Port is portable/GCC/ARMCM3MPU. Build error (with portUSINGMPUWRAPPERS == 1) FreeRTOSv9.0.0/FreeRTOS/Source/include/portable.h:199:34: error: unknown type name 'xMPU_SETTINGS'

When I get a 'NNN' undefined message the first thing I do is grep (or equivalent) the source tree. Within a few seconds that shows me where 'NNN' is defined, or not as the case may be. In this case it showed me that xMPU_SETTINGS is defined in the portmacro.h header file for the MPU ports - so my first question back to yourself is - are you certain you are including the correct portmacro.h file. Check the compiler options to make sure that the path to the MPU version of portmacro.h is in the compiler's include path.

I needed to adjust the includes macro in the Makefile. I use cscope which is a glorified grep utility. I admit that I should have checked this before posting.

Well here is the real question about the Memory Protection Unit part of the port for the Cortex-M3. Is it as easy as making the following changes. For me the it appears that none of the tasks start running. Otherwise, when I back out these changes below everything runs perfectly.

FreeRTOSConfig.h: #define portUSINGMPUWRAPPERS 1

Makefile: SRC += mpu_wrappers.c

FreeRTOSConfig.h:

define portUSINGMPUWRAPPERS 1

This is not something you should define yourself - doing so will break the required include sequence. It is already defined in portmacro.h, assuming you are using an MPU port so you just need to ensure you are including the correct portmacro.h file.

Using the MPU port is definitely not as easy as a non-MPU port. I would recommend starting with one of the pre-configured examples. There is an example that runs in the Keil simulator (using either the ARM or GCC compiler) that is a good place to start. If that is not in the main FreeRTOS zip file download then you will find it in the following directory of the SVN head:

There is also this one which only uses static memory allocation:
