medium📝 Command Output Q13 of 15

FreeRTOS - Debugging and Monitoring

TaskA switched out at 100ms
TaskB switched in at 100ms
TaskA switched in at 105ms
TaskB switched out at 110ms

ATask switch times overlap causing resource conflicts

BTaskA is starving and never runs

CTaskB runs longer than expected causing timing issues

DNo bug, tasks switch correctly

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Analyze task switch timing
TaskB runs from 100ms to 110ms (10ms), TaskA runs from 105ms to 105ms (0ms), overlapping occurs.
Step 2: Identify timing issue
TaskB runs longer than expected, overlapping TaskA's scheduled run, causing timing problems.
Final Answer:
TaskB runs longer than expected causing timing issues -> Option C
Quick Check:
Overlapping run times = timing bug [OK]

Quick Trick: Look for overlapping task run times in trace output [OK]
