The <b>CMSIS-RTOS API Version 2 (CMSIS-RTOS2)</b> is a generic RTOS interface for ARM&reg; Cortex&reg;-M processor-based
devices. It provides a standardized API for software components that require RTOS functionality and gives therefore serious
benefits to the users and the software industry:
 - CMSIS-RTOS2 provides basic features that are required in many applications.
 - The unified feature set of the CMSIS-RTOS2 reduces learning efforts and simplifies sharing of software components.
 - Middleware components that use the CMSIS-RTOS2 are RTOS agnostic and are easier to adapt.
 - Standard project templates of the CMSIS-RTOS2 may be shipped with freely available CMSIS-RTOS2 implementations.

\note The CMSIS-RTOS API Version 2 defines a minimum feature set. Implementations with extended features may be provided by
      the RTOS vendors.

The CMSIS-RTOS2 manages the resources of the microcontroller system and implements the concept of parallel threads that run
concurrently.

Applications frequently require several concurrent activities. CMSIS-RTOS2 can manage multiple concurrent activities at the
time when they are needed. Each activity gets a separate thread which executes a specific task and this simplifies the
overall program structure. The CMSIS-RTOS2 system is scalable and additional threads can be added easily at a later time.
Threads have a priority allowing faster execution of time-critical parts of a user application.

The CMSIS-RTOS2 offers services needed in many real-time applications, for example, periodical activation of timer functions, 
memory management, and message exchange between threads with time limits.

The CMSIS-RTOS2 addresses the following new requirements:
 - Dynamic object creation no longer requires static memory, static memory buffers are now optional.
 - Support for ARMv8-M architecture that provides a secure and non-secure state of code execution.
 - Provisions for message passing in multi-core systems.
 - Full support of C++ run-time environments.
 - C interface which is binary compatible across
   <a href="http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.subset.swdev.abi/index.html">ABI compatible compilers</a>.

As a consequence of these requirements the CMSIS-RTOS2 has the following fundamental modifications:
 - The functions osXxxxNew replace osXxxxCreate functions; osXxxxNew and osXxxxDelete create and destroy objects.
 - The C function \c main is no longer started as a thread (this was an optional feature in CMSIS-RTOS v1).
 - Functions that return osEvent have been replaced.

CMSIS-RTOS2 provides an translation layer for the <a class="el" href="../../RTOS/html/index.html">CMSIS-RTOS API v1</a>. It
is possible to intermix CMSIS-RTOS API Version 2 and CMSIS-RTOS API Version 1 within the same application. Over time, you may
migrate to the new API as explained in \ref os2Migration.

CMSIS-RTOS2 is not POSIX compliant, but has provisions to enable a C++11/C++14 interface.

The following sections provide further details about CMSIS-RTOS2 and the RTX reference implementation.
 - \subpage rtos_revisionHistory documents changes made in each version for CMSIS-RTOS API v2 and RTX v5.

/**
\page genRTOS2IF Generic RTOS Interface

CMSIS-RTOS2 is a generic API that is agnostic of the underlying RTOS kernel. Application programmers call CMSIS-RTOS2 API
functions in the user code to ensure maximum portability from one RTOS to another. Middleware using CMSIS-RTOS2 API takes
advantages of this approach by avoiding unnecessary porting efforts.

\image html "API_Structure.png" "CMSIS-RTOS API Structure"

A typical CMSIS-RTOS2 API implementation interfaces to an existing real-time kernel. The CMSIS-RTOS2 API provides the
following attributes and functionalities:
 - Function names, identifiers, and parameters are descriptive and easy to understand. The functions are powerful and
   flexible which reduces the number of functions exposed to the user. 
 - \ref CMSIS_RTOS_ThreadMgmt allows you to define, create, and control threads.
 - Interrupt Service Routines (ISR) can \ref CMSIS_RTOS_ISR_Calls "call some CMSIS-RTOS functions". When a CMSIS-RTOS
   function cannot be called from an ISR context, it rejects the invocation and returns an error code.
 - Three different event types support communication between multiple threads and/or ISR:
   - \ref CMSIS_RTOS_ThreadFlagsMgmt "Thread Flags": may be used to indicate specific conditions to a thread.
   - \ref CMSIS_RTOS_EventFlags "Event Flags": may be used to indicate events to a thread or ISR.
   - \ref CMSIS_RTOS_Message "Messages": can be sent to a thread or an ISR. Messages are buffered in a queue.
 - \ref CMSIS_RTOS_MutexMgmt and \ref CMSIS_RTOS_SemaphoreMgmt are incorporated.
 - CPU time can be scheduled with the following functionalities:
   - A \a timeout parameter is incorporated in many CMSIS-RTOS functions to avoid system lockup. When a timeout is specified,
     the system waits until a resource is available or an event occurs. While waiting, other threads are scheduled.
   - The \ref osDelay and \ref osDelayUntil functions put a thread into the \b WAITING state for a specified period of time.
   - The \ref osThreadYield provides co-operative thread switching and passes execution to another thread of the same
     priority.
 - \ref CMSIS_RTOS_TimerMgmt  functions are used to trigger the execution of functions.

