vTaskDeleteWithCaps() function

A handle to the task to be deleted

INCLUDE_vTaskDelete must be defined as 1 for this function to be available. See the configuration section for more information. Remove a task from the RTOS real time kernel's management. The task being deleted will be removed from all ready, blocked, suspended and event lists. NOTE: The idle task is responsible for freeing the kernel allocated memory from tasks that have been deleted. It is therefore important that the idle task is not starved of microcontroller processing time if your application makes any calls to vTaskDelete (). Memory allocated by the task code is not automatically freed, and should be freed before the task is deleted. See the demo application file death.c for sample code that utilises vTaskDelete (). Example usage:

Create a new task and add it to the list of tasks that are ready to run. Internally, within the FreeRTOS implementation, tasks use two blocks of memory. The first block is used to hold the task's data structures. The second block is used by the task as its stack. If a task is created using xTaskCreate() then both blocks of memory are automatically dynamically allocated inside the xTaskCreate() function. (see https://www.FreeRTOS.org/a00111.html). If a task is created using xTaskCreateStatic() then the application writer must provide the required memory. xTaskCreateStatic() therefore allows a task to be created without using any dynamic memory allocation. See xTaskCreateStatic() for a version that does not use any dynamic memory allocation. xTaskCreate() can only be used to create a task that has unrestricted access to the entire microcontroller memory map. Systems that include MPU support can alternatively create an MPU constrained task using xTaskCreateRestricted(). Example usage:

Create a new task that is pinned to a particular core This function is similar to xTaskCreate(), but allows the creation of a pinned task. The task's pinned core is specified by the xCoreID argument. If xCoreID is set to tskNO_AFFINITY, then the task is unpinned and can run on any core.

INCLUDE_vTaskSuspend must be defined as 1 for this function to be available. See the configuration section for more information. Suspend any task. When suspended a task will never get any microcontroller processing time, no matter what its priority. Calls to vTaskSuspend are not accumulative - i.e. calling vTaskSuspend () twice on the same task still only requires one call to vTaskResume () to ready the suspended task. Example usage:

See https://www.FreeRTOS.org/RTOS-task-notifications.html for details. configUSE_TASK_NOTIFICATIONS must be undefined or defined as 1 for these functions to be available. Sends a direct to task notification to a task, with an optional value and action. Each task has a private array of "notification values" (or 'notifications'), each of which is a 32-bit unsigned integer (uint32_t). The constant configTASK_NOTIFICATION_ARRAY_ENTRIES sets the number of indexes in the array, and (for backward compatibility) defaults to 1 if left undefined. Prior to FreeRTOS V10.4.0 there was only one notification value per task. Events can be sent to a task using an intermediary object. Examples of such objects are queues, semaphores, mutexes and event groups. Task notifications are a method of sending an event directly to a task without the need for such an intermediary object. A notification sent to a task can optionally perform an action, such as update, overwrite or increment one of the task's notification values. In that way task notifications can be used to send data to a task, or be used as light weight and fast binary or counting semaphores. A task can use xTaskNotifyWaitIndexed() or ulTaskNotifyTakeIndexed() to [optionally] block to wait for a notification to be pending. The task does not consume any CPU time while it is in the Blocked state. A notification sent to a task will remain pending until it is cleared by the task calling xTaskNotifyWaitIndexed() or ulTaskNotifyTakeIndexed() (or their un-indexed equivalents). If the task was already in the Blocked state to wait for a notification when the notification arrives then the task will automatically be removed from the Blocked state (unblocked) and the notification cleared. **NOTE** Each notification within the array operates independently - a task can only block on one notification within the array at a time and will not be unblocked by a notification sent to any other array index. Backward compatibility information: Prior to FreeRTOS V10.4.0 each task had a single "notification value", and all task notification API functions operated on that value. Replacing the single notification value with an array of notification values necessitated a new set of API functions that could address specific notifications within the array. xTaskNotify() is the original API function, and remains backward compatible by always operating on the notification value at index 0 in the array. Calling xTaskNotify() is equivalent to calling xTaskNotifyIndexed() with the uxIndexToNotify parameter set to 0. eSetBits - The target notification value is bitwise ORed with ulValue. xTaskNotifyIndexed() always returns pdPASS in this case. eIncrement - The target notification value is incremented. ulValue is not used and xTaskNotifyIndexed() always returns pdPASS in this case. eSetValueWithOverwrite - The target notification value is set to the value of ulValue, even if the task being notified had not yet processed the previous notification at the same array index (the task already had a notification pending at that index). xTaskNotifyIndexed() always returns pdPASS in this case. eSetValueWithoutOverwrite - If the task being notified did not already have a notification pending at the same array index then the target notification value is set to ulValue and xTaskNotifyIndexed() will return pdPASS. If the task being notified already had a notification pending at the same array index then no action is performed and pdFAIL is returned. eNoAction - The task receives a notification at the specified array index without the notification value at that index being updated. ulValue is not used and xTaskNotifyIndexed() always returns pdPASS in this case. pulPreviousNotificationValue - Can be used to pass out the subject task's notification value before any bits are modified by the notify function. @cond !DOC_EXCLUDE_HEADER_SECTION

