The writer then sleeps +for a specified delay in milliseconds. +The reader thread gets waits (if there is a timeout) until the orphan buffer +contains available data, becoming the new front buffer. The character is read +from the new front buffer and printed. The reader then sleeps for a specified +delay in milliseconds. +A simple command shell is activated on virtual serial port SD1 or SDU1. +Via command line it is possible to start, stop, set the delay, and set the +thread priority of the reader and writer threads. +The reader can also be assigned a wait timeout in milliseconds, with special +cases of "*" for infinite timeout, and "-" (or 0 ms) for none. + +** Build Procedure ** + +The demo has been tested by using the free GNU Tools ARM Embedded toolchain +and ChibiStudio. Just modify the TRGT line in the makefile in order to use +different GCC toolchains. |
