Hi guys: i am trying to compile the following code in vscode+platfromIO : code.zip Not success, here is the output

I am not sure what compiler the ESP8266 is using, but HeliOS should compile just fine. To deal with the error, can you try casting the task name as shown below?

xTask GetThermoTask = xTaskCreate((const unsigned char*) "THERMO",taskThermo_Get,&BT_ArrayIndex);

@MannyPeterson

Here is the log output that casting the task name in your way ,result is not working .I will try in ARDUINO IDE later .

In PlatfromIO esp8266 use framework-arduinoespressif8266 @ 3.30002.0 (3.0.2) toolchain-xtensa @ 2.100300.210717 (10.3.0)

Update ： I run the same code in arduinoIDE 1.8.19 and arduinoIDE 2.04.Both works .

Sorry, not sure what is going on. I test HeliOS on the ESP8266 using PlatformIO. What are you using?

I will add this to the development backlog and will test when HeliOS 0.4.0 releases which is soon. Thanks for brining this to my attention!
