Basic Thread Example
|
|
####################
|
|
|
|
Overview
|
|
********
|
|
|
|
This example demonstrates spawning multiple threads using
|
|
:c:func:`K_THREAD_DEFINE`. It spawns three threads. Each thread is then defined
|
|
at compile time using K_THREAD_DEFINE.
|
|
|
|
The first two each control an LED. These LEDs, ``led0`` and ``led1``, have
|
|
loop control and timing logic controlled by separate functions.
|
|
|
|
- ``blink0()`` controls ``led0`` and has a 100ms sleep cycle
|
|
- ``blink1()`` controls ``led1`` and has a 1000ms sleep cycle
|
|
|
|
When either of these threads toggles its LED, it also pushes information into a
|
|
:ref:`FIFO <fifos_v2>` identifying the thread/LED and how many times it has
|
|
been toggled.
|
|
|
|
The third thread uses :c:func:`printk` to print the information added to the
|
|
FIFO to the device console.
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
************
|
|
|
|
The board must have two LEDs connected via GPIO pins. These are called "User
|
|
LEDs" on many of Zephyr's :ref:`boards`. The LEDs must be configured using the
|
|
``led0`` and ``led1`` :ref:`devicetree <dt-guide>` aliases, usually in the
|
|
:ref:`BOARD.dts file <devicetree-in-out-files>`.
|
|
|
|
You will see one of these errors if you try to build this sample for an
|
|
unsupported board:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: none
|
|
|
|
Unsupported board: led0 devicetree alias is not defined
|
|
Unsupported board: led1 devicetree alias is not defined
|
|
|
|
Building
|
|
********
|
|
|
|
For example, to build this sample for :ref:`96b_carbon_board`:
|
|
|
|
.. zephyr-app-commands::
|
|
:zephyr-app: samples/basic/threads
|
|
:board: 96b_carbon
|
|
:goals: build flash
|
|
:compact:
|
|
|
|
Change ``96b_carbon`` appropriately for other supported boards.
