, _epc_code 0x800414
general_exception_ adr/code/ 0x9D0211C0 / 5
from map-file:
.text.MACMemCopyAsync 0x9d0210fc 0xa4 164
.text.uxListRemove 0x9d0211a0 0xa0 160
.rodata 0x9d021240 0xa0 160 Read-only const

in Tasks.c line 18622 if( uxListRemove( &( pxCurrentTCB->xGenericListItem ) ) == ( unsigned portBASE_TYPE ) 0 )

-sometimes the Problem occurs during the vPortFree
-sometimes after the first message DBPRINTF
-if I in the same Task: alloc - DBPRINTF - free , it works always.

anyone an idea ?

How does DBPRINTF work (through a serial port? semi-hosting, etc.)?

Does the code run if you comment out the calls to DBPRINTF (leaving the memory allocation and freeing, just not printing out the message)?

Does the code run if you use the "debug and run" option from the IDE?

Maybe using the MIPS manuals to decode the cause of the exception would help (possible).

Do you have configASSERT() defined?

Are you using stack overflow detection?

Regards.

DBPRINTF works trough the PIC32MX440F512H USB microcontroller for on-board debugging.on the dm320004.board, MPLABx-ide debuger, usb

-does not run if i disable DBPRINT , compilerswitch

-exception-codes from pic-manual: sometimes 5:address error,store , or 4:address error load/instruction fetch

-configASSERT() defined

-configCHECK_FOR_STACK_OVERFLOW = 2, hook not called,

Regards

You use TIMER5 as System Tick. Did you change the last lines in vPortIncrementTick() in file Source\portable\MPLAB\PIC32MX\port.c from

/* Clear timer 1 interrupt. */
IFS0CLR = _IFS0_T1IF_MASK;

to

/* Clear timer 5 interrupt. */
IFS0CLR = _IFS0_T5IF_MASK;

i use
mT5ClearIntFlag();