A version of xTaskNotifyGiveIndexed() that can be called from an interrupt service routine (ISR). See https://www.FreeRTOS.org/RTOS-task-notifications.html for more details. configUSE_TASK_NOTIFICATIONS must be undefined or defined as 1 for this macro to be available. Each task has a private array of "notification values" (or 'notifications'), each of which is a 32-bit unsigned integer (uint32_t).

A notification sent to a task can optionally perform an action, such as update, overwrite or increment one of the task's notification values. In that way task notifications can be used to send data to a task, or be used as light weight and fast binary or counting semaphores. vTaskNotifyGiveIndexedFromISR() is intended for use when task notifications are used as light weight and faster binary or counting semaphore equivalents. Actual FreeRTOS semaphores are given from an ISR using the xSemaphoreGiveFromISR() API function, the equivalent action that instead uses a task notification is vTaskNotifyGiveIndexedFromISR(). When task notifications are being used as a binary or counting semaphore equivalent then the task being notified should wait for the notification using the ulTaskNotifyTakeIndexed() API function rather than the xTaskNotifyWaitIndexed() API function. **NOTE** Each notification within the array operates independently - a task can only block on one notification within the array at a time and will not be unblocked by a notification sent to any other array index. Backward compatibility information: Prior to FreeRTOS V10.4.0 each task had a single "notification value", and all task notification API functions operated on that value.

Calling xTaskNotifyGiveFromISR() is equivalent to calling xTaskNotifyGiveIndexedFromISR() with the uxIndexToNotify parameter set to 0.

INCLUDE_uxTaskPriorityGet must be defined as 1 for this function to be available. See the configuration section for more information. Obtain the priority of any task. Example usage:

Utility function to check whether a yield (on either core) is required after unblocking (or changing the priority of) a particular task. - This function is the SMP replacement for checking if an unblocked task has a higher (or equal) priority than the current task. - It should be called before calling taskYIELD_IF_USING_PREEMPTION() or before setting xYieldRequired - If it is the other core that requires a yield, this function will internally trigger the other core to yield Note: In some special instances, a yield is triggered if the unblocked task has an equal priority (such as in xTaskResumeAll). Thus the xYieldEqualPriority parameter specifies whether to yield if the current task has equal priority. Scheduling Algorithm: This function will bias towards yielding the current core. - If the unblocked task has a higher (or equal) priority than the current core, the current core is yielded regardless of the current priority of the other core. - A core (current or other) will only yield if their schedulers are not suspended. Todo: This can be optimized (IDF-5772) Entry: - This function must be called in a critical section - A task must just have been unblocked, or its priority raised Exit: - Returns pdTRUE if the current core requires yielding - The other core will be triggered to yield if required

INCLUDE_vTaskSuspend must be defined as 1 for this function to be available. See the configuration section for more information. Resumes a suspended task. A task that has been suspended by one or more calls to vTaskSuspend () will be made available for running again by a single call to vTaskResume (). Example usage:

INCLUDE_uxTaskGetStackHighWaterMark must be set to 1 in FreeRTOSConfig.h for this function to be available. Returns the high water mark of the stack associated with xTask. That is, the minimum free stack space there has been (in words, so on a 32 bit machine a value of 1 means 4 bytes) since the task started. The smaller the returned number the closer the task has come to overflowing its stack. uxTaskGetStackHighWaterMark() and uxTaskGetStackHighWaterMark2() are the same except for their return type. Using configSTACK_DEPTH_TYPE allows the user to determine the return type. It gets around the problem of the value overflowing on 8-bit types without breaking backward compatibility for applications that expect an 8-bit return type.

INCLUDE_eTaskGetState must be defined as 1 for this function to be available. See the configuration section for more information. Obtain the state of any task. States are encoded by the eTaskState enumerated type.

See https://www.FreeRTOS.org/RTOS-task-notifications.html for details. configUSE_TASK_NOTIFICATIONS must be undefined or defined as 1 for these functions to be available. A version of xTaskNotifyIndexed() that can be used from an interrupt service routine (ISR).

