4 \addtogroup CMSIS_RTOS_ThreadFlagsMgmt Thread Flags
6 \brief Synchronize threads using flags.
8 Thread Flags are a more specialized version of the Event Flags. See \ref CMSIS_RTOS_EventFlags.
9 While Event Flags can be used to globally signal a number of threads, thread flags are only send to a single specific thread.
10 Every thread instance can receive thread flags without any additional allocation of a thread flags object.
12 \note Thread flag management functions cannot be called from \ref CMSIS_RTOS_ISR_Calls "Interrupt Service Routines", except
13 for \ref osThreadFlagsSet.
17 The following (incomplete) code excerpt sketches the usage principals for <b>Thread Flags</b>.
19 The behavior is the following:
20 - app_main starts executing
21 - statement A sets thread flags to 0x02 (flags = 0x02 – after set)
22 - app_main enters delay
23 - execution switches to threadX
24 - statement B waits for flag 0x01 and blocks since flag is not set
25 - execution switches to app_main
26 - statement C sets thread flags to 0x07
27 - threadX wakes-up and clears flag 0x01, thread flags = 0x06, return value set to 0x07 (before clear), note: all this happens during statement C
28 - statement C returns with flags = 0x06
29 - app_main enters delay
30 - execution switches to threadX
31 - statement B returns with flagsX = 0x07
34 #include "cmsis_os2.h"
40 void threadX (void *argument) {
44 flagsX = osThreadFlagsWait(0x0001U, osFlagsWaitAny, osWaitForever); /* B */
48 void app_main (void *argument) {
50 tid = osThreadNew(threadX, NULL, NULL);
52 flags = osThreadFlagsSet(tid, 0x0002U); /* A */
54 flags = osThreadFlagsSet(tid, 0x0005U); /* C */

65 /** \fn uint32_t osThreadFlagsSet (osThreadId_t thread_id, uint32_t flags )
66 The function \b osThreadFlagsSet sets the thread flags for a thread specified by parameter \em thread_id. The thread returns
67 the flags stored in the thread control block, or an error code if highest bit is set (refer to \ref flags_error_codes).
68 Refer to \b Usage \b Examples below to understand how the return value is computed.
70 The target thread waiting for a flag to be set will resume from \ref ThreadStates "BLOCKED" state.
72 Possible \ref flags_error_codes return values:
73 - \em osFlagsErrorUnknown: unspecified error.
74 - \em osFlagsErrorParameter: parameter \em thread_id is not a valid thread or \em flags has highest bit set.
75 - \em osFlagsErrorResource: the thread is in invalid state.
76 - \em osFlagsErrorSafetyClass: the calling thread safety class is lower than the safety class of the specified thread.
78 \note This function may be called from \ref CMSIS_RTOS_ISR_Calls "Interrupt Service Routines".

85 void signal_func (osThreadId_t tid) {
86 osThreadFlagsSet(tid_clock, 0x0100U); /* set signal to clock thread */
87 osDelay(500U); /* delay 500ms */
88 osThreadFlagsSet(tid_clock, 0x0100U); /* set signal to clock thread */

