TaskScheduler


	vTaskStartScheduler();		//<<<This FreeRTOS call is not required as the scheduler is already started before app_main() call

Create New xTask

Tasks should never return (i.e. be a continuous loop).


	xTaskCreate(
			[pointer to the function which will execute when the task is scheduled to run],
			[descriptive name for the the task, up to 16 chars, mainly used to facilitate debugging],
			[number of 16bit variables the stack can hold for the task (if the stack is 16 bits wide), e.g. 100 = 200 bytes allocated],
			[Pointer that will be used as the parameter for the task being created, or "NULL"],
			[priority at which the task should run, e.g. "5"],
			[pass back a handle by which the created task can be referenced, or "NULL"])
Examples

    xTaskCreate(i2c_test_task, "i2c_test_task_0", 1024 * 2, (void* ) 0, 10, NULL);

 

Exit A Task

Tasks must not attempt to return from their implementing function or otherwise exit.

If it is necessary for a task to exit then have the task call vTaskDelete( NULL ) to ensure its exit is clean.


void vATaskFunction( void *pvParameters )
{
	for( ;; )
	{
		//Task application code here
	}
	
	vTaskDelete( NULL );
}