The CMSIS-RTOS2 API is designed to optionally incorporate multi-processor systems and/or access protection via the Cortex-M
Memory Protection Unit (MPU).

In some RTOS implementations threads may execute on different processors, thus \b message queues may reside in shared memory
resources.

The CMSIS-RTOS2 API encourages the software industry to evolve existing RTOS implementations. RTOS implementations can be
different and optimized in various aspects towards the Cortex-M processors. Optional features may be for example
 - Support of the Cortex-M Memory Protection Unit (MPU).
 - Support of multi-processor systems.
 - Support of a DMA controller.
 - Deterministic context switching.
 - Round-robin context switching.
 - Deadlock avoidance, for example with priority inversion.
 - Zero interrupt latency by using ARMv7-M instructions LDREX and STREX.
 
\section usingOS2 Using a CMSIS-RTOS2 Implementation

A CMSIS-RTOS2 implementation is typically provided as a library. To add the RTOS functionality to an existing CMSIS-based
application, the RTOS library (and typically one or more configuration files) needs to be added. There is a single new header
file %cmsis_os2.h available. This is the only header file required for a completely portable application. In such a case,
user provided memory for control blocks, objects data and thread stack cannot be used. Alternatively, you can include an
implementation specific header file (for example rtx_os.h) which provides definitions also for resource allocation (such as
size of control blocks, required memory for object data and thread stack). This is optional and implies that the application
code is not completely portable.

\image html "CMSIS_RTOS_Files.png" "CMSIS-RTOS File Structure"

Once the files are added to a project, the user can start working with the CMSIS-RTOS functions.  A code example is provided
below:
 
<b>Code Example</b>
\code
/*----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * CMSIS-RTOS 'main' function template
 *---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
 
#include "RTE_Components.h"
#include  CMSIS_device_header
#include "cmsis_os2.h"
 
/*----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * Application main thread

void app_main (void *argument) {
 
  // ...
  for (;;) {}
}
 
int main (void) {
 
  // System Initialization
  SystemCoreClockUpdate();
#ifdef RTE_Compiler_EventRecorder
  // Initialize and start Event Recorder
  EventRecorderInitialize(EventRecordError, 1U);
#endif
  // ...
 
  osKernelInitialize();                 // Initialize CMSIS-RTOS
  osThreadNew(app_main, NULL, NULL);    // Create application main thread
  osKernelStart();                      // Start thread execution
  for (;;) {}
}
\endcode


\section cmsis_os2_h cmsis_os2.h header file

The file \b cmsis_os2.h is a standard header file that interfaces to every CMSIS-RTOS2 compliant real-time operating
systems (RTOS). Each implementation is provided the same \b cmsis_os2.h which defines the interface to the \ref rtos_api2.

Using the \b cmsis_os2.h along with dynamic object allocation allows to create source code or libraries that require no
modifications when using on a different CMSIS-RTOS2 implementation.

/**
\page theory_of_operation Theory of Operation

Many aspects of the kernel are configurable and the configuration options are mentioned where applicable.

\section SystemStartup System Startup

Since main is no longer a thread RTX5 does not interfere with the system startup until main is reached.
Once the execution reaches \c main() there is a recommended order to initialize the hardware and start the kernel. This is
also reflected in the user code template file "CMSIS-RTOS2 'main' function" supplied with the RTX5 component.

Your application's \c main() should implement at least the following in the given order:
-# Initialization and configuration of hardware including peripherals, memory, pins, clocks and the interrupt system.
-# Update the system core clock using the respective
   <a href=../../Core/html/group__system__init__gr.html>CMSIS-Core (Cortex-M) function</a>.
-# Initialize the CMSIS-RTOS kernel using \ref osKernelInitialize.
-# Optionally, create a new thread \c app_main, which is used as a main thread using \ref osThreadNew. Alternatively, threads
   can be created in \c main() directly.
-# Start the RTOS scheduler using \ref osKernelStart. This function does not return in case of successful execution. Any
   application code after \b osKernelStart will not be executed unless \b osKernelStart fails.            

\note Interrupts (like SVC for example) used by the kernel are initialized in \ref osKernelInitialize. In case priorities and
groupings in the NVIC are altered by the application after the above sequence it might be necessary to call
\ref osKernelInitialize again.

\section Scheduler 

RTX5 implements a low-latency preemtive scheduler. Major parts of RTX5 are executed in handler mode such as
  - \ref SysTick_Handler used for time-based scheduling.
  - \ref SVC_Handler used for lock-based scheduling.
  - \ref PendSV_Handler used for interrupt-based scheduling.

