BLE stack 1.2 OSAL

Hi Ran,

What you mean by "raising event to the OSAL"?

Do you want to signal some other task about changes in one of the HAL modules?

hi Igor,

More or less, i want to do something after 5 interrupts (coming from one of the HAL modules).

For that, i need to invoke (after count the interrupts):

osal_set_even(uint8, uint16)

As far as i understood.

I want the OSAL to treat my event (that osal_set_event set).

I don't think it's other task, i think it's to raise ,the HAL event, to higher abstraction layer (OSAL) .

Correct me if i wrong.

10x in advance,

RAN

OSAL treats the event in a way of signaling to another task that some event is pending for it.

For example, you have a task named MY_TASK with MY_TASK_ID, and another HAL module

that is counting interrupts, upon hitting count_limit this HAL module uses OSAL events mechanism

to inform MY_TASK about this count_limit by calling osal_set_event(MY_TASK_ID, COUNT_LIMIT_HANDLE).

The COUNT_LIMIT_HANDLE is an event handler in the MY_TASK, thus setting the COUNT_LIMIT_HANDLE

with osal_set_event() will trigger MY_TASK and COUNT_LIMIT_HANDLE will be executed (if coded

properly of course). :)
 

Is it clears the fog a bit?

10x Igor!

I think that i missing something.

As far as i understood, the event mechanism in OSAL is 2  dimensions array of "tasksEvents" that the 1st dimension is tasksEvents[task_id] (uint8) and the 2nd is event_flag,

therefore, when osal_set_event() is set the relevant flag:

tasksEvents[task_id] |= event_flag;

and the OSAL (when getting time execution) by polling get to know the HAL layer raise an event for her and invoke to defined function "events = (tasksArr[idx])( idx, events );".

the event_flag (COUNT_LIMIT_HANDLE in your explanation) is just a flag for the ProcessEvent to know which event it should handle (one of the 16 optional- uint16 the 2nd dimension).

correct me if i wrong plz.

so, after that short introduction,

which arguments should i give to osal_set_event() to sign that the HAL raise an event and i want "SimpleBLECentral_ProcessEvent" will treat the event (i m usent the Central sample as u can see).

10x in advance,
