[Solved] Identify the error in this heartbeat task code snippet:void vHeartbeatTask(void *pvParameters) { while(1) { printf("Heartbeat\n"); vTaskDelay(1000); } } | FreeRTOS

FreeRTOS - Design Patterns for RTOS

Identify the error in this heartbeat task code snippet:

void vHeartbeatTask(void *pvParameters) {
  while(1) {
    printf("Heartbeat\n");
    vTaskDelay(1000);
  }
}

AvTaskDelay() argument should be in ticks, not milliseconds

Bprintf() cannot be used inside tasks

Cwhile(1) should be for(;;)

DMissing task notification call

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check vTaskDelay argument type
vTaskDelay() expects delay in ticks, not milliseconds directly.
Step 2: Correct usage
Use pdMS_TO_TICKS(1000) to convert 1000 ms to ticks for vTaskDelay.
Final Answer:
vTaskDelay() argument should be in ticks, not milliseconds -> Option A
Quick Check:
vTaskDelay(ms) wrong, use pdMS_TO_TICKS(ms) [OK]

Quick Trick: Always convert ms to ticks with pdMS_TO_TICKS() [OK]
