// This may not be necessary for const variables.

// Must start every co-routine with a call to crSTART();
crSTART( xHandle );

// This co-routine just delays for a fixed period, then toggles
// an LED. Two co-routines are created using this function, so
// the uxIndex parameter is used to tell the co-routine which
// LED to flash and how int32_t to delay. This assumes xQueue has
// already been created.
vParTestToggleLED( cLedToFlash[ uxIndex ] );

// Must end every co-routine with a call to crEND();
crEND();
