Hello richardbarry,
I will try once again, i was a but frustrated after spending alot of hours yesterday, so i should have waited with posting here until i had rested my mind a little.
Development board: Luminary Micro LM3S6965 Ethernet Eval Board
Software: CrossStudio for ARM 2.0
Compiler: GCC
FreeRTOS version: V6.1.1
This morning i attended to make a fresh install of FreeRTOS, as the install before was a import from Red Suite and sadly the problem is still the same.
Anyhow as mentioned i have made a fresh install, and implemented only the code which has been causing the “damage”.
main.c:
int main(void) {
portBASE_TYPE create_check = pdTRUE;
setupHardware();
// ---------- Create semaphores/mutex ----------
lcd_keypad_shared_pins_mutex = xSemaphoreCreateMutex();
if (lcd_keypad_shared_pins_mutex == NULL)
{
SET_BIT_LOW(PORTD_DATA, PD6);
while(1); // could not create queue
}
// ---------- Create queues ----------
// ---------- Create tasks ----------
create_check = xTaskCreate( lcd_task, ( signed portCHAR * ) "LCDTASK", USERTASK_STACK_SIZE, NULL, tskIDLE_PRIORITY, NULL);
if (create_check != pdTRUE)
{
SET_BIT_LOW(PORTD_DATA, PD6);
while(1); // could not create task.
}
create_check = xTaskCreate( ui_task, ( signed portCHAR * ) "UITASK", USERTASK_STACK_SIZE, NULL, tskIDLE_PRIORITY, NULL);
if (create_check != pdTRUE)
{
SET_BIT_LOW(PORTD_DATA, PD6);
while(1); // could not create task.
}
/*
* Start the scheduler.
*/
vTaskStartScheduler();
/*
* Will only get here if there was insufficient memory to create the idle task.
*/
return 1;
}
lcd.c (useage of mutex):
xSemaphoreTake(lcd_keypad_shared_pins_mutex, portMAX_DELAY );
// Uninteresting code to drive a LCD
xSemaphoreGive(lcd_keypad_shared_pins_mutex);

When i debug the piece of code where i take the Mutex in use and “watch” the Take and Give of the Mutex, straigh after the Take has been executed it goes into FaultISR and basically never reaches the Give.
--- LM3S_Startup_Custom.s -- 138 ---------------------------
DEFAULT_ISR_HANDLER Fault_ISR
E7FE b 0x00000204 <Fault_ISR>
I hope my information is a bit more sufficient now, else please let me know i will try to provide as much as possible!
