8 \brief Synchronize threads using event flags.
10 The event flags management functions in CMSIS-RTOS allow you to control or wait for event flags. Each signal has up to 31
14 - can wait for event flags to be set (using \ref osEventFlagsWait). Using this function, it enters the
15 \ref ThreadStates "BLOCKED" state.
16 - may set one or more flags in any other given thread (using \ref osEventFlagsSet).
17 - may clear its own signals or the signals of other threads (using \ref osEventFlagsClear).
19 When a thread wakes up and resumes execution, its signal flags are automatically cleared (unless event flags option
20 \ref osFlagsNoClear is specified).
22 \note The functions \ref osEventFlagsSet, \ref osEventFlagsClear, \ref osEventFlagsGet, and \ref osEventFlagsWait can be
23 called from \ref CMSIS_RTOS_ISR_Calls "Interrupt Service Routines".
24 \note Refer to \ref eventFlagsConfig for RTX5 configuration options.
28 Here is a simple example that shows how two thread can communicate with each others using event flags:
30 \image html simple_signal.png "Simple event communication"
32 The following steps are required to use event flags:
33 -# In the thread that is supposed to send a event with id sig1_id, call the set function:
35 osDelay (1000); // wait for 1 second
36 osEventFlagsSet (sig1_id, 0x0001U); // set the flag 0x0001U for event sig1_id
38 -# In another thread (or threads) that are supposed to wait for the event, call the wait function:
40 osEventFlagsWait (sig1_id, 0x0001U, NULL, osWaitForever); // wait forever for any flag
43 The following complete example code can be directly used with the "CMSIS-RTOS2 main template" and is also provided as a
44 stand-alone template for RTX5:
48 void Thread_EventSender (void *argument); // thread function 1
49 void Thread_EventReceiver (void *argument); // thread function 2
50 osThreadId_t tid_Thread_EventSender; // thread id 1
51 osThreadId_t tid_Thread_EventReceiver; // thread id 2
53 osEventFlagsId_t evt_id; // message queue id
55 #define FLAGS_MSK1 0x00000001ul
59 tid_Thread_EventSender = osThreadNew (Thread_EventSender, NULL, NULL);
60 if (tid_Thread_EventSender == NULL) {
63 tid_Thread_EventReceiver = osThreadNew (Thread_EventReceiver, NULL, NULL);
64 if (tid_Thread_EventReceiver == NULL) {
70 void Thread_EventSender (void *argument)
72 evt_id = osEventFlagsNew(NULL);
74 osEventFlagsSet(evt_id, FLAGS_MSK1);
75 osDelay (1000); // suspend thread
79 void Thread_EventReceiver (void *argument)
83 flags = osEventFlagsWait (evt_id,FLAGS_MSK1,osFlagsWaitAny, osWaitForever);

102 \struct osEventFlagsAttr_t
104 Attributes to configure an event flag set.

113 \fn osEventFlagsId_t osEventFlagsNew (const osEventFlagsAttr_t *attr)
115 The function \b osEventFlagsNew creates a new event flags object that is used to send events across threads and returns the
116 pointer to the event flags object identifier or \token{NULL} in case of an error. It can be safely called before the RTOS is
117 started (call to \ref osKernelStart), but not before it is initialized (call to \ref osKernelInitialize).
119 The parameter \a attr sets the event flags attributes (refer to \ref osEventFlagsAttr_t). Default attributes will be used if
120 set to \token{NULL}, i.e. kernel memory allocation is used for the event control block.
122 \note Cannot be called from \ref CMSIS_RTOS_ISR_Calls "Interrupt Service Routines".

153 \fn uint32_t osEventFlagsSet (osEventFlagsId_t ef_id, uint32_t flags)
155 The function \b osEventFlagsSet sets the event flags specified by the parameter \a flags in an event flags object specified
156 by parameter \a ef_id. All threads waiting for the flag set will be notified to resume from \ref ThreadStates "BLOCKED" state.
157 The function returns the event flags after setting or an error code (highest bit is set, refer to \ref flags_error_codes).
159 Possible \ref flags_error_codes return values:
160 - \em osFlagsErrorUnknown: unspecified error.
161 - \em osFlagsErrorParameter: parameter \a ef_id does not identify a valid event flags object or \em flags has highest bit set.
162 - \em osFlagsErrorResource: the event flags object is in an invalid state.
164 \note This function may be called from \ref CMSIS_RTOS_ISR_Calls "Interrupt Service Routines".

