C++ pthread Example

(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)

Support for the C++ threads in ESP-IDF is implemented on top of the ESP-pthread component. Thus, C++ threads created using the standard thread class constructor will automatically inherit the current ESP-pthread configuration. This example demonstrates how to leverage the thread configuration functions provided by ESP-pthread (e.g., esp_pthread_get_default_config() and esp_pthread_set_cfg()) to modify the stack sizes, priorities, names, and core affinities of the C++ threads.

Note: Due to the use of the C++ threads, this example is written in C++ instead of C.

How to use example

Hardware Required

This example should be able to run on any commonly available ESP32 development board.

Configure the project

idf.py menuconfig

• The default ESP-pthread configuration may also be modified under Component config > PThreads

Build and Flash

Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output:

idf.py -p PORT flash monitor

(Replace PORT with the name of the serial port to use.)

(To exit the serial monitor, type Ctrl-].)

See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.

Example Output

The following log output should appear when the example runs (note that the bootloader log has been omitted).
