[Solved] Identify the error in this static task creation code snippet: StaticTask_t taskBuffer; StackType_t stackBuffer[100]; xTaskCreateStatic(TaskFunction, "Task", 100, NULL, 1, NULL, &taskBuffer); | FreeRTOS

FreeRTOS - Memory Management

Identify the error in this static task creation code snippet:

StaticTask_t taskBuffer;
StackType_t stackBuffer[100];

xTaskCreateStatic(TaskFunction, "Task", 100, NULL, 1, NULL, &taskBuffer);

AFunction name is incorrect; should be xTaskCreate.

BTask buffer pointer is NULL, causing invalid task control block.

CStack buffer pointer is NULL, causing invalid stack memory.

DTask priority is invalid (should be zero).

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check parameters passed to xTaskCreateStatic
The stack buffer pointer is NULL, which means no memory is provided for the task's stack.
Step 2: Understand consequences of NULL stack buffer
Without a valid stack buffer, the task cannot run properly and will cause errors.
Final Answer:
Stack buffer pointer is NULL, causing invalid stack memory. -> Option C
Quick Check:
Stack buffer must not be NULL [OK]

Quick Trick: Stack buffer pointer must be valid, not NULL [OK]
