Functions

The RI600/PX kernel consists of the following modules. Each module is provided by functions (service calls) .

  • Scheduler
    Manages execution sequence of multiple tasks based on their priority levels.
  • Task management
    Manages task status such as RUNNING, READY, WAITING or SUSPENDED.
  • Task-dependent synchronization
    Changes task status from other task, and synchronizes tasks.
  • Interrupt management function
    Makes a return from the interrupt handler.
  • Time management
    Sets system timer used by RI600/PX kernel and starts user-defined alarm handler and cyclic handler.
  • System configuration management
    Reports information such as version number of RI600/PX kernel.
  • Synchronization/communication
    Carries out synchronization and communication between tasks. The following function modules are available:
    • Event flag
      An object to control the execution of a task according to the AND/OR condition represented by bit pattern.
    • Semaphore
      An object for exclusive control of shared devices and variables for two or more tasks.
    • Mail box
      An object to communicate an arbitrary-length message by pointer passing.
    • Data queue
      An object to perform 1-word (32 bits) communication.
  • Extended Synchronization/Communication
    Carries out synchronization and communication between tasks. The following function modules are available:
    • Message buffer
      Makes use of variable-length data communication to synchronize tasks.
    • Mutex
      Makes use of priority ceiling protocol for avoiding priority inversion to synchronize tasks.
  • Memory pool management
    Dynamically allocates/frees memory area used by tasks. Enables efficient use of memory.
  • Task exception handling function
    Controls execution of task exceptions by, for example, defining or activating a task exception.
  • Cyclic handler function
    Controls the execution of a handler activated periodically.
  • Alarm handler function
    Controls the execution of a handler activated at the specified relative-time.
  • Memory protection function
    The following functions are available:
    1. Detection of illegal access by tasks
    2. Protection of stack for task
    3. Detection of illegal access by the kernel
