Problem with Keil APM32E103RET6 and FreeRTOS.

cifron

I’ll keep asking until someone from GEEHY bothers to answer me.
When will GEEHY pay attention to its customers. I’m trying to start a project with IDE:Keil :Geehy.APM32E1xx_DFP.1.0.2.pack RTOS:FreeRTOS 11.2.0 Without FreeRTOS the project works. The moment I add FreeRTOS everything goes to hell. 135 errors are generated due to some incompatibility of these packages of the type:

Hi,

Thank you for your persistence in reaching out to us. We’re genuinely sorry to hear about the frustration this setup issue has caused.

We have reviewed the errors you shared, and it looks like the problem is indeed a compiler incompatibility.

Here’s what we recommend to get this sorted out for you:

Start with our official FreeRTOS example. It’s already configured correctly and will serve as a solid reference. You can find it in the SDK at:

APM32E10x_SDK_V1.3.1\Examples\Board_APM32E103_MINI\RTOS\FreeRTOS

The full SDK package is available for download here:
https://www.geehy.com/uploads/tool/APM32E10x_SDK_V1.3.1.zip

And here’s the crucial step: Our provided example requires the ARM Compiler V5 (AC5). Please switch your Keil project settings to use AC5, and the errors should disappear.

We’re confident this will resolve the issue. Please give it a try and let us know if it gets you up and running, or if you run into any other snags.
