|
|
|
- * - Multi-thread management
|
|
|
- * - Synchronization mechanisms
|

|
- * - Inter-thread communication

- * @brief the thread management
|
|
|
- *
|
|
|
- * RT-Thread operating system supports multitask systems, which are based on thread
|
|
|
- * scheduling.
|
|
|
- * - The scheduling is a full preemptive priority-based scheduling algorithm.
|
|
|
- * - 8/32/256 priority levels are supported, in which 0 is the highest and 7/31/255 the lowest.
|
|
|
- * The 7/31/255th priority is used for idle thread.
|
|
|
- * - Threads running at same priority level are supported. The shared time-slice
|
|
|
- * round-robin scheduling is used for this case.
|
|
|
- * - The time of scheduler to choose the next highest ready thread is determinant.
|
|
|
- * - There are four status in thread management
|
|
|
- * -# Initialization
|
|
|
- * -# Running/Ready
|
|
|
- * -# Blocked
|
|
|
- * -# Closed
|
|
|
- * - The number of threads in the system is unlimited, only related with RAM.

|
|
|
- * The Kernel object system can access and manage all of the kernel objects.
|
|
|
- *
|
|
|
- * Kernel objects include most of the facilities in the kernel:
|
|
|
- * - thread
|
|
|
- * - semaphore and mutex
|

|
|
|
- * Kernel objects can be static objects, whose memory is allocated in compiling.
|
|
|
- * It can be dynamic objects as well, whose memory is allocated from system heaps

|
|
|
- * @brief inter-thread communication
|
|
|
- *
|
|
|
- * RT-Thread operating system supports the traditional semaphore and mutex.
|
|
|
- * - Mutex objects use inherited priority to prevent priority reversion.
|
|
|
- * - The semaphore release action is safe for interrupt service routine.
|
|
|
- *
|
|
|
- * Moreover, the blocked queue for thread to obtain semaphore or mutex can be sorted
|
|
|
- * by priority or FIFO. There are two flags to indicate this mechanism.
|
|
|
- * - RT_IPC_FLAG_FIFO
|
|
|
- * when the resource is available, thread pended on this resource at first would get
|
|
|
- * the resource.
|
|
|
- * - RT_IPC_FLAG_PRIO
|
|
|
- * when the resource is available, thread pended on this resource who had the most high
|
|
|
- * priority would get the resource.
|
|
|
- *
|
|
|
- * RT-Thread operating systems supports event/fast event, mail box and message queue.
|
|
|
- * - The event mechanism is used to awake a thread by setting one or more corresponding
|
|
|
- * bit of a binary number when an event ocurs.
|
|
|
- * - The fast event supports event thread queue. Once a one bit event occurs, the corresponding
|
|
|
- * blocked thread can be found out timing accurately, then will be waked up.
|
|
|
- * - In mailbox, the mail length is fixed to 4 byte, which is more effective than message queue.
|
|
|
- * - The send action for communication facilities is also safe for interrupt service routine.

- * @brief memory management for memory pool and heap memory
|
|
|
- *
|
|
|
- * RT-Thread operating system supports two types memory management:
|
|
|
- * - Static memory pool management
|
|
|
- * - Dynamic memory heap management.
|
|
|
- *
|
|
|
- * The time to allocate a memory block from the memory pool is determinant. When
|
|
|
- * the memory pool is empty, the allocated thread can be blocked (or immediately return,
|
|
|
- * or waiting for sometime to return, which are determined by a timeout parameter).
|
|
|
- * When other thread releases memory blocks to this memory pool, the blocked thread is
|
|
|
- * wake up.
|
|
|
- *
|
|
|
- * There are two methods in dynamic memory heap management, one is used for small memory,
|
|
|
- * such as less than 1MB. Another is a SLAB like memory management, which is suitable
|
|
|
- * for large memory system. All of them has no real-time character.