In order to be low-latency with respect to ISR execution those system exceptions are configured to use the
lowest priority groups available. The priorities are configured such that no preemption happens between them. Thus
no interrupt critical sections (i.e. interrupt locks) are needed to protect the scheduler.

\image html scheduling.png "Thread scheduling and interrupt execution"

The scheduler combines priority and round-robin based context switches. The example depicted in the image above contains
four threads (1, 2, 3, and 4). Threads 1 and 2 share the same priority, thread 3 has a higher one and thread 4 the highest
(\ref osThreadAttr_t::priority). As long as threads 3 and 4 are blocked the scheduler switches between thread 1 and 2 on
a time-slice basis (round-robin). The time-slice for round-robin scheduling can be configured, see Round-Robin Timeout in \ref systemConfig.

Thread 2 unblocks thread 3 by an arbitrary RTOS-call (executed in SVC handler mode) at time index 2. The scheduler switches to
thread 3 immidiately because thread 3 has the highest priority. Thread 4 is still blocked.

At time index 4 an interrupt (ISR) occurs and preempts the SysTick_Handler. RTX does not add any latency to the interrupt
service execution. The ISR routine uses an RTOS-call that unblocks thread 4. Instead of switching to thread 4 immediately
the PendSV flag is set to defer the context switching. The PendSV_Handler is executed right after the SysTick_Handler returns
and the defered context switch to thread 4 is carried out. As soon as highest priority thread 4 blocks again by using
a blocking RTOS-call execution is switched back to thread 3 immidiately during time index 5.

At time index 5 thread 3 uses a blocking RTOS-call as well. Thus the scheduler switches back to thread 2 for time index 6.
At time index 7 the scheduler uses the round-robin mechanism to switch to thread 1 and so on.

\section MemoryAllocation Memory Allocation 

RTX5 objects (thread, mutex, semaphore, timer, message queue, thread and event flags, as well as memory pool) require
dedicated RAM memory. Objects can be created using os<i>Object</i>New() calls and deleted using os<i>Object</i>Delete()
calls. The related object memory needs to be available during the lifetime of the object.

RTX5 offers three different memory allocation methods for objects:
  - \ref GlobalMemoryPool uses a single global memory pool for all objects. It is easy to configure, but may have 
    the disadvantage for memory fragmentation when objects with different sizes are created and destroyed.
  - \ref ObjectMemoryPool uses a fixed-size memory pool for each object type. The method is time deterministic
     and avoids memory fragmentation.
  - \ref StaticObjectMemory reserves memory during compile time and completely avoids that a system can be out of memory.
    This is typically a required for some safety critical systems.

It possible to intermix all the memory allocation methods in the same application.

\subsection GlobalMemoryPool Global Memory Pool

The global memory pool allocates all objects from a memory area. This method of memory allocation is the default
configuration setting of RTX5.

\image html MemAllocGlob.png "Global Memory Pool for all objects"

When the memory pool does not provide sufficient memory, the creation of the object fails and the related
os<i>Object</i>New() function returns \token{NULL}.

Enabled in \ref systemConfig.

\subsection ObjectMemoryPool Object-specific Memory Pools

Object-specific memory pools avoids memory fragmentation with a dedicated fixed-size memory management for each object type.
This type of memory pools are fully time deterministic, which means that object creation and destruction takes always the
same fixed amount of time. As a fixed-size memory pool is specific to an object type, the handling of out-of-memory
situations is simplified.

\image html MemAllocSpec.png "One memory pool per object type"

Object-specific memory pools are selectively enabled for each object type, e.g: mutex or thread using the RTX configuration
file:
 - Enabled in \ref threadConfig for thread objects.
 - Enabled in \ref timerConfig for timer objects.
 - Enabled in \ref eventFlagsConfig for event objects.
 - Enabled in \ref mutexConfig for mutex objects.
 - Enabled in \ref semaphoreConfig for semaphore.
 - Enabled in \ref memPoolConfig for memory pools.
 - Enabled in \ref msgQueueConfig for message objects.

When the memory pool does not provide sufficient memory, the creation of the object fails and the related
os<i>Object</i>New() function returns \token{NULL}.

\subsection StaticObjectMemory Static Object Memory
In contrast to the dynamic memory allocations, the static memory allocation requires compile-time allocation of object memory. 

\image html MemAllocStat.png "Statically allocated memory for all objects"

The following code example shows how to create an OS object using static memory.

