Tasks

RTX166 Tiny is basically a task switcher. To create an RTX166 Tiny program, you must create an application with one or more task functions. The following details will help you to quickly gain an understanding of RTX166.

• Tasks are defined in the C Programming Language using new keywords supported by the Keil C166 Compiler.
• RTX166 Tiny maintains each task in exactly one state (Running, Ready, Waiting, Deleted, or Time-Out).
• Only one task at a time may be in the Running State.
• Many tasks may be in the Ready, Waiting, Deleted, or Time-Out States.
• An Idle Task is always ready to run in the event that all of your defined tasks are blocked.
