Honored ContributorIs it necessary to have an interval timer in your sopc design for a microc/os-ii project to work? what would happen if you dont put an interval timer.. in my bsp it shows system clock timer as none. does that mean it will take the 50Mhz clock as the system timer?
Honored ContributorNo you absolutely need a system timer or the scheduler won't work. If it compiles, the OS will probably freeze before even starting.
Honored Contributori see.. thanks :)
Honored Contributori tried running it without a system clock and it works! as long as you dont use any delay or time related functions. you have to trick the compiler by putting
the number of ticks per second in the header file even though theres no real tick :)Honored ContributorI didn't look at the OS code in detail but I doubt the scheduler will work correctly without a timer. You may have a problem when you start running several threads simultaneously.