<b> Code Example:</b> 
\code{.c}
/*----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * CMSIS-RTOS 'main' function template
 *---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/

#include "RTE_Components.h"
#include  CMSIS_device_header
#include "cmsis_os2.h"
 
//include rtx_os.h for types of RTX objects
#include "rtx_os.h"
 
//The thread function instanced in this example
void worker(void *arg)
{
  while(1) 
  {
    //work
    osDelay(10000);
  }  
}
 
// Define objects that are statically allocated for worker thread 1
osRtxThread_t worker_thread_tcb_1;
 
// Reserve two areas for the stacks of worker thread 1
// uint64_t makes sure the memory alignment is 8
uint64_t worker_thread_stk_1[64];
 
// Define the attributes which are used for thread creation
// Optional const saves RAM memory and includes the values in periodic ROM tests 
const osThreadAttr_t worker_attr_1 = {
  "wrk1",
  osThreadJoinable,
  &worker_thread_tcb_1,
  sizeof(worker_thread_tcb_1),
  &worker_thread_stk_1[0],
  sizeof(worker_thread_stk_1),
  osPriorityAboveNormal,
  0
};
 
// Define ID object for thread
osThreadId_t th1;
 
/*----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * Application main thread
 *---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
void app_main (void *argument) {
  uint32_t param = NULL;
 
  // Create an instance of the worker thread with static resources (TCB and stack)
  th1 = osThreadNew(worker, &param, &worker_attr_1);
 
  for (;;) {}
}
 
int main (void) {
  // System Initialization
  SystemCoreClockUpdate();
  // ...

  osKernelInitialize();                 // Initialize CMSIS-RTOS
  osThreadNew(app_main, NULL, NULL);    // Create application main thread
  osKernelStart();                      // Start thread execution
  for (;;) {}
}
\endcode


\section ThreadStack Thread Stack Management

For Cortex-M processors without floating point unit the thread context requires 64 bytes on the local stack.

\note For Cortex-M4/M7 with FP the thread context requires 200 bytes on the local stack. For these devices the default stack
space should be increased to a minimum of 300 bytes.

Each thread is provided with a separate stack that holds the thread context and stack space for automatic variables and
return addresses for function call nesting. The stack sizes of RTX threads are flexibly configurable as explained in the
section \ref threadConfig. RTX offers a configurable checking for stack overflows and stack utilization. 


\section lowPower Low-Power Operation

The system thread \b osRtxIdleThread can be use to switch the system into a low-power mode. The easiest form to enter a
low-power mode is the execution of the \c __WFE function that puts the processor into a sleep mode where it waits for an
event.

<b>Code Example:</b>
\code
#include "RTE_Components.h"
#include CMSIS_device_header            /* Device definitions                 */
 
void osRtxIdleThread (void) {
  /* The idle demon is a system thread, running when no other thread is       */
  /* ready to run.                                                            */
 
  for (;;) {
    __WFE();                            /* Enter sleep mode                   */
  }
}
\endcode

\note

By default, RTX5 uses the Cortex-M
<a href="http://www.keil.com/support/man/docs/gsac/GSAC_SYSTICKtimer.htm" target="_blank">SysTick</a> timer to generate
periodic interrupts for the RTX kernel timer tick. CMSIS-RTOS provides \ref CMSIS_RTOS_TimerMgmt functions and several
CMSIS-RTOS functions have a \a timeout parameter. This periodic RTX kernel timer tick interrupt is used to derive the
required time interval. RTX5 also provides configuration options for an \ref kernelTimer_alt "alternative timer" and
\ref TickLess "tick-less operation". 

To handle timeout and time delays for threads, the RTX5 thread management is controlled by the RTX kernel timer tick
interrupt. The thread context contains all CPU registers (R0 - R12), the return address (LR), the program counter (PC), and
the processor status register (xPSR). For the Cortex-M4/M7 FPU the floating point status and registers (S0 - S32, FPSCR) are
also part of the thread context.

When a thread switch occurs:
 - the thread context of the current running thread is stored on the local stack of this thread.
 - the stack pointer is switched to the next running thread.
 - the thread context of this next running thread is restored and this thread starts to run.

 
\subsection kernelTimer_alt Using an Alternative Timer as RTX Kernel Timer

The following functions need to be adapted to enable the usage of an alternative kernel timer:
 - \ref osRtxSysTimerSetup sets up the timer (including IRQ priority) and returns its IRQ number. Note that it is no longer
   required to start the time in this function as a separate function is available (see next).
 - \ref osRtxSysTimerEnable starts the timer.
 - \ref osRtxSysTimerDisable stops the timer.
 - \ref osRtxSysTimerAckIRQ acknowledges the IRQ.
 - \ref osRtxSysTimerGetCount returns the current tick count as a 32-bit value. Note that this function can be called when
   the timer is disabled. It should still provide valid tick count values.
 - \ref osRtxSysTimerGetFreq returns the timer tick frequency. Note that this function can be called when the
   timer is disabled. It should still provide valid tick frequency values.

It is important to configure the IRQ priority (it should match PendSV). This can be achieved using the ExtTick_SetupIRQ()
function from core_cm.h. Enabling/disabling the IRQ is handled by the system.

There is no need to provide an IRQ handler. Only make sure that existing SysTick_Handler is mapped to the tick IRQ.

\b Code \b Example:

The following code example shows an implementation for a Cortex-A core that does not come with a built-in SysTick timer.

