A Note on Real-Time OS
M3T-MR32R

Please take note of the following problem in using real-time OS M3T-MR32R for the M32R family of MCUs:
  • On the description of the "Definition respective maximum numbers of items" section in the configuration file


  1. Versions Concerned
    M3T-MR32R V.3.20 Release 1 -- V.3.40 Release 1

  2. Description
    When executing the configuration file, the configurator continues outputting the "sys_rom.inc" file without terminating itself.

  3. Conditions
    This problem occurs if either of the following conditions is satisfied:
    (1) For any of the object types listed below, the maximum number of it is not defined in the definition respective maximum numbers of items section (the maxdefine{ } section), and 33 or more objects of the same type as the above are defined in that object type's property definitions.
    (2) For any of the object types listed below, the maximum number of it is defined in the definition respective maximum numbers of items section, and then a lot of objects of the same type as the above are defined in that object type's property definitions; at this time, the number of objects in the latter definition exceeds the maximum number in the former and is equal to 33 or greater.

    List of the Object Types Concerned
    • Event flag
    • Mailbox
    • Semaphore
    • Fixed-length memory pool
    • Port for rendezvous
    • Mailbox with precedence

  4. Workaround
    For every object type, define the maximum number of objects in the definition respective maximum numbers of items section so that it is not less than the number of objects of the same type defined in that object type's property definitions.

  5. Schedule of Fixing the Problem
    We plan to fix this problem in our next release.
