Tasks

• Tasks are implemented as functions with infinite loops.
• Optional data can be passed to the function through the pdata pointer.

void task(void *pdata)
{
    while(1)
    {
        // Do work
    }
}

Task Stack

• Each task requires a stack to be allocated before the task is created.
• Allocations can be static or dynamic.
• Static global

static OS_STK TaskOneStack[size];

• Dynamic

  • Using malloc.
  • On another tasks stack if small and short lived.