\code
#include "RTE_Components.h"
#include CMSIS_device_header
#include "rtx_os.h"
 
int32_t osRtxSysTimerSetup (void) {
  uint32_t load;
 
  /* Private Timer runs with the system frequency */
  load = osRtxInfo.kernel.sys_freq / osRtxConfig.tick_freq;
 
  PTIM_SetLoadValue (load - 1U);
 
  /* Determine number of implemented priority bits */
  GIC_SetPriority (PrivTimer_IRQn, 0xFFU);
 
  /* Set lowest priority -1 */
  GIC_SetPriority (PrivTimer_IRQn, GIC_GetPriority(PrivTimer_IRQn)-1);
 
  /* Enable IRQ */
  GIC_EnableIRQ (PrivTimer_IRQn);
 
  return (PrivTimer_IRQn);
}
 
void osRtxSysTimerEnable (void) {
  /* Start the Private Timer */
  uint32_t ctrl;
 
  ctrl  = PTIM_GetControl();
  /* Set bits: IRQ enable, Auto Reload, Timer enable */
  ctrl |= 7U;
 
  PTIM_SetControl (ctrl);
}
 
void osRtxSysTimerDisable (void) {
  /* Stop the Private Timer */
  uint32_t ctrl;
 
  ctrl  = PTIM_GetControl();
  /* Clear bit: Timer enable */
  ctrl &= ~1;
 
  PTIM_SetControl (ctrl);
}
 
void osRtxSysTimerAckIRQ (void) {
  PTIM_ClearEventFlag();
}
 
uint32_t osRtxSysTimerGetCount (void) {
  uint32_t tick;
  uint32_t val;
 
  tick = (uint32_t)osRtxInfo.kernel.tick;
  val  = PTIM_GetLoadValue();
  val -= PTIM_GetCurrentValue();
 
  /* if (PTIM_GetEventFlag() != 0) */
  if ((PTIM->ISR & 1) != 0) {
    val  = PTIM_GetLoadValue();
    val -= PTIM_GetCurrentValue();
    tick++;
  }
  val += tick * (PTIM_GetLoadValue() + 1U);
 
  return val;
}
 
uint32_t osRtxSysTimerGetFreq (void) {
  /* Private Timer runs with the system frequency */
  return osRtxInfo.kernel.sys_freq;
}
\endcode

\subsection TickLess Tick-less Low-Power Operation

RTX5 provides extension for tick-less operation which is useful for applications that use extensively low-power modes where
the SysTick timer is also disabled. To provide a time-tick in such power-saving modes, a wake-up timer is used to
derive timer intervals. The CMSIS-RTOS2 functions \ref osKernelSuspend and \ref osKernelResume control the tick-less
operation.

Using this functions allows the RTX5 thread scheduler to stop the periodic kernel tick interrupt. When all active threads
are suspended, the system enters power-down and calculates how long it can stay in this power-down mode. In the power-down
mode the processor and peripherals can be switched off. Only a wake-up timer must remain powered, because this timer is
responsible to wake-up the system after the power-down period expires.

The tick-less operation is controlled from the \b osRtxIdleThread thread. The wake-up timeout value is set before the system
enters the power-down mode. The function \ref osKernelSuspend calculates the wake-up timeout measured in RTX Timer Ticks;
this value is used to setup the wake-up timer that runs during the power-down mode of the system.

Once the system resumes operation (either by a wake-up time out or other interrupts) the RTX5 thread scheduler is started
with the function \ref osKernelResume. The parameter \a sleep_time specifies the time (in RTX Timer Ticks) that the system
was in power-down mode.

\section rtx_os_h RTX5 Header File

Every implementation of the CMSIS-RTOS2 API can bring its own additional features. RTX5 adds a couple of
\ref rtx5_specific "functions" for the idle more, for error notifications, and special system timer functions. It also is
using macros for control block and memory sizes.

If you require some of the RTX specific functions in your application code, \#include the header file \b %rtx_os.h:

\include rtx_os.h


\section CMSIS_RTOS_TimeOutValue Timeout Value   

Timeout values are an argument to several \b osXxx functions to allow time for resolving a request. A timeout value of \b 0
means that the RTOS does not wait and the function returns instantly, even when no resource is available. A timeout value of
\ref osWaitForever means that the RTOS waits infinitely until a resource becomes available. Or one forces the thread to resume
using \ref osThreadResume which is discouraged.
 
The timeout value specifies the number of timer ticks until the time delay elapses. The value is an upper bound and 
depends on the actual time elapsed since the last timer tick. 

Examples:
  - timeout value \b 0 : the system does not wait, even when no resource is available the RTOS function returns instantly. 
  - timeout value \b 1 : the system waits until the next timer tick occurs; depending on the previous timer tick, it may be a
    very short wait time.
  - timeout value \b 2 : actual wait time is between 1 and 2 timer ticks.
  - timeout value \ref osWaitForever : system waits infinite until a resource becomes available. 
  
