CCS/LPSTK-CC1352R: Correct use of Task_sleep

Hi,

I am trying to figure out the correct usage of Task_sleep.

In my project, I am having two tasks, task 1 is triggered by task 2 and will sleep for a certain time and then post an event in the second task. The problem I encountered is that sleep function does not work with semaphore so I have to use task_sleep.

<< Here is my task 1

So correct me if I am wrong, in order to sleep for N second, I should use Task_sleep(N*1000000/Clock_tickPeriod);

If that is correct, what is the maximum time I can sleep with task_sleep? My goal is to sleep for 1 hour, is that possible?

Thanks,

Hi YOYO,

That is correct, the Task_sleep() API takes "tick period" units which is given in us, your conversion should be fine.

1 h should be no problem, the maximum number of us you can pass in is 2^32 -1, so way more then 1h.
