MR30
Precaution

Please take note of the following problems in using real-time OS MR30 for the M16C/60 and M16C/20 series MCUs:
  • On using the iwup_tsk system call
  • On using the -fansi option in the nc30 compiler


  1. Problem on Using the iwup_tsk System Call
    1.1 Versions Concerned
    MR30 V.1.00 Release 1 -- V.3.30 Release 1

    1.2 Description
    When issuance of an iwup_tsk system call invokes a task that is in the waiting state, MR30 may not return error code E_OK even if the code is to be returned.

    1.2.1 Conditions
    This problem occurs if the following two conditions are satisfied:
    (1) The task to be invoked by the iwup_tsk system call is in the waiting state generated by the slp_tsk or tslp_tsk system call.
    (2) Other tasks exist which have the same priority as the above task and remain in the READY or RUN state.

    1.2.2 Example
    In the source program shown below, error code E_OK is returned when the task whose ID number is 1 is invoked. So the error function is not performed. However, when the above conditions are met, E_OK is not returned even though the task with an ID number of 1 is invoked, which results in the error function being performed.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------
    if( iwup_tsk( 1 ) != E_OK ){
            error( Q_OVR );
    }
    -----------------------------------------------------------------
    1.3 Workaround
    Describe the evaluation of the conditional expression using E_QOVR, not E_OK, as shown below.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    if( iwup_tsk( 1 ) == E_QOVR ){
            error( Q_OVR );
    }
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    1.4 Schedule of Fixing the Problem
    We plan to fix this problem in our next release.

  2. Problem on Using the -fansi Option in the nc30 Compiler
    2.1 Versions Concerned
    MR30 V.1.00 Release 1 -- V.3.30 Release 1

    2.2 Description
    In the nc30 Compiler, compiling source programs with the -fansi option being selected causes syntax errors.

    2.3 Workaround
    Please modify include file mr30.h stored in the INC30 directory under the one where MR30 has been installed as follows:

    Modified
      Line No. 17:   _asm(" C_inc     .EQU    1 \n\
      Line No. 361:  _asm("__MR_IntEntry      .MACRO         \n\
    Original
      Line No. 17:   asm(" C_inc     .EQU    1 \n\
      Line No. 361:  asm("__MR_IntEntry      .MACRO          \n\
    2.4 Schedule of Fixing the Problem
    We plan to fix this problem in our next release.
