SVC_Handler and PendSV_Handler

Posted by vincent on October 21, 2011
I am working FreeRTOS in CortexM3 platform. As we know, we need define the following code in startup.s to make sure FREERTOS work.
IF FreeRTOS = {TRUE}
DCD vPortSVCHandler ; FreeRTOS SVC handler
ELSE
DCD SVC_Handler ; SVCall Handler
ENDIF
DCD DebugMon_Handler ; Debug Monitor Handler
DCD 0 ; Reserved
IF FreeRTOS = {TRUE}
DCD xPortPendSVHandler ; FreeRTOS PendSV Handler
ELSE
DCD PendSV_Handler ; PendSV Handler
ENDIF

But I found that USB otg code will call SVC_Handler and PendSV_Handler when communication with mass storage device.
So, it seems not possible that merge USBOTG function in FreeRTOS environment …

Anyone meet this question ?

I don't know where your USBOTG software came from, not from me that's for sure. If it is using such a major core resource such as SVC then I would imagine it comes with instructions on how to integrate it into you code.

FreeRTOS only uses an SVC 0 call. It uses it once only, to start the scheduler, and then never uses it again. You therefore have three choices:

1) Move the vector table into RAM, then when the kernel has started, rewrite the SVC handler entry to use the USB OTG code.

2) Have two copies of the vector table, one in flash with the FreeRTOS handler as per normal, and one in RAM with the USB handler. Then, when the scheduler has started, remap the vector table using the vector base address register.

3) Update the FreeRTOS handler so it checks the SVC call parameter. Currently it assumes only one thing is using the SVC call, so it does not bother to check it and just assumes it is 0.

Regards.

first, thanks for your adivise..the usb otg code from ST... I use ST cortex M3 platform..its OTG code refers to SVC handler. ST guys develop a new file system library to operate USB file operation...I think method3 is ok for me .do you help support it ?
regards

I checked FreeRTOS code and find that it call " svc 0" to trigger svc handler...so it is possible to get the parameter of svc handler. would you help to get the parameter in svc_handler function ... if this, I could dispath them to different svcaller ..
thank you
