ESP-IDF FreeRTOS Hooks
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
Overview
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
FreeRTOS consists of Idle Hooks and Tick Hooks which allow for application
|
|
specific funtiionality to be added to the Idle Task and Tick Interrupt. The
|
|
ESP32 is dual core in nature, hence the ESP-IDF provides its own Idle and Tick
|
|
Hooks that are dual core compatible in addition to the hooks provided by Vanilla
|
|
FreeRTOS.
|
|
|
|
Vanilla FreeRTOS Hooks
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Idle and Tick Hooks in vanilla FreeRTOS are implemented by defining
|
|
implementations for the functions ``vApplicationIdleHook`` and
|
|
``vApplicationTickHook`` respectively somewhere in the application. Vanilla
|
|
FreeRTOS will run the user defined Idle Hook every iteration of the Idle Task,
|
|
whereas the user defined Tick Hook will run once per tick interrupt (given that
|
|
there are no pended ticks).
|
|
|
|
Due to vanilla FreeRTOS being designed for single core, ``vApplicationIdleHook``
|
|
and ``vApplicationTickHook`` will be run in both cores on the ESP32. In
|
|
other words, the same Idle Hook and Tick Hook are used for both cores.
|
|
|
|
To enable the vanilla FreeRTOS hooks in ESP-IDF, :ref:`CONFIG_FREERTOS_LEGACY_HOOKS`
|
|
must be enabled in ``make menuconfig``. :ref:`CONFIG_FREERTOS_LEGACY_IDLE_HOOK`
|
|
and :ref:`CONFIG_FREERTOS_LEGACY_TICK_HOOK` should also be enabled.
|
|
|
|
ESP-IDF Idle and Tick Hooks
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
Due to the dual core nature of the ESP32, it may be necessary for some
|
|
applications to have seperate Idle Hooks for each core. Furthermore, it may
|
|
be necessary for Idle and Tick Hooks to have execute multiple functionalities
|
|
that are configurable at run time. Therefore the ESP-IDF provides it's own Idle
|
|
and Tick Hooks in addition to the hooks provided by Vanilla FreeRTOS.
|
|
|
|
The ESP-IDF Hooks do not operate in the same way as Vanilla FreeRTOS Hooks
|
|
where users provide a definition for each of the hooks. Instead, the ESP-IDF
|
|
Hooks are predefined to call a list of user registered callbacks specific to
|
|
each core. Users can register and deregister callbacks which are run on the
|
|
Idle or Tick Hook of a specific core.
