|
|
* Timers, I/O channels and other HW resources are simulated in a

/**

|
|
* @section naming Naming Conventions
|
|
* ChibiOS/RT APIs are all named following this convention:
|
|
* \a ch\<group\>\<action\>\<suffix\>().
|
|
* The possible groups are: \a Sys, \a Sch, \a VT, \a Thd, \a Sem, \a Mtx,
|
|
* \a Evt, \a Msg, \a IQ, \a OQ, \a HQ,\a FDD, \a HDD, \a Dbg.
|
|
* The suffix is not present for normal APIs but can be one of
|
|
* the following: "I" for APIs meant to be invoked within the system mutex
|
|
* zone, "S" for APIs only useable from within the system mutex zone but not
|
|
* from interrupt handlers.<br>
|
|
* The APIs without suffix can be invoked only from the user code outsize the
|
|
* system mutex zone and not from interrupt handlers unless differently
|
|
* specified.<br>
|
|
* Examples: \p chThdCreate(), \p chSemSignalI(), \p chIQGetTimeout().
|
|
*
|
|
* @section scheduling Scheduling
|
|
* The strategy is very simple the currently ready thread with the highest
|
|
* priority is executed. If more than one thread with equal priority are
|
|
* eligible for execution then they are executed in a round-robin way, the
|
|
* CPU time slice constant is configurable. The ready list is a double linked
|
|
* list of threads ordered by priority.
|
|
* @image html readylist.png
|
|
* Note that the currently running thread is not in the ready list, the list
|
|
* only contains the threads ready to be executed but still actually waiting.
|
|
*
|
|
* @section states Threads States Diagram
|
|
* The image shows how threads can change their state in ChibiOS/RT.<br>
|
|
* @image html states.png
|
|
*
|
|
* @section warea Thread Working Area
|
|
* Each thread has its own stack, a Thread structure and a registers dump
|
|
* structure. All the structures are allocated into a "Thread working area",
|
|
* a thread private heap, usually allocated in a char array declared in your
|
|
* code, there is not a central threads table or list, this means you can
|
|
* have as many threads you want as long you have enough available RAM
|
|
* memory. The threads do not use any memory outside the allocated working
|
|
* area.<br>
|
|
* @image html workspace.png
|
|
* <br>
|
|
* Note that the registers dump is only present when the Thread is not
|
|
* running, the context switching is done by pushing the registers on the
|
|
* stack of the switched-out thread and popping the registers of the
|
|
* switched-in thread from its stack.
|
|
*
|
|
* @section sysmutex System Mutex Zone
|
|
* It is the code within the OS that cannot be preempted, this code is
|
|
* everything between the \p chSysLock() and \p chSysUnlock() API calls.
|
|
* The implementation of the APIs in most cases just enables/disables the
|
|
* interrupts. Of course the code in the system mutex zone must be as short
|
|
* and efficient possible as it affects the RT performance of the whole
|
|
* system. The worst case response time is affected by the longest code
|
|
* path in the system mutex zone or interrupt handler.
|
|
* @code
|
|
* // User code, not critical, preemption possible.
|
|
* chSysLock();
|
|
* ...
|
|
* // System critical code, preemption delayed.
|
|
* ...
|
|
* chSysUnlock();
|
|
* // User code, preemption possible again.
|
|
* @endcode
|
|
* Applications usually do not need to put code into the system mutex zone
|
|
* unless you are implementing device drivers or special synchronization
|
|
* primitives, everything else can be implemented by using semaphores,
|
|
* mutexes, messages or events.

* The ARM7 port makes some assumptions on the application code organization:
|
|
* <ul>
|
|
* <li>The \p main() function is invoked in system mode.</li>
|
|
* <li>Each thread has a private user/system stack, the system has a single
|
|
* interrupt stack where all the interrupts are processed.</li>
|
|
* <li>The threads are started in system mode.</li>
|
|
* <li>The threads code can run in system mode or user mode, however the
|
|
* code running in user mode cannot invoke the ChibiOS/RT APIs directly
|
|
* because privileged instructions are used inside.<br>
|
|
* The kernel APIs can be eventually invoked by using a SWI entry point
|
|
* that handles the switch in system mode and the return in user mode.</li>
|
|
* <li>Other modes are not preempt-able because the system code assumes the
|
|
* threads running in system mode. When running in supervisor or other
|
|
* modes make sure that the interrupts are globally disabled.</li>
|
|
* <li>Interrupts nesting is not supported in the ARM7 code because their
|
|
* implementation, even if possible, is not really efficient in this
|
|
* architecture.</li>
|
|
* <li>FIQ sources can preempt the kernel (by design) so it is not possible to
|
|
* invoke the kernel APIs from inside a FIQ handler.</li>

|
* Messages are an easy to use and fast IPC mechanism, threads can both serve

|
* messages and send messages to other threads, the mechanism allows data to

|
* server threads but just a pointer passed so the exchange is very time
|
|
* efficient.<br>
|

|
|
* in \p chconf.h.<br>
|

|
|
* @{
|
|
* ChibiOS/RT supports several kinds of queues. The queues are mostly used
|
|
* in serial-like device drivers. The device drivers are usually designed to
|
|
* have a lower side (lower driver, it is usually an interrupt service
|
|
* routine) and an upper side (upper driver, accessed by the application
|
|
* threads).<br>
|
|
* There are several kind of queues:<br>
|
|
* <ul>
|
|
* <li><b>Input queue</b>, monodirectional queue where the writer is the
|
|
* lower side and the reader is the upper side.</li>
|
|
* <li><b>Output queue</b>, monodirectional queue where the writer is the
|
|
* upper side and the reader is the lower side.</li>
|
|
* <li><b>Half duplex queue</b>, bidirectional queue where the buffer is shared
|
|
* between a receive and a transmit queues. This means that concurrent
|
|
* buffered input and output operations are not possible, this is perfectly
|
|
* acceptable for a lot of applications however, as example an RS485 driver.
|
|
* <li><b>Full duplex queue</b>, bidirectional queue where read and write
|
|
* operations can happen at the same time. Full duplex queues
|
|
* are implemented by pairing an input queue and an output queue together.
|
|
* </ul>
|
|
* In order to use the I/O queues the \p CH_USE_QUEUES option must
|
|
* be specified in \p chconf.h.<br>
|
|
* In order to use the half duplex queues the \p CH_USE_QUEUES_HALFDUPLEX
|
|
* option must be specified in \p chconf.h.
