Issue with delay();

[WildSwan]

Describe the issue delay() function stops the code from continuing.

Sample code:

=================================================================
#include <Arduino_FreeRTOS.h>

void setup() {

  // initialize serial communication at 9600 bits per second:
  Serial.begin(115200);

  delay(1000);

  Serial.println("Setup starts.");    // This wont execute anymore.

}

void loop()
{
  // Empty. Things are done in Tasks.
}
=================================================================

Expected behavior "Setup starts." should be displayed on the serial monitor.

delay() relies on the scheduler to operate. The scheduler is only initialised on return from the setup() function. So your example code can never work.

Do not use delay within the setup and you will be fine.
