os_idle_demon Underflow on LPC3250

I am developing with uVision 4.0 for LPC3250 target on Windows XP. The platform is the Phycore phy3250 board. I have compiled and successfully executed code from Keil's RTX_Blinky example and Phycore's uart_example. Although the latter was tested with uVision 3.0, the project file was converted to 4.0 format by the IDE automatically. Since Keil did not have an example that used a UART (and other reasons), I integrated RTX_Blinky functionality with the uart_example project from Phycore. However, when I pull up the OS Support->RTX Kernel window, only the os_idle_demon task shows up with stack usage of "Underflow." The program works fine as I added ADC functionality with serial output twice per second. Any ideas?

  • That was just part of the problem, apparently, because it happened again. Then, I realized that if you select Debug->OS Support->RTX Kernel before you stop the Debug session, you will get the same results without any of the other tasks showing up. However, if you select that same window while the program is stopped (or close it and then reopen it), all of the tasks will show up along with os_idle_demon showing 0%, which is what it should show with an empty loop.
