Learning Objectives

• Use FreeRTOS APIs to create a task.

Concepts

Task Functions

FreeRTOS Tasks are implemented as C functions which must have the following prototype:

void TaskFunction( void *pvParameters );

Each task normally runs forever within an infinite loop, and does not exit. The structure of a typical task is shown below:

void TaskFunction( void *pvParameters )
{
    /* A task is normally implemented as an infinite loop. */
    for( ;; )
    {
        /* The code to implement the task functionality goes here. */
    }
}

Steps

1. Complete all the TODOs in the source/tutorials/tutorial_2/source/tutorial_2.c file.

2. Execute the following commands from the root of the repository to build:

   rm -rf build
   mkdir build
   cd build
   cmake -B . -S ../source/ -DTUTORIAL=2
   make

3. Execute the following command to run the binary:

   ./freertos_example
