[Solved] Identify the error in this code snippet intended to delay a task for 200 milliseconds: void Task(void *params) { while(1) { doWork(); vTaskDelay(200); } } | FreeRTOS

FreeRTOS - Task Scheduling

Identify the error in this code snippet intended to delay a task for 200 milliseconds:

void Task(void *params) {
    while(1) {
        doWork();
        vTaskDelay(200);
    }
}

AvTaskDelay cannot be used inside a while loop

BdoWork() must be called after vTaskDelay()

CThe task function must return a value

DvTaskDelay should use pdMS_TO_TICKS(200) to convert milliseconds

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check vTaskDelay argument
The argument 200 is treated as ticks, not milliseconds. To delay 200 ms, convert using pdMS_TO_TICKS(200).
Step 2: Verify other code parts
Calling doWork() before delay is valid. The task function returns void, which is correct.
Final Answer:
vTaskDelay should use pdMS_TO_TICKS(200) to convert milliseconds -> Option D
Quick Check:
Convert ms to ticks with pdMS_TO_TICKS() [OK]

Quick Trick: Always convert ms to ticks before passing to vTaskDelay() [OK]
