RES: testing multitasking rtems

[Wendell Pereira da Silva]

Luca,

Unless you have two CPUs (or a dual core CPU) and SMP support for your BSP, it's impossible to get two tasks running at the same time (if I understood what you mean "... a second task running when one is still running).
In most cases, on single core (or single processor) BSP's tasks share the same CPU being droved by any scheduling policy implemented in the RTOS.

If you want your tasks sharing the CPU, please, check the tasks priority, attributes and execution mode.

Probably task one has higher priority than task two, and task one never blocks.

A good reference is the RTEMS Users Guide<http://www.rtems.org/onlinedocs/releases/rtemsdocs-4.10.2/share/rtems/pdf/c_user.pdf>, topic 5.2.

Hope it helps.

How can I run Two tasks in the same time? Evey task ends with delete_task so the next task starts
when the previous is finished. How can I make a second task running when task one is still running?

Example:

rtems_task Init(rtems_task_argument ignored)
{

    ...
    rtems_task_start(task_id1...)
    rtems_task_start(task_id2...)
    ...
}


I want that task 2 starts while task1 is still running? How can I do this?
Thank you

    Luca

Hi all,
is there on line or in rtems documentaion any exmaple (c source code) of
how testing multitasking?
Nearly every test is multitasking. All are if you consider there is
at least an application task/thread and an idle task.

The most basic tests for a BSP are hello and ticker. Ticker has
3 user tasks which run at different intervals.

I'm not able to find any suggestion. Thank you
