|
|
<p>In most applications, threads need to <b>communicate</b> <b>with</b> <b>each</b> <b>other</b> or <b>access</b> <b>shared</b> <b>resources</b> together. There are many ways to exchange data between threads, for example using shared data, polling loops and message passing.</p>
|
|
<p>Many resources in a microcontroller can be considered as <b>serially-reusable</b>. This means that they can be used repeatedly by different threads, but only by <b>one</b> <b>thread</b> <b>at</b> <b>a</b> <b>time</b> (for example communication peripherals such as <b>UARTs</b>, <b>memory</b>, and <b>files</b> that need to be modified).</p>
|
|
<p>The CMSIS-RTOS API provides different means to pass messages between threads to make inter-thread communication more efficient. Also, resource sharing is inherently supported. The following methods are available to the user: </p>