In that way task notifications can be used to send data to a task, or be used as light weight and fast binary or counting semaphores. A task can use xTaskNotifyWaitIndexed() to [optionally] block to wait for a notification to be pending, or ulTaskNotifyTakeIndexed() to [optionally] block to wait for a notification value to have a non-zero value. The task does not consume any CPU time while it is in the Blocked state. A notification sent to a task will remain pending until it is cleared by the task calling xTaskNotifyWaitIndexed() or ulTaskNotifyTakeIndexed() (or their un-indexed equivalents). If the task was already in the Blocked state to wait for a notification when the notification arrives then the task will automatically be removed from the Blocked state (unblocked) and the notification cleared. **NOTE** Each notification within the array operates independently - a task can only block on one notification within the array at a time and will not be unblocked by a notification sent to any other array index.

Get the current core ID of a particular task Helper function to get the core ID of a particular task. If the task is pinned to a particular core, the core ID is returned. If the task is not pinned to a particular core, tskNO_AFFINITY is returned. If CONFIG_FREERTOS_UNICORE is enabled, this function simply returns 0. [refactor-todo] See if this needs to be deprecated (IDF-8145)(IDF-8164)

Utility function to check whether a task can currently be scheduled on one or more cores. This function is the SMP replacement for checking if `uxSchedulerSuspended == 0`. - If a task is pinned, check the scheduler suspension state on the task's pinned core. The task can be scheduled if the scheduler is not suspended on the pinned core. - If a task is unpinned, check the scheduler suspension state on both cores. The task can be scheduled if the scheduler is not suspended on either of the cores.

INCLUDE_vTaskPrioritySet must be defined as 1 for this function to be available. See the configuration section for more information. Set the priority of any task. A context switch will occur before the function returns if the priority being set is higher than the currently executing task. Example usage:

Creates a pinned task where its stack has specific memory capabilities This function is similar to xTaskCreatePinnedToCore(), except that it allows the memory allocated for the task's stack to have specific capabilities (e.g., MALLOC_CAP_SPIRAM). However, the specified capabilities will NOT apply to the task's TCB as a TCB must always be in internal RAM.

Set local storage pointer and deletion callback. Each task contains an array of pointers that is dimensioned by the configNUM_THREAD_LOCAL_STORAGE_POINTERS setting in FreeRTOSConfig.h. The kernel does not use the pointers itself, so the application writer can use the pointers for any purpose they wish. Local storage pointers set for a task can reference dynamically allocated resources. This function is similar to vTaskSetThreadLocalStoragePointer, but provides a way to release these resources when the task gets deleted. For each pointer, a callback function can be set. This function will be called when task is deleted, with the local storage pointer index and value as arguments.

Fill a TaskSnapshot_t structure for specified task. - This function is used by the panic handler to get the snapshot of a particular task.

See https://www.FreeRTOS.org/RTOS-task-notifications.html for details. configUSE_TASK_NOTIFICATIONS must be undefined or defined as 1 for these functions to be available. Each task has a private array of "notification values" (or 'notifications'), each of which is a 32-bit unsigned integer (uint32_t). The constant configTASK_NOTIFICATION_ARRAY_ENTRIES sets the number of indexes in the array, and (for backward compatibility) defaults to 1 if left undefined. Prior to FreeRTOS V10.4.0 there was only one notification value per task. If a notification is sent to an index within the array of notifications then the notification at that index is said to be 'pending' until it is read or explicitly cleared by the receiving task. xTaskNotifyStateClearIndexed() is the function that clears a pending notification without reading the notification value. The notification value at the same array index is not altered. Set xTask to NULL to clear the notification state of the calling task. Backward compatibility information: Prior to FreeRTOS V10.4.0 each task had a single "notification value", and all task notification API functions operated on that value. Replacing the single notification value with an array of notification values necessitated a new set of API functions that could address specific notifications within the array. xTaskNotifyStateClear() is the original API function, and remains backward compatible by always operating on the notification value at index 0 within the array. Calling xTaskNotifyStateClear() is equivalent to calling xTaskNotifyStateClearIndexed() with the uxIndexToNotify parameter set to 0.

Utility task that simply returns pdTRUE if the task referenced by xTask is currently in the Suspended state, or pdFALSE if the task referenced by xTask is in any other state.

configUSE_TRACE_FACILITY must be defined as 1 for this function to be available. See the configuration section for more information. Populates a TaskStatus_t structure with information about a task. Example usage:

Retrieve pointers to a statically created task's data structure buffer and stack buffer. These are the same buffers that are supplied at the time of creation.