\image html TimerValues.png "Example of timeout using osDelay()"


\section CMSIS_RTOS_ISR_Calls Calls from Interrupt Service Routines 

The following CMSIS-RTOS2 functions can be called from threads and Interrupt Service Routines (ISR):
  - \ref osKernelGetSysTimerCount, \ref osKernelGetSysTimerFreq
  - \ref osThreadFlagsSet
  - \ref osEventFlagsSet, \ref osEventFlagsClear, \ref osEventFlagsGet, \ref osEventFlagsWait
  - \ref osSemaphoreAcquire, \ref osSemaphoreRelease, \ref osSemaphoreGetCount
  - \ref osMemoryPoolAlloc, \ref osMemoryPoolFree, \ref osMemoryPoolGetCapacity, \ref osMemoryPoolGetBlockSize,
    \ref osMemoryPoolGetCount, \ref osMemoryPoolGetSpace
  - \ref osMessageQueuePut, \ref osMessageQueueGet, \ref osMessageQueueGetCapacity, \ref osMessageQueueGetMsgSize,
    \ref osMessageQueueGetCount, \ref osMessageQueueGetSpace

Functions that cannot be called from an ISR are verifying the interrupt status and return the status code \b osErrorISR, in
case they are called from an ISR context. In some implementations, this condition might be caught using the HARD_FAULT
vector.

\subsection systemConfig_glob_mem Global dynamic memory
Refer to \ref GlobalMemoryPool.


\subsection systemConfig_rr Round-Robin Thread Switching

RTX5 may be configured to use round-robin multitasking thread switching. Round-robin allows quasi-parallel execution of
several threads of the \a same priority. Threads are not really executed concurrently, but are scheduled where the available
CPU time is divided into time slices and RTX5 assigns a time slice to each thread. Because the time slice is typically short
(only a few milliseconds), it appears as though threads execute simultaneously.

Round-robin thread switching functions as follows:
- the tick is preloaded with the timeout value when a thread switch occurs
- the tick is decremented (if not already zero) each system tick if the same thread is still executing
- when the tick reaches 0 it indicates that a timeout has occurred. If there is another thread ready with the \a same
  priority, then the system switches to that thread and the tick is preloaded with timeout again.

In other words, threads execute for the duration of their time slice (unless a thread's time slice is given up). Then, RTX
switches to the next thread that is in \b READY state and has the same priority. If no other thread with the same priority is
ready to run, the current running thread resumes it execution.

\note When switching to higher priority threads, the round-robin timeout value is reset.

Round-Robin multitasking is controlled with the <b>\#define OS_ROBIN_ENABLE</b>. The time slice period is configured (in RTX
timer ticks) with the <b>\#define OS_ROBIN_TIMEOUT</b>.


\subsection systemConfig_isr_fifo ISR FIFO Queue
The RTX functions (\ref CMSIS_RTOS_ISR_Calls), when called from and interrupt handler, store the request type and optional
parameter to the ISR FIFO queue buffer to be processed later, after the interrupt handler exits.

The scheduler is activated immediately after the IRQ handler has finished its execution to process the requests stored to the
FIFO queue buffer. The required size of this buffer depends on the number of functions that are called within the interrupt
handler. An insufficient queue size will be caught by \b osRtxErrorNotify with error code \b osRtxErrorISRQueueOverflow.

\subsection threadConfig_countstack Configuration of Thread Count and Stack Space

The RTX5 kernel uses a separate stack space for each thread and provides two methods for defining the stack requirements:
 - <b>Static allocation</b>: when \ref osThreadAttr_t::stack_mem and \ref osThreadAttr_t::stack_size specify a memory area
   which is used for the thread stack. \b Attention: The stack memory provided must be 64-bit aligned, i.e. by using uint64_t for declaration.
 - <b>Dynamic allocation</b>: when \ref osThreadAttr_t is NULL or \ref osThreadAttr_t::stack_mem is NULL, the system
   allocates the stack memory from:
     - Object-specific Memory Pool (default Stack size) when "Object specific Memory allocation" is enabled and "Number of
       user Threads with default Stack size" is not \token{0} and \ref osThreadAttr_t::stack_size is \token{0} (or
       \ref osThreadAttr_t is NULL).
     - Object-specific Memory Pool (user-provided Stack size) when "Object specific Memory allocation" is enabled and "Total
       Stack size for user..."  is not \token{0} and \ref osThreadAttr_t::stack_size is not \token{0}.
     - Global Memory Pool when "Object specific Memory allocation" is disabled or (\ref osThreadAttr_t::stack_size is not
       \token{0} and "Total Stack size for user..." is \token{0}) or (\ref osThreadAttr_t::stack_size is \token{0} and
       "Number of user Threads with default Stack size" is \token{0}).

