</div>RTEMS lacks a condition variable (monitor) implementation within the<br>
classic API located in cpukit/rtems/*, and also within the supercore<br>
"kernel" interface located in cpukit/score/*. There is condition<br>
variables support in posix, as the<br>
cpukit/posix/include/rtems/posix/condimpl.h.<br>
<div class=""><br></div></blockquote><div>OK, i have some rtems experience so i will first design the CV and implement it in score component, then warp it into classic api.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">

</div>It should implement a classic API condition variable that can be<br>
similar to the classic API implementation of semaphore<br>
(cpukit/rtems/include/rtems/rtems/sem.h and semimpl.h). The condition<br>
variable should be implemented in the supercore (cpukit/score) and<br>
that implementation should be shared by the posix condvar and the<br>
classic API condition variables.<br>
<div class=""><br></div></blockquote><div>Yeah, i will refer to implementation of semaphore and mutex. And there are lots of open source CV implementation for many os, such freebsd, netbsd, linux, eCos. About linux its license may be is not compatible with RTEMS, so i just learn its idea instead of code. </div>

><br>
</div>The implementation must support SMP.<br></blockquote><div>Yeah, it will be a challenge. But as i know the SMP support of RTEMS is becoming better, some SMP synchronization primitives have been support, like atomic. I am wondering whether semaphore and mutex is supported SMP?<br>
