=====
Tasks
=====

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

.. code-block:: c

    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

.. code-block:: c
    
    static OS_STK TaskOneStack[size];

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