\ref osThreadAttr_t is a parameter of the function \ref osThreadNew.

\note
Before the RTX kernel is started by the \ref osKernelStart() function, the main stack defined in startup_<i>device</i>.s is
used. The main stack is also used for:
 - user application calls to RTX functions in \b thread \b mode using SVC calls
 - interrupt/exception handlers.
 
\subsection threadConfig_ovfcheck Stack Overflow Checking
RTX5 implements a software stack overflow checking that traps stack overruns. Stack is used for return addresses and
automatic variables. Extensive usage or incorrect stack configuration may cause a stack overflow. Software stack overflow
checking is controlled with the define \c OS_STACK_CHECK.
 
If a stack overflow is detected, the function \b osRtxErrorNotify with error code \b osRtxErrorStackUnderflow is called. By
default, this function is implemented as an endless loop and will practically stop code execution.

\subsection threadConfig_watermark Stack Usage Watermark
RTX5 initializes thread stack with a watermark pattern (0xCC) when a thread is created. This allows the debugger to determine
the maximum stack usage for each thread. It is typically used during development but removed from the final application.
Stack usage watermark is controlled with the define \c OS_STACK_WATERMARK.
  
Enabling this option significantly increases the execution time of \ref osThreadNew (depends on thread stack size).
 
\subsection threadConfig_procmode Processor Mode for Thread Execution
RTX5 allows to execute threads in unprivileged or privileged processor mode. The processor mode is controlled with the
define \c OS_PRIVILEGE_MODE.
 
In \b unprivileged processor mode, the application software:
- has limited access to the MSR and MRS instructions, and cannot use the CPS instruction.
- cannot access the system timer, NVIC, or system control block.
- might have restricted access to memory or peripherals.

In \b privileged processor mode, the application software can use all the instructions and has access to all resources.

\section technicalData5_ControlBlockSizes Control Block Sizes

Keil RTX5 specific control block definitions (including sizes) as well as memory pool and message queue memory requirements
are defined in the RTX5 header file:

\code
/// Control Block sizes
#define osRtxThreadCbSize        sizeof(osRtxThread_t)
#define osRtxTimerCbSize         sizeof(osRtxTimer_t)
#define osRtxEventFlagsCbSize    sizeof(osRtxEventFlags_t)
#define osRtxMutexCbSize         sizeof(osRtxMutex_t)
#define osRtxSemaphoreCbSize     sizeof(osRtxSemaphore_t)
#define osRtxMemoryPoolCbSize    sizeof(osRtxMemoryPool_t)
#define osRtxMessageQueueCbSize  sizeof(osRtxMessageQueue_t)
 
/// Memory size in bytes for Memory Pool storage.
/// \param         block_count   maximum number of memory blocks in memory pool.
/// \param         block_size    memory block size in bytes.
#define osRtxMemoryPoolMemSize(block_count, block_size) \
  (4*(block_count)*(((block_size)+3)/4))
 
/// Memory size in bytes for Message Queue storage.
/// \param         msg_count     maximum number of messages in queue.
/// \param         msg_size      maximum message size in bytes.
#define osRtxMessageQueueMemSize(msg_count, msg_size) \
  (4*(msg_count)*(3+(((msg_size)+3)/4)))
\endcode

If you are using a \ref GlobalMemoryPool to allocate memory for the RTOS objects, you need to know the size that is required
for each object in case of errors. Currently, the control block sizes are as follows (subject to change without
notification):

Type          | Control block size in bytes |
--------------|:---------------------------:|
Thread        | 68                          |
Timer         | 32                          |
Event Flags   | 16                          |
Mutex         | 28                          |
Semaphore     | 16                          |
Memory Pool   | 36                          |
Message Queue | 52                          |

The size of the memory that is required for memory pool and message queue data storage can be determined from the macros
stated above.

\page rtosValidation RTOS Validation

ARM offers a <a class=el href="http://www.keil.com/pack" target="_blank">Software Pack</a> for the CMSIS-RTOS Validation.
The <b>ARM::CMSIS-RTOS_Validation</b> Pack contains the following:

 - Source code of a CMSIS-RTOS Validation Suite along with configuration file.
 - Documentation of the CMSIS-RTOS Validation Suite.
 - Example that shows the usage of the CMSIS-RTOS Validation Suite using simulation.

\note
Currently, a public version of the test suite is available only for CMSIS-RTOS v1 API.

The CMSIS-RTOS Validation Suite performs generic validation of various RTOS features. The test cases verify the 
functional behavior, test invalid parameters and call management functions from ISR.

