Stellaris Launchpad (EX-LM4F120XL) Multi-Threading? Example code?

David Ferreira

I have an application to work on that I feel might be best implemented using multiple threads.

I have a Stellaris Launchpad (EX-LM4F120XL) and I'm wondering if this device can be made to run multiple threads.

If so, can I do this using the free IAR Kickstart IDE?

Does anyone know of a multi-threaded example to work from?

Thanks!

    Hello David,

    Please have a look at the following threads that have been raised for multi-threaded examples and implementations

    Thanks, Amit. I did a quick scan of those threads and I think I found a preliminary answer:

    The Stellaris WON'T do true multi-threading, but an RTOS will do some fancy task switching that could be a proxy for true multi-threading. Is that a reasonable synopsis?

    Just as an aside, does TI make a microprocessor that DOES true multi-threading and is there an eval board I can play with?

    Thank you!

    Hello David

    There are other processors in the Sitara family of device which support multi threaded applications
