Hi,

i have running A IAR-MSP430 Port of V4.2.0 with some small extentions for Low-Power-Modes.
So the System is running in Power-Down with the 32kHz – Clock as a Realtime Clock toggeling ans showing on LCD every second with 10uA current.

For Power-Down I loaded the value of the tik-counter in a timer with the next task-wakeup-time and coroutine-wakeup-time in a Compare-Register of that Timer.

So the Controller can Sleep up to the nextwakeup or asynchron event.

Then the Tik-Counter is restored and the normal Realtime-Tiks are Handled.

If there ist no task or coroutine to run, the Power-Down-Mechanism is Called in the IDLE-task.

I Implemented this in port.c file but I extended the task.c with some small Routines to get and set the TIKs

portTickType  xTaskGetxTickCount(void)
void xTaskSetxTickCount( portTickType newxTickCount )

and to get the next Timepoint to wake up

portTickType xTaskGetNextDelayedTik( void )
portTickType pxGetNextDelayedCoRoutineTik ( void )

Are there an interest or plans to implement some more low-power-management feature in Free RTOS ?
