Ensure interrupts are enabled at first task start (#214)
Critical sections in FreeRTOS are implemented using the following two
functions:
void vPortEnterCritical( void )
{
portDISABLE_INTERRUPTS();
uxCriticalNesting++;
}
void vPortExitCritical( void )
{
uxCriticalNesting--;
if( uxCriticalNesting == 0 )
{
portENABLE_INTERRUPTS();
}
}
uxCriticalNesting is initialized to a large value at the start and set
to zero when the scheduler is started (xPortStartScheduler). As a
result, before the scheduler is started, a pair of enter/exit critical
section will leave the interrupts disabled because uxCriticalNesting
will not reach zero in the vPortExitCritical function. This is done to
ensure that the interrupts remain disabled from the time first FreeRTOS
API is called to the time when the scheduler is started. The scheduler
starting code is expected to enure that interrupts are enabled before
the first task starts executing.
Cortex-M33 ports were not enabling interrupts before starting the first
task and as a result, the first task was started with interrupts
disabled. This PR fixes the issue by ensuring that interrupts are
enabled before the first task is started.
Signed-off-by: Gaurav Aggarwal <aggarg@amazon.com>This repository contains FreeRTOS kernel source/header files and kernel ports only. This repository is referenced as a submodule in FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS repository, which contains pre-configured demo application projects under FreeRTOS/Demo directory.
The easiest way to use FreeRTOS is to start with one of the pre-configured demo application projects. That way you will have the correct FreeRTOS source files included, and the correct include paths configured. Once a demo application is building and executing you can remove the demo application files, and start to add in your own application source files. See the FreeRTOS Kernel Quick Start Guide for detailed instructions and other useful links.
Additionally, for FreeRTOS kernel feature information refer to the Developer Documentation, and API Reference.
If you have any questions or need assistance troubleshooting your FreeRTOS project, we have an active community that can help on the FreeRTOS Community Support Forum.

The root of this repository contains the three files that are common to every port - list.c, queue.c and tasks.c. The kernel is contained within these three files. croutine.c implements the optional co-routine functionality - which is normally only used on very memory limited systems.
The ./portable directory contains the files that are specific to a particular microcontroller and/or compiler. See the readme file in the ./portable directory for more information.
The ./include directory contains the real time kernel header files.
FreeRTOS files are formatted using the “uncrustify” tool. The configuration file used by uncrustify can be found in the FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS repository.
lexicon.txt contains words that are not traditionally found in an English dictionary. It is used by the spellchecker to verify the various jargon, variable names, and other odd words used in the FreeRTOS code base. If your pull request fails to pass the spelling and you believe this is a mistake, then add the word to lexicon.txt. Note that only the FreeRTOS Kernel source files are checked for proper spelling, the portable section is ignored.