The following CMSIS-RTOS features can be tested with the current release:
 - Thread : Create multiple threads, terminate, restart, yield, change priority 
 - Timer : Create periodic and one-shot timers
 - GenWait : Call generic wait functions (osDelay and osWait)
 - WaitFunc : Measure wait ticks (delay, mail, message, mutex, semaphore, signal)
 
Moreover the following inter-thread communication functions can be tested: 
 - Signal : Verify signal events
 - Memory Pool : Verify memory allocation
 - Message Queue : Exchange messages between threads
 - Mail Queue : Exchange data between threads
 - Mutex : Synchronize resource access 
 - Semaphore : Access shared resources 
 
The RTOS Validation output can be printed to a console, output via ITM printf, or output to a memory buffer.

\page functionOverview Function Overview

CMSIS-RTOS v2 provides multiple API interfaces:
  - \subpage rtos_api2 is the new C function API that supports dynamic object creation and ARMv8-M (ARM Cortex-M23 and
    Cortex-M33).
  - <a class="el" href="../../RTOS/html/functionOverview.html">CMSIS-RTOS C API v1</a> is a C function API that is backward
    compatible with CMSIS-RTOS v1.
  - \subpage rtos_apicpp is a C++ class function API.

It is possible to intermix the different API variants in the same application and even in the same C/C++ source module.
However, the functions of the <b>C API Version 1</b> may be deprecated in future versions of CMSIS-RTOS.

/** 
\addtogroup rtx5_specific RTX5 Specific API
\brief This section describes CMSIS-RTOS RTX5 specifics.
\details
The RTX5 kernel can be customized for different application requirements:
- If you are depending on the \ref lowPower "lowest power consumption" possible, you need to adapt the function
  \ref osRtxIdleThread to send the system to sleep mode as often as possible. In addition, use the
  \ref TickLess "tick-less low power" functions \ref osKernelSuspend and \ref osKernelResume to suspend the scheduler and to
  stop the SysTick timer.
- If you need to specify an \ref kernelTimer "alternate hardware timer" as the system tick timer, you need to implement the
  functions \ref osRtxSysTimerSetup, \ref osRtxSysTimerEnable, \ref osRtxSysTimerDisable, and optionally the function
  \ref osRtxSysTimerAckIRQ.
- If you try to find a \b runtime \b error, use the function \ref osRtxErrorNotify to debug the error.

RTX5 interfaces to the <a href="http://www.keil.com/pack/doc/compiler/EventRecorder/html/index.html" target="_blank"><b>Event Recorder</b></a> 
to provide event information which helps you to understand and analyze the operation. Refer to \ref rtx_evr for more
information.

\fn uint32_t osRtxErrorNotify (uint32_t code, void *object_id);
\details
Some system error conditions can be detected during runtime. If the RTX kernel detects a runtime error, it calls the runtime
error function \b osRtxErrorNotify for an object specified by parameter \a object_id.

The parameter \a code passes the actual error code to this function:
| Error Code                   | Description                                                                       |
|------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| osRtxErrorStackUnderflow     | Stack underflow detected for thread (thread_id=object_id)                         |
| osRtxErrorISRQueueOverflow   | ISR Queue overflow detected when inserting object (object_id)                     |
| osRtxErrorTimerQueueOverflow | User Timer Callback Queue overflow detected for timer (timer_id=object_id)        |
| osRtxErrorClibSpace          | Standard C/C++ library libspace not available: increase \c OS_THREAD_LIBSPACE_NUM |
| osRtxErrorClibMutex          | Standard C/C++ library mutex initialization failed                                |

The function \b osRtxErrorNotify must contain an infinite loop to prevent further program execution. You can use an emulator
to step over the infinite loop and trace into the code introducing a runtime error. For the overflow errors this means you
need to increase the size of the object causing an overflow.

\note Cannot be called from \ref CMSIS_RTOS_ISR_Calls "Interrupt Service Routines".

<b>Code Example</b>
\code
#include "rtx_os.h"
 
uint32_t osRtxErrorNotify (uint32_t code, void *object_id) {
  (void)object_id;
 
  switch (code) {
    case osRtxErrorStackUnderflow:
      // Stack underflow detected for thread (thread_id=object_id)
      break;
    case osRtxErrorISRQueueOverflow:
      // ISR Queue overflow detected when inserting object (object_id)
      break;
    case osRtxErrorTimerQueueOverflow:
      // User Timer Callback Queue overflow detected for timer (timer_id=object_id)
      break;
    case osRtxErrorClibSpace:
      // Standard C/C++ library libspace not available: increase OS_THREAD_LIBSPACE_NUM
      break;
    case osRtxErrorClibMutex:
      // Standard C/C++ library mutex initialization failed
      break;
    default:
      break;
  }
  for (;;) {}
//return 0U;
}

\fn void osRtxIdleThread (void *argument);
\details
The function \b osRtxIdleThread is executed by the RTX kernel, when no other threads are ready to run. By default, this
thread is an empty end-less loop that does nothing. It only waits until another task becomes ready to run. You may change the
code of the \b osRtxIdleThread function to put the CPU into a power-saving or idle mode.

The default stack size for this thread is defined in the file RTX_Config.h. Refer to \ref threadConfig.
