Hello,
I've just ran into the strangest issue and I'm not exactly sure where to even start. I have two projects, they both use QSPI to write to the BT817, not sure that matters but want to give as much information as possible. One project uses FreeRTOS and the other one doesn't. When the FreeRTOS version runs through the initialization, I try to set the REG_PWM_DUTY to 25 and it crashes everything, the QSPI command returns successfully but then it crashes the debugger. I've never ran into anything like this. Has anyone experienced this before? It's only on the setting of, REG_PWM_DUTY which calls TFT_qspi_write8(...), other commands call the same method with no issues. Below is my initialization code as well as my write 8 method.
The non-freeRTOS project runs fine all day long using the exact same code. Only difference is it uses a timer to update the display running off the main thread.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Kindest regards.

. I tried using the Windows Anton font to make sure it wasn't something with the font I changed and that's when I saw it. I'm setting the font to, 13 but I then use a system font, 31.
