Harmony v3 Drivers and Middleware on PIC32MZ EF MCUs Using FreeRTOS: Step 4
Rename Default Main File
Under the Project Graph tab, click on System, and give a name of your choice to the default template main file generated by MHC.
The name of the default main.c is changed to main_pic32mz.c to indicate that the referred main.c is for the PIC32MZ EF getting started training module.
Configure Application Threads and FreeRTOS
Go to the Project Graph and select Harmony Core Service.
The Configuration Options tab shows that for a Harmony Project, MHC automatically enables the generation of application files (app.c and app.h).
- Change the Number of Applications to 4.
Expand Application 0 Configuration and change the Application Name to "app_sensor_thread".
This will create an RTOS thread _APP_SENSOR_THREAD_Tasks.
Expand RTOS Configuration to configure Stack Size, Task Priority, and Task Delay. For this thread, use the default values.
Expand Application 1 Configuration and change the Application Name to "app_eeprom_thread".
This will create RTOS thread _APP_EEPROM_THREAD_Tasks.
- Expand Application 2 Configuration and change the Application Name to 'app_usb_thread'. This will create an RTOS thread _APP_USB_THREAD_Tasks.
- Expand RTOS Configuration to configure Stack Size, Task Priority, and Task Delay. For this thread, configure Task Delay in ms as 10 and remaining use as the default values.
- Expand Application 3 Configuration and change the Application Name to 'app_user_input_thread'. This will create RTOS thread _APP_USER_INPUT_THREAD_Tasks.
- Accept the default RTOS Configuration for the remaining two threads.
Select FreeRTOS in Project Graph tab, and increase the heap size to 32000 bytes by configuring the Total heap size.
