Using xTimerReset() inside a timer callback

Posted by jacwit on March 20, 2012
Hi Everyone- Is it acceptable to use xTimerReset() inside the timer’s callback function? Before I start the scheduler, I create a timer with xAutoReload set to pdFALSE.
then I set it active using xTimerStart(). I check all the return codes to make sure
pdTRUE. Inside the timer’s callback function, I use xTimerReset() to reload the timer. It works but then the OS just hangs up. If I comment out the xTimerReset() code, it works fine with no issues. Is this a bug or is this not allowed? Could i reset another timer using xTimerReset() inside a timer callback? Thanks, Jon

It is not a problem to call the reset function from inside the callback. Regards.

Ok, I figured this out. I thought configTIMER_TASK_STACK_DEPTH 80 would be sufficient. It’s not, so I bumped it to 160 and it’s fine. Suprising, since I coded a very contrived example.
