Thank you for all the help. I have made a lot of progress. I think there might be a bug lm3s811 device, but I will look into that and log a bug if I find it. As usual with these problems, it was not just one thing.
The TI make files for using gcc produced bad code (I hand check by looking at the assembly files). The FreeRTOS build was cause crashes due to other bugs I think the lm3s811 might have a bug (with the display) which was what I was focusing on. Thank you for everyone who responded. I think this bug can be marked closed.
