Hi there,

I am trying to implement a delay microsecnods functions in terms of FreeRTOS and read different threads in this forum but dint get a clear way through.

I have some basic questions and it would be very helpful if anyone could answer them.

My setup: I am running FreeRTOS on an NXP LPC4367. So far i have all these tasks running that read different sensors and so on.

I want to make a task that constructs and sends infrared commands. I have figured out the timings and without Freertos it works.

This IR functionality needs a delay microseconds function in order to get built.

So my configTICKRATEHZ is default -> (TickType_t) 1000)

1. Can i implement in terms of FreeRTOS a delaymicrosecnods function?

2. Freertos makes use of SysTickHandler. (When i try to make use of SysTickHandler compiler says that is already used.) Having that trouble i tried to use a peripheral timer that LPC offers. Peripheral timer doesn't work alongside FreeRTOS.

Any help plz?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Not using the RTOS tick, if it is running at 1KHz, and it is not recommended to run it faster than that.

Using a peripheral timer would be my initial advice. FreeRTOS doesn't touch any other timers so it should work.

Use a hardware timer, and interrupt.

in the interrupt, you can yieldfromISR , taskgivefromISR etc

this way you can get a deterministic hard RTOS . especially if nested interrupts is all working as it should...' that's how I fire the firing pin at exactly the time it needs to fire...
