Typedef Documentation

TaskP_FxnMain

typedef void(* TaskP_FxnMain) (void *args)

Entry point to the task.

Function Documentation

TaskP_Params_init()

void TaskP_Params_init

(

TaskP_Params *

params

)

Set default values to TaskP_Params.

Strongly recommended to be called before seting values in TaskP_Params

Parameters

params

[out] parameter structure to set to default

TaskP_construct()

int32_t TaskP_construct	(	TaskP_Object *	obj,
		TaskP_Params *	params
	)

Create a task object.

Parameters

obj	[out] Created object
params	[in] Task create parameters

Returns

SystemP_SUCCESS on success, SystemP_FAILURE on error

TaskP_destruct()

void TaskP_destruct

(

TaskP_Object *

obj

)

Cleanup, delete, destruct a task object.

Parameters

obj	[in] task object

TaskP_getHndl()

void* TaskP_getHndl

(

TaskP_Object *

obj

)

Return OS defined task handle.

Parameters

obj	[in] task object

Returns

OS specific task handle

TaskP_yield()

void TaskP_yield

(

)

Yield current task.

TaskP_exit()

void TaskP_exit

(

)

Exit current task.

In FreeRTOS, task cannot simply return from a function. It needs to call vTaskDelete(NULL) instead. To keep the task exit portable, call this function when a task wants to terminate itself.

TaskP_loadGet()

void TaskP_loadGet	(	TaskP_Object *	obj,
		TaskP_Load *	taskLoad
	)

Get task load.

Parameters

obj	[out] Created object
taskLoad	[out] Task load statistics

TaskP_loadUpdateAll()

void TaskP_loadUpdateAll

(

)

Updated task load statistics.

This updates task load statistics for all tasks created with TaskP_construct(). This also updates idle task load.

This function is called, every TaskP_LOAD_UPDATE_WINDOW_MSEC msecs within the IDLE task. It is important that idle task get to run atleast once every TaskP_LOAD_UPDATE_WINDOW_MSEC msecs for the load statistics to be correct

TaskP_loadResetAll()

void TaskP_loadResetAll

(

)

Reset task load statistics.

Until load statistics is reset the load statistics keep getting accumulated

TaskP_loadGetTotalCpuLoad()

uint32_t TaskP_loadGetTotalCpuLoad

(

)

Get total CPU load including all task and ISR execution time.

Returns

CPU load in units of percentage with 2 decimal point precision, i.e 1234 means 12.34%
