New CCES projects with FreeRTOS, relative linking

Hi cSmout, 

I add a screenshot for Sharc project to add FreeRTOS source files in https://ez.analog.com/dsp/software-and-development-tools/freertos/w/documents/14201/how-to-add-freertos-source-files-in-your-newly-created-freertos-cces-project 

And also add the new section to create relative links, please have a try again. 

Regards

HI Cathy, 

Thanks for your reply. I have replicated your steps for adding in the FreeRTOS source files using relative links, however I cannot seem to find the common.h or FreeRTOSConfig.h headers in the FreeRTOS source directory.

Could you point me towards where these are located?

Many thanks, 

Connor

Also, The screenshot does not seem to include FreeRTOS.h which port.c requires... I have also added this in using a relative link, however I receive:

catastrophic error: cannot open source file "FreeRTOS.h"

Even though that file is now linked into my FreeRTOS project directory. I cannot see where these files are sourced from in the demo project either.

Hi cSmout, 

These files such as FreeRTOS.h are under ${your_workspace}\FreeRTOSv10.0.0\FreeRTOS\Source\include, we add them in Includes path.

Please check the steps in sections How to add Include Paths for new projects?https://ez.analog.com/dsp/software-and-development-tools/freertos/w/documents/14201/how-to-add-freertos-source-files-in-your-newly-created-freertos-cces-project

Hi Cathy, 

I already followed the steps in your link, but there doesn't seem to be a "How to add Include Paths for new projects?" section.


As you can see I have relatively added all the source files the post you linked stated to import.

I then imported FreeRTOS.h and FreeRTOSConfig.h as I was getting errors saying these files were not found.
I then imported FreeRTOS.h as I was getting a similar error, however even though I have imported this file, I still receive "catastrophic error: cannot open source file "FreeRTOS.h".

I hope you can help, 

Connor

Hi cSmout, 

It is at the end of page in https://ez.analog.com/dsp/software-and-development-tools/freertos/w/documents/14201/how-to-add-freertos-source-files-in-your-newly-created-freertos-cces-project

Please have a try.

Cathy

1.  Right-click on your project and select Properties
2.  Go to settings to add the paths in Additional include directories shown as below. Now it is in Debug mode as default, please also do it in Release mode. 
3. 

Hi Cathy, 

Apologies, I had not refreshed the linked post so could not see your further additions!

I have now added the include directories as per your guidance and FreeRTOS.h is now being found and compiled.

However it cannot find FreeRTOSConfig.h, and I can only find this file in the Demo project source. Presumably, as this is the file that will be used to configure FreeRTOS for  my project, if I added this file as a relative virtual link, I would actually be editing the file in the demo project.

Would you therefore advise creating a new FreeRTOS config.h file local to my project's source directory, and copy and & pasting in the contents of this file to edit?

Many thanks for your patience, 

Connor

HI cSmout, 

Yes, please. Actually, we add FreeRTOSConfig.h file is under demo project as my projects source file, it should be adjusted for our particular hardware and application requirements.  So, we add it as actual file as part of my project instead of relative virtual link as FreeRTOS source code. 

Here is path of FreeRTOSConfig.h, it is under {ProName}/Include:

Hi Cathy, 

I am afraid after doing this I'm still getting build errors:

"No rule to make target `../src/FreeRTOSConfig.h', needed by `system/FreeRTOS/portable/port.doj'"

I don't understand this as nowhere in my project does it try and include FreeRTOSConfig.h from the src/ directory.

My Include directories look okay:

And the project also seems to match your screenshots and the Demo project.

Sorry to keep pestering but just creating this project is taking me far longer than it should.

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Connor

Hi cSmout, 

It is ok for me. Is it possible for you to share your projects to me? or just create simple demo that similar with your project. I think it should be more efficient to debug your issue.

If not, I think it is better to add your code based on our demo project {your_workspace}FreeRTOSv10.0.0\FreeRTOS\Demo\SHARC_ADSP_SC589_CCES. It should be no path issue with FreeRTOS.

And back to your error, 

"No rule to make target `../src/FreeRTOSConfig.h', needed by `system/FreeRTOS/portable/port.doj'"

Here port.c includes the FreeRTOS.h that includes FreeRTOSConfig.h, please don't change this including path.

Also please have a try to replace "${ProjDirPath}/Include}" with "${workspace_loc:/${ProjName}/Include}", and same update for system in your Include directories.

Regards

Cathy
