+ Update the RZ IAR project so it targets the RZ RSK rather than custom hardware.
+ Update the RZ ARM/DS-5 project so it targets the RZ RSK rather than custom hardware.
+ Updated RX64M demos to use the new iodefine.h naming.
Cortex-A9 port related:
+ Update IAR, ARM and GCC Cortex-A9 port layers to include a 'task exit error' function which is called if a task attempts to incorrectly exit its implementing function.
+ Moved the instruction which switches into system mode out of the restore context macro, as it is only needed when starting the first task.
Core kernel files related:
+ Ensure there are no references to the mutexes held count when mutexes are excluded from the build.
- Slight improvement to the save context macro.
- Remove some #warning remarks.
- Enable interrupts before calling the ISR handler rather than in the ISR handler.
- Add in the assert when a task attempts to exit its implementing function without deleting itself.
- Remove obsolete code from the context switch asm code (obsoleted by the fact that there is no mask register).
- Attempt to make code more generic by using definitions for additional register addresses.
Helper updates to allow a count of the number of mutexes held to be added.
Updates to the CCS Cortex-R4 implementation necessitated by a change in compiler semantics.
Update PIC32MX and MZ ports to assert if a non ISR safe function is called from an ISR.
Replace LDMFD with POP instructions in IAR and RVDS Cortex-A9 ports.
Replace branch to address with indirect branch and exchange to address in register in the IAR and RVDS Cortex-A9 ports.
Change INCLUDE_xTimerPendFunctionCallFromISR to INCLUDE_xTimerPendFunctionCall
Update event group trace macros to match the new trace recorder code.
Ensure parameter name consistency by renaming any occurrences of xBlockTime and xBlockTimeTicks to xTicksToWait.
Continue work on GCC/RL78 port - still a work in progress.
Adjust how the critical section was used in xQueueAddToSet.
Remove obsolete extern declaration of vTaskSwitchContext() from the MPX430X IAR portmacro.h (other older portmacro.h header files contain the same declaration).
When a task is unblocked the need for a context switch is only signalled if the unblocked task has a priority higher than the currently running task, instead of higher than or equal to the priority of the currently running task.
Replace #define types with typedefs.
Rename all typedefs to have a _t extension.
Add #defines to automatically convert old FreeRTOS specific types to their new names (with the _t).
Correct header comments in the UARTCommandConsole.c file used in the SmartFusion2 demo.
Exercise the new xQueueSpacesAvailable() function in the MSVC demo.
Add defaults for the new traceMALLOC and traceFREE trace macros.
Catch tasks trying to exit their functions in the Cortex-M0 ports.
Add additional comments to timers.c in response to a support forum question.
Initialise _impure_ptr prior to the first task being started.
Prior to V7.5.0 a yield pended in the tick hook would have occurred during the same tick interrupt. Return pdTRUE from xTaskIncrementTick() if a yield is pending to revert to that behaviour.
Don't reset the stack location when starting the scheduler in Cortex-M0 ports as the vector offset register is not implemented and XMC1000 devices have their application vector address somewhere other than 0x00.
Update the Cortex-A9 port to include asserts if an ISR safe FreeRTOS function is called from an interrupt that has a higher logical priority than configMAX_SYSCALL_INTERRUPT_PRIORITY (or whatever the CA9 equivalent is called), and also assert if the binary point is not set correctly.
