IDLE task in rcX on netX 50
Hi,
Is IDLE task supported in rcX on netX 50?
Using TSK_PRIO_IDLE (as seen in rX_Priorities.h) returns an error code 5 ( RX_KNL_PRIORITY_ERROR ).
Docu in rcX_Api says:
"ePrio - The value ranges from TSK_PRIO_1 to TSK_PRIO_55.TSK_PRIO_1 represents the highest priority. "
Does it mean that TSK_PRIO_IDLE is reserved for something else?
OK, this is clear.
Another similar question - I have created a software timer of rcX ( rX_TimCreateTimer() ). What is the task context where my function is called?
Is it the SYSTIMER task priority(TSK_PRIO_DEF_RX_TIMER)?
CONST RX_ENTERKERNEL_PARAM_T trXEnterKernelParam=
{
/* CPU clock rate */
NETX_FREQUENCY_100MHZ,
/* Timer interrupt task priority */
{TSK_PRIO_DEF_RX_TIMER, 350},
I have a relatively long function that is called on SW timer. So I want to ensure that some other, higher priority, tasks will be able to interrupt this long activity.
I think I can achieve this by lowering the priority of "Timer interrupt task priority" (if my routine is called inside it).

Hi,
if this is the element "tTimerTaskConfig.eTimerIrqTaskPriority" of the structure, then this is the priority of the task which is handled by the timer.

Hi,
user priorities are from 8 till 63.
TSK_PRIO_IDLE is used by the system.