The application stack overflow hook is called when a stack overflow is detected for a task. Details on stack overflow detection can be found here: https://www.FreeRTOS.org/Stacks-and-stack-overflow-checking.html

@endcond INCLUDE_xTaskAbortDelay must be defined as 1 in FreeRTOSConfig.h for this function to be available. A task will enter the Blocked state when it is waiting for an event. The event it is waiting for can be a temporal event (waiting for a time), such as when vTaskDelay() is called, or an event on an object, such as when xQueueReceive() or ulTaskNotifyTake() is called. If the handle of a task that is in the Blocked state is used in a call to xTaskAbortDelay() then the task will leave the Blocked state, and return from whichever function call placed the task into the Blocked state. There is no 'FromISR' version of this function as an interrupt would need to know which object a task was blocked on in order to know which actions to take. For example, if the task was blocked on a queue the interrupt handler would then need to know if the queue was locked.

A version of uxTaskPriorityGet() that can be used from an ISR.

INCLUDE_xTaskResumeFromISR must be defined as 1 for this function to be available. See the configuration section for more information. An implementation of vTaskResume() that can be called from within an ISR. A task that has been suspended by one or more calls to vTaskSuspend () will be made available for running again by a single call to xTaskResumeFromISR (). xTaskResumeFromISR() should not be used to synchronise a task with an interrupt if there is a chance that the interrupt could arrive prior to the task being suspended - as this can lead to interrupts being missed. Use of a semaphore as a synchronisation mechanism would avoid this eventuality.

See https://www.FreeRTOS.org/RTOS-task-notifications.html for details. configUSE_TASK_NOTIFICATIONS must be undefined or defined as 1 for these functions to be available. Each task has a private array of "notification values" (or 'notifications'), each of which is a 32-bit unsigned integer (uint32_t). The constant configTASK_NOTIFICATION_ARRAY_ENTRIES sets the number of indexes in the array, and (for backward compatibility) defaults to 1 if left undefined. Prior to FreeRTOS V10.4.0 there was only one notification value per task. ulTaskNotifyValueClearIndexed() clears the bits specified by the ulBitsToClear bit mask in the notification value at array index uxIndexToClear of the task referenced by xTask. Backward compatibility information: Prior to FreeRTOS V10.4.0 each task had a single "notification value", and all task notification API functions operated on that value. Replacing the single notification value with an array of notification values necessitated a new set of API functions that could address specific notifications within the array. ulTaskNotifyValueClear() is the original API function, and remains backward compatible by always operating on the notification value at index 0 within the array. Calling ulTaskNotifyValueClear() is equivalent to calling ulTaskNotifyValueClearIndexed() with the uxIndexToClear parameter set to 0.

INCLUDE_uxTaskGetStackHighWaterMark2 must be set to 1 in FreeRTOSConfig.h for this function to be available. Returns the high water mark of the stack associated with xTask. That is, the minimum free stack space there has been (in words, so on a 32 bit machine a value of 1 means 4 bytes) since the task started. The smaller the returned number the closer the task has come to overflowing its stack. uxTaskGetStackHighWaterMark() and uxTaskGetStackHighWaterMark2() are the same except for their return type. Using configSTACK_DEPTH_TYPE allows the user to determine the return type. It gets around the problem of the value overflowing on 8-bit types without breaking backward compatibility for applications that expect an 8-bit return type.

Each task contains an array of pointers that is dimensioned by the configNUM_THREAD_LOCAL_STORAGE_POINTERS setting in FreeRTOSConfig.h. The kernel does not use the pointers itself, so the application writer can use the pointers for any purpose they wish. The following two functions are used to set and query a pointer respectively.

Returns the start of the stack associated with xTask. Returns the lowest stack memory address, regardless of whether the stack grows up or down. [refactor-todo] Change return type to StackType_t (IDF-8158)

Creates a task where its stack has specific memory capabilities This function is similar to xTaskCreate(), except that it allows the memory allocated for the task's stack to have specific capabilities (e.g., MALLOC_CAP_SPIRAM). However, the specified capabilities will NOT apply to the task's TCB as a TCB must always be in internal RAM.

@cond

@endcond Memory regions are assigned to a restricted task when the task is created by a call to xTaskCreateRestricted(). These regions can be redefined using vTaskAllocateMPURegions(). Example usage:

Calls the hook function associated with xTask. Passing xTask as NULL has the effect of calling the Running tasks (the calling task) hook function. pvParameter is passed to the hook function for the task to interpret as it wants. The return value is the value returned by the task hook function registered by the user.
