The C Kernel application program Examples

PC/MSDOS command prompt Life example:

• Moving lifeforms on your DOS desktop ! Each lifeform is a task, that is created , lives and dies after a certain time. The program runs best in DOS maximized mode (ALT+ENTER). Press <F1> for a short help window and summary of key commands.

• Life.exe. Get the full project example in the download section.

Simple Main program example:

/****************************************************************************/
void main (void)
/****************************************************************************/
{
/**** Initialize the C Kernel ****/

CK_Init ();

/**** Create the tasks to be used ****/

CK_CreateTask (runLedTask, 20, RunLedTaskStack, 200);
CK_CreateTask (outputTask, 100, OutputTaskStack, 200);

/**** Create semaphore which will be signaled by a timer ****/

Output_SM = CK_CreateSema (0, PRIO_Q);
Output_TM = CK_CreateTimer ();
CK_StartTimer (Output_TM, MS_TO_KERNELCOUNT (1000), Output_SM);

/**** Initialize Resource Reporter Task ****/

ReportInit ();

/**** Start the C Kernel; start scheduler and tasks ****/

CK_Run ();

/**** Never to return here ****/
}

Task functions used in Main program example:

/****************************************************************************/
static void runLedTask (void)
/****************************************************************************/
{
bool runLed;

/**** Initialize task data first ****/

runLed = FALSE;
/**** Enter task main forever loop ****/

forever
{
/**** Toggle run led flag ****/

runLed = !runLed;
/**** Using flag set the run led output state ****/
if (runLed)
RUN_LED = OUTPUT_ON;
else
RUN_LED = OUTPUT_OFF;

/**** Go to SLEEP state for 0.5 seconds ****/

CK_Sleep (MS_TO_KERNELCOUNT (500));
}
}

/****************************************************************************/
static void outputTask (void)
/****************************************************************************/
{
forever
{
/**** Wait for the output semaphore to be signaled; done by timer ****/

CK_Wait (Output_SM);
/**** Perform the required output action ****/

OUTPUT1 = !OUTPUT1;
}
}