97 The following diagram assumes that in the control block of Thread1 the flag 1 is already set. Thread2 now sets flag 2 and
98 Thread1 returns the updated value immediately:
101 a [label="", textcolor="indigo", linecolor="indigo", arclinecolor="red"],
102 b [label="", textcolor="blue", linecolor="blue", arclinecolor="blue"];
104 a note a [label="Thread1", textbgcolour="#FFCCCF"],
105 b note b [label="Thread2", textbgcolour="#E0E0FF"];
107 a box a [label = "Flags == 1"];
108 a<-b [label = "osThreadFlagsSet(2)"];
109 a>>b [label = "return(3)"];
110 a->a [label = "while(1)"];
113 Depending on thread scheduling, the flag status can be modified before returning:
116 a [label="", textcolor="indigo", linecolor="indigo", arclinecolor="red"],
117 b [label="", textcolor="blue", linecolor="blue", arclinecolor="blue"];
119 a note a [label="Thread1", textbgcolour="#FFCCCF"],
120 b note b [label="Thread2", textbgcolour="#E0E0FF"];
122 b box b [label = "Flags == 0"];
123 b->b [label = "osThreadFlagsWait(1)"];
124 b box b [label = "thread state = blocked"];
125 a->b [label = "osThreadFlagsSet(1)"];
126 b box b [label = "Flags == 1"];
127 b box b [label = "thread state = ready"];
128 b box b [label = "Flags == 0*"];
129 --- [label = "If Thread2 priority > Thread1 priority, it gets scheduled immediately"];
130 b->b [label = "return(1)"];
131 b->b [label = "osThreadFlagsWait(1)"];
132 b box b [label = "thread state = blocked"];
133 --- [label = "endif"];
134 b->a [label = "return(0)"];
136 \note * In this case \ref osThreadFlagsWait auto-clears the flag.

140 /** \fn uint32_t osThreadFlagsClear (uint32_t flags)
142 The function \b osThreadFlagsClear clears the specified flags for the currently running thread. It returns the
143 flags before clearing, or an error code if highest bit is set (refer to \ref flags_error_codes).
145 Possible \ref flags_error_codes return values:
146 - \em osFlagsErrorUnknown: unspecified error, i.e. not called from a running threads context.
147 - \em osFlagsErrorParameter: parameter \em flags has highest bit set.
148 - \em osFlagsErrorISR: the function \b osThreadFlagsClear cannot be called from interrupt service routines.
150 \note This function \b cannot be called from \ref CMSIS_RTOS_ISR_Calls "Interrupt Service Routines".
153 /*=======0=========1=========2=========3=========4=========5=========6=========7=========8=========9=========0=========1====*/
154 /** \fn uint32_t osThreadFlagsGet (void)
156 The function \b osThreadFlagsGet returns the flags currently set for the currently running thread.
157 If called without a active and currently running thread \b osThreadFlagsGet return zero.
159 \note This function \b cannot be called from \ref CMSIS_RTOS_ISR_Calls "Interrupt Service Routines".
162 /*=======0=========1=========2=========3=========4=========5=========6=========7=========8=========9=========0=========1====*/
163 /** \fn uint32_t osThreadFlagsWait (uint32_t flags, uint32_t options, uint32_t timeout)
164 The function \b osThreadFlagsWait suspends the execution of the currently \ref ThreadStates "RUNNING" thread until any or all of the thread
165 flags specified with the parameter \a flags are set. When these thread flags are already set, the function returns instantly.
166 Otherwise the thread is put into the state \ref ThreadStates "BLOCKED".
168 The parameter \em options specifies the wait condition:
170 |--------------------|-------------------------------------------------------|
171 |\b osFlagsWaitAny | Wait for any flag (default). |
172 |\b osFlagsWaitAll | Wait for all flags. |
173 |\b osFlagsNoClear | Do not clear flags which have been specified to wait for. |
175 If \c osFlagsNoClear is set in the options \ref osThreadFlagsClear can be used to clear flags manually.
176 Otherwise \b osThreadFlagsWait automatically clears the flags waited for.
178 The parameter \ref CMSIS_RTOS_TimeOutValue "timeout" represents a number of timer ticks and is an upper bound. The
179 exact time delay depends on the actual time elapsed since the last timer tick.
181 The function returns the flags before clearing, or an error code if highest bit is set (refer to \ref flags_error_codes).
183 Possible \ref flags_error_codes return values:
184 - \em osFlagsErrorUnknown: unspecified error, i.e. not called from a running threads context.
185 - \em osFlagsErrorTimeout: awaited flags have not been set in the given time.
186 - \em osFlagsErrorResource: awaited flags have not been set when no \a timeout was specified.
187 - \em osFlagsErrorParameter: Parameter \em flags has highest bit set.
189 \note This function \b cannot be called from \ref CMSIS_RTOS_ISR_Calls "Interrupt Service Routines".
