Tidy up CEC1302 demo.
Ensure bit 0 of the task address is clear when setting up stack of initial Cortex-M3/4/7 stacks (for strict compliance, although not practically necessary).
vTaskGetTaskInfo() changed to vTaskGetInfo() - with a macro added for backward compatibility.
Reduce the number of xTaskCreateStatic() parameters by having the function return the task handle, rather than pass the task handle out using a parameter. This is also consistent with other objectCreate() functions.
+ The MPU port is not supported in this revision number.
+ The documentation for the static allocation functions in the header files has not yet been updated for this revision.
Kernel updates:
+ Simplify the static allocation of objects implementation.
+ Introduce configSUPPORT_DYNAMIC_ALLOCATION in addition to the existing configSUPPORT_STATIC_ALLOCATION so FreeRTOS can be built without providing a heap at all.
Demo application updates:
+ Update the demos to take into account the new configSUPPORT_DYNAMIC_ALLOCATION constant.
+ Add an MSVC demo that only uses static allocation, and does not include a FreeRTOS heap.
+ Update the MSVC project to use both configSUPPORT_STATIC_ALLOCATION and configSUPPORT_DYNAMIC_ALLOCATION.
+ Update the MingW project to use only configSUPPORT_DYNAMIC_ALLOCATION.
Fix build error when configSUPPORT_STATIC_ALLOCATION and configNUM_THREAD_LOCAL_STORAGE_POINTERS were greater than zero at the same time.
Allow the pdMS_TO_TICKS macro to be overridden by a definition in FreeRTOSConfig.h.
- Remove the standard demo files that used the [long since deprecated] alternative API.
- Add standard demo task that tests the new xTaskAbortDelay() function.
- Update the Win32 Visual Studio project to use Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition.
- Rename the xGenericListItem TCB member to xStateListItem as it better describes the member's purpose.
+ Added xTaskAbortDelay() function, which causes a task to exit the Blocked state even before the timeout has expired or the event the task is waiting for has occurred.
+ For efficiency and code size reasons on some architectures, replace many instances of "== pdTRUE" with "!= pdFALSE".
- Major refactor to consolidate the multiple places where a task is removed from a ready list and placed in a delay list into a single function, reducing code size, and enabling the easy addition of up-coming functionality.
- Replace the enum used for task notification states with a uint8_t to reduce the TCB struct size with some compilers, and allow additional members to be added without increasing its size.
- Rearrange FreeRTOS.h so all INCLUDE_ defaults are grouped together.
+ Added xPortIsInsideInterrupt() to RVDS ARM CM4F port - the same will get added to other ports in time.
Demo application code:
+ Added first pass Microchip CEC1302 demo for Keil.
+ Harden the new StaticAllocation.c standard demo tasks against integer promotion rules causing problems on 16-bit architectures.
Add a member to the TaskStatus_t structure that is used to return the base address of the stack used by the task being queried.
Add xTaskGetTaskHandle() that allows the handle of a task to be looked up from the task's text name.
Continue to document the macros that allow RTOS objects to be created using statically allocated memory.
Introduced vApplicationDaemonTaskStartupHook(), which allows initialisation that that needs to be executed after the scheduler has been started to be executed from the RTOS daemon task.
Call prvResetNextTaskUnblockTime() in xTaskResumeAll() if a task is moved from the pending ready list - this can prevent an unnecessary wake from sleep mode if a task is unblocked by an interrupt while in a low power tickless state.
Move structures used for static allocation of tasks and queues into FreeRTOS.h from their individual API header files.
Add SAME70 Xplained Atmel Studio project.
Update SAMV71 Atmel Studio project to use Studio 7.
Revert some changes to GenQTest.c standard demo task which only function correctly when a queue registry was used.
