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).

...
