Hello, guys!
I am developing a project based on wifi connection for use mqtt and the use of UARTs Fast and low (stdio) for control and communication with other devices.
It's all running properly, but to make an enhacement on the control of FASTUART, I decided to use a timer (based on rtos) to managed timeouts when a reception starts and flush the ring buffer when a timeout is trigger before a full frame has been received on the fastuart.
With this addition, when I use the make target "kits.CYW954907AEVAL1F.MyProject-CYW954907AEVAL1F-FreeRTOS-LwIP-debug download" next information is printed on console with the ERRORS:

I use the timer on the file "platform_uart.c" and its functions are declared via #include "wiced_rtos.h".
The added code is:
//Variables:
#ifdef USE_TIMER_TO_CONTROL_FASTUART
wiced_timer_t Timer_Control_FASTUART;
const uint32_t Timeout_Control_FASTUART = 250;
static void Timer_Control_FASTUART_CallBack(void *arg);
#endif
//IRQ UART function to process the FAST UART
static wiced_bool_t uart_seci_process_irq( platform_uart_driver_t* driver, uart_seci_t* uart_seci_base )
{
if(driver->interface->port == UART_FAST)
{
....
#ifdef USE_TIMER_TO_CONTROL_FASTUART
if(driver->rx_buffer->tail == 0)
{
if(wiced_rtos_init_timer( &Timer_Control_FASTUART, Timeout_Control_FASTUART, (timer_handler_t)Timer_Control_FASTUART_CallBack, (void *)driver) == WICED_SUCCESS)
{
if(wiced_rtos_start_timer(&Timer_Control_FASTUART) == WICED_SUCCESS)
{
}
}
}
#endif
...
}
}
//Timer CALLBACK in case of timeout
#ifdef USE_TIMER_TO_CONTROL_FASTUART
static void Timer_Control_FASTUART_CallBack(void *arg){
platform_uart_driver_t* driver = arg;
//stop timer:
if(wiced_rtos_stop_timer(&Timer_Control_FASTUART) == WICED_SUCCESS)
{
//restart variables:
driver->rx_buffer->tail = 0;
driver->rx_buffer->head = 0;
length_frame_fastuart = 0;
//deinit timer
if(wiced_rtos_deinit_timer( &Timer_Control_FASTUART ) == WICED_SUCCESS)
{
}
}
}
#endif
Could it be a problem of use timers inside an IRQ function?
NOTE: When I use a Make Targe without downloading, the code compiles without any problem. "kits.CYW954907AEVAL1F.MyProject-CYW954907AEVAL1F-FreeRTOS-LwIP".
Many thanks in advance!
