| RTOS and clock ... |

I have a question: there is a minimum clock rate to use a rtos built in functions?
I'am using a PIC18F2525 and an external clock of 8MHz in EC mode, because i need the FOSC/4 for an external A/D converter.. I have no problem for the other function, but if i try to use tasks the chip seems dead... I wrong something? The clock is too slow? |

Yes the clock seems too low for use a rtos built in functions, (the compiler would complain) at least if you are using timer0. A trick is to change to timer1.

I tried to use timer0 in 16bit mode, with no prescaler ... but nothing
why the trick is to use Timer1 ? |

For the same reason. Timer0 is 8 or 16 bit timer/counter software selectable. After Power_on Reset (default mode) is configured as 8 bit. (T0CON.T08BIT = 1 )
I (we ?) doesn't know how CCS implement it�s hidden built in rtos functions and by far also doesn't know how Timer0 was configured.
Suggesting to use Timer1 instead of Timer0 was a "trick" I used to do to get running the rtos with a 16F877 @20Mhz where Timer0 is 8 bit only.
#use rtos(timer=0,minor_cycle=100ms)
#use rtos(timer=1,minor_cycle=100ms)
