Define CMSIS RTOS2 APIs for your Platform#

This section explains how to define a CMSIS-RTOS2 API function using FreeRTOS library as an example. This guide focuses to explain the CMSIS-RTOS2 API implementation only for those CMSIS-RTOS2 API functions that are used in the SDK v3.x.

For EFR32xG24 (hereafter referred to as EFR32) project, the CMSIS-FreeRTOS implementation is present in cmsis_os2.c file present at path: <application project>/gecko_sdk/util/third_party/freertos/cmsis/Source

For STM32 project, the CMSIS-FreeRTOS implementation is present in cmsis_os2.c file present at path: \<STM32 project\>/Middlewares/FreeRTOS

Note: For getting the description, parameters and return values of each function, refer here.

FreeRTOS Preprocessor Macros#

Define the following preprocessor macros if using FreeRTOS.

  • SL_CATALOG_FREERTOS_KERNEL_PRESENT

  • configNUM_USER_THREAD_LOCAL_STORAGE_POINTERS=0

  • configNUM_SDK_THREAD_LOCAL_STORAGE_POINTERS=2

  • configUSE_POSIX_ERRNO =1

In the FreeRTOS.h file present at \<STM32 project\>/Middlewares/Third_Party/FreeRTOS/Source/include, define the following macro as shown below:

#define configNUM_THREAD_LOCAL_STORAGE_POINTERS (configNUM_USER_THREAD_LOCAL_STORAGE_POINTERS \
                                                 + configNUM_SDK_THREAD_LOCAL_STORAGE_POINTERS) 

Sample FreeRTOS API Implementations#

The following sections contain sample FreeRTOS implementations of CMSIS RTOS2 APIs.

The following functions are described in these sections. These are listed here in alphabetical order:

osDelay | osEventFlagsClear | osEventFlagsDelete | osEventFlagsNew | osEventFlagsSet | osEventFlagsWait | osKernelGetTickCount | osKernelInitialize | osKernelStart | osMutexAcquire | osMutexDelete | osMutexNew | osMutexRelease | osSemaphoreAcquire | osSemaphoreDelete | osSemaphoreNew | osSemaphoreRelease | osThreadNew
