os_wait

#include <rtx51tny.h>

char os_wait (
  unsigned char event_sel,      /* events to wait for */
  unsigned char ticks,          /* timer ticks to wait */
  unsigned int dummy);          /* unused argument */

The os_wait function halts the current task and waits for one or several events such as a time interval, a time-out, or a signal from another task or interrupt. The event_sel argument specifies the event or events to wait for and can be any combination of the following manifest constants:

Events may be logically ORed using the vertical bar character ('|'). For example, K_TMO | K_SIG, specifies that the task wait for a time-out or for a signal.

The ticks argument specifies the number of timer ticks to wait for an interval event (K_IVL) or a time-out event (K_TMO).

The dummy argument is provided for compatibility with RTX51 Full and is not used in RTX51 Tiny.

Note

• This function is part of the RTX51 Tiny Real-Time Operating System which is included only with the PK51 Professional Developer's Kit.
• Refer to Events for more information about K_IVL, K_TMO, and K_SIG.

When one of the specified events occurs, the task is put in the READY state. When the task resumes execution, the manifest constant that identifies the event that restarted the task is returned by os_wait. Possible return values are:

#include <rtx51tny.h>
#include <stdio.h>       /* for printf */

void tst_os_wait (void) _task_ 9
{
while (1)
  {
  char event;

  event = os_wait (K_SIG + K_TMO, 50, 0);

  switch (event)
    {
    default:             /* this never happens */
      break;

    case TMO_EVENT:      /* time-out */
                         /* 50 tick time-out */
      break;

    case SIG_EVENT:      /* signal received */
      break;
    }
