FreeRTOS - RTOS Fundamentals

This FreeRTOS code snippet has an error:

void Task(void *pvParameters) {
  while(1) {
    vTaskDelay(100);
    printf("Running");
  }
}

What is the error?

AvTaskDelay argument should be in ticks, not milliseconds

Bprintf cannot be used inside tasks

Cwhile(1) should be for(;;)

DTask function must return an int

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check vTaskDelay parameter
vTaskDelay expects delay in ticks, not raw milliseconds.
Step 2: Correct usage
Use vTaskDelay(100 / portTICK_PERIOD_MS) to convert milliseconds to ticks.
Final Answer:
vTaskDelay argument should be in ticks, not milliseconds -> Option A
Quick Check:
vTaskDelay needs ticks, not ms [OK]

Quick Trick: Convert ms to ticks using portTICK_PERIOD_MS [OK]
