Comilation error MBED-RTOS LPC1768 with IAR

Hi,

I try to compile RTOS library for LPC1768 with IAR and I have next error:

[Error] RTX_CM_lib.h@120: [Pe020]: identifier "WORDS_STACK_SIZE" is undefined [Error] RTX_CM_lib.h@120: [Pe028]: expression must have a constant value [Error] RTX_CM_lib.h@277: [Pe020]: identifier "HEAP_START" is undefined

I type next command from cmd line: python.exe workspace_tools/build.py -m LPC1768 -t IAR -r -o debug-info

How to fix this error?

Best regards Milan Stevanovic

Hello,

RTOS in mbed does not support IAR. only ARM GCC and ARMCC is supported currently. you can add IAR support, use github https://github.com/mbedmicro/mbed

Hi,

I am using githhub https://github.com/mbedmicro/mbed and I try with next command to build mbed with rtos and IAR: python.exe workspace_tools/build.py -m LPC1768 -t IAR -r -o debug-info

but, I have these errors because WORDS_STACK_SIZE and HEAP_START is not defined.

I can add these defines but I am not sure aboute values.

Thanks a lot Best regards Mila Stevanovic

Each core has own HAL and SVC Table. This 2 assembly files should be added for IAR. look at rtos/rtx/TARGET_M0/

Hi Martin,

Thanks a lot for your answer. I added these two files to support RTOS with IAR. But, my main problem is to find HEAP_START. There is GNUC example (different for other compiler): extern unsigned char end[];

  1. define HEAP_START (end)

But how to do this with IAR? Can you provide me some help?

Thanks a lot Best regards Milan

You can find those 2 files (for IAR) as part of RTX . I assume it might be available online through KEIL webpages.

I found them in Keil for example, downloaded through Package manager (in Keil v5)

Hi Martin,

Yes your are right. I used these two files and this is not a problem. I found the solution for this in IAR documentation. I need to update code with next for HEAP_START:

  1. pragma section = "HEAP"

section_begin("HEAP"); thsi command return value for HEAP_START

Also, I need to add set_main_stack(); in section for ICCARM

After that everythings works fine

Thnaks a lot
