Where is __main?

my main() is as follows:

int main()

{

os_sys_init(init);

return 0;

}

After my startup assembly file executes, Keil __main() runs and then I enter forever loop
mentioned earlier in this message thread. I never hit my main().

My co-worker is up and running. He hits the main(). I took his source code and Keil RL-ARM
(Real-Time Library) from my machine and encountered the exact same problem.

I can try your suggestions but doesn't it look like the problem is with Keil RL-ARM code.
Maybe should I re-install Keil uVision4?

THIS IS NOT PC PROGRAMMING!!!

in embedded you can not return from main

If you want to do embedded there is one rule

"the embbeded chip aint no PC"

Erik

return 0 should never execute. We should never get to return 0 statement.

did you set a breakpoint and verify that "return 0 should never execute"

return 0 should never execute. We should never get to return 0 statement.
I assume you want to say that the code should never exit main(). True.
But when using RTOS, main() is terminated.
And, "return" in main() is not good for embedded designs.

Coming back to the topic
what is your startup code?
possibly post your code.

But when using RTOS, main() is terminated.

Really?

Correct me if i am wrong

The os_sys_init(MasterTask) is called before termination.
Hence it is valid if the while(1) statement is not written at the end of main(), because the controller executes "os_idle_demon()" even if there are no other tasks. And other tasks, if present, also have code written in infinite loop. Hence the controller will always have atleast one infinite loop.

int main(void)
{
    .
    .
    .


    os_sys_init(MasterTask);

    //while(1);     //
}

Currently, I'm not working on this project. If I resume this project, I'll continue the thread.

Thank you so much for valuable feedback.

We downgraded to Keil uVision4 version 4.54 and I'm still unable to hit my main().

I am stuck in Keil's code as follows:

Filename RT_Agent.c

void _sys_exit (int return_code) {
  /* Endless loop. */
  while (1);
}

And idea why I'm stuck in this while(1).
