FreeRTOS POSIX

Introduction

This example shows usage of POSIX APIs with FreeRTOS running underneath the POSIX layer. Usage of POSIX thread and POSIX message queue is shown in this example.

The example does the below

  • Creates worker message queues and worker threads

  • Creates a dispatcher thread

  • The dispatcher thread sends messages to each worker message queue

  • After few iterations, a exit message is sent and dispatcher and worker threads then exit

  • The main thread waits until all the created threads have finished.

Supported Combinations

Steps to Run the Example

  • When using CCS projects to build, import the CCS project for the required combination and build it using the CCS project menu (see Using SDK with CCS Projects).

  • When using makefiles to build, note the required combination and build using make command (see Using SDK with Makefiles)