195 \fn uint32_t osEventFlagsClear (osEventFlagsId_t ef_id, uint32_t flags)
197 The function \b osEventFlagsClear clears the event flags specified by the parameter \a flags in an event flags object
198 specified by parameter \a ef_id. The function returns the event flags before clearing or an error code (highest bit is set,
199 refer to \ref flags_error_codes).
201 Possible \ref flags_error_codes return values:
202 - \em osFlagsErrorUnknown: unspecified error.
203 - \em osFlagsErrorParameter: parameter \a ef_id does not identify a valid event flags object or \em flags has highest bit set.
204 - \em osFlagsErrorResource: the event flags object is in an invalid state.
206 \note This function may be called from \ref CMSIS_RTOS_ISR_Calls "Interrupt Service Routines".
209 /*=======0=========1=========2=========3=========4=========5=========6=========7=========8=========9=========0=========1====*/
211 \fn uint32_t osEventFlagsGet (osEventFlagsId_t ef_id)
213 The function \b osEventFlagsGet returns the event flags currently set in an event flags object specified by parameter
214 \a ef_id or \token{0} in case of an error.
216 \note This function may be called from \ref CMSIS_RTOS_ISR_Calls "Interrupt Service Routines".
219 /*=======0=========1=========2=========3=========4=========5=========6=========7=========8=========9=========0=========1====*/
221 \fn uint32_t osEventFlagsWait (osEventFlagsId_t ef_id, uint32_t flags, uint32_t options, uint32_t timeout)
223 The function \b osEventFlagsWait suspends the execution of the currently \ref ThreadStates "RUNNING" thread until any or all event flags
224 specified by the parameter \a flags in the event object specified by parameter \a ef_id are set. When these event flags are
225 already set, the function returns instantly. Otherwise, the thread is put into the state \ref ThreadStates "BLOCKED".
227 The \em options parameter specifies the wait condition:
229 |--------------------|-------------------------------------------------------|
230 |\b osFlagsWaitAny | Wait for any flag (default). |
231 |\b osFlagsWaitAll | Wait for all flags. |
232 |\b osFlagsNoClear | Do not clear flags which have been specified to wait for. |
234 If \c osFlagsNoClear is set in the options \ref osEventFlagsClear can be used to clear flags manually.
236 The parameter \a timeout specifies how long the system waits for event flags. While the system waits, the thread
237 that is calling this function is put into the \ref ThreadStates "BLOCKED" state. The parameter \ref CMSIS_RTOS_TimeOutValue
238 "timeout" can have the following values:
239 - when \a timeout is \token{0}, the function returns instantly (i.e. try semantics).
240 - when \a timeout is set to \b osWaitForever the function will wait for an infinite time until the event flags become
241 available (i.e. wait semantics).
242 - all other values specify a time in kernel ticks for a timeout (i.e. timed-wait semantics).
244 The function returns the event flags before clearing or an error code (highest bit is set, refer to \ref flags_error_codes).
246 Possible \ref flags_error_codes return values:
247 - \em osFlagsErrorUnknown: unspecified error.
248 - \em osFlagsErrorTimeout: awaited flags have not been set in the given time.
249 - \em osFlagsErrorResource: awaited flags have not been set when no \a timeout was specified.
250 - \em osFlagsErrorParameter: parameter \a ef_id does not identify a valid event flags object or \em flags has highest bit set.
252 \note May be called from \ref CMSIS_RTOS_ISR_Calls "Interrupt Service Routines" if the parameter \a timeout is set to
257 #include "cmsis_os2.h" // CMSIS RTOS header file
259 osEventFlagsId_t evt_id; // message queue id
261 void Thread_EventSender (void *argument)
263 evt_id = osEventFlagsNew(NULL);
265 osEventFlagsSet(evt_id, FLAGS_MSK1);
266 osThreadYield (); // suspend thread
270 void Thread_EventReceiver (void *argument)
275 flags = osEventFlagsWait (evt_id,FLAGS_MSK1,osFlagsWaitAny, osWaitForever);
282 /*=======0=========1=========2=========3=========4=========5=========6=========7=========8=========9=========0=========1====*/
284 \fn osStatus_t osEventFlagsDelete (osEventFlagsId_t ef_id)
286 The function \b osEventFlagsDelete deletes the event flags object specified by parameter \a ef_id and releases the internal
287 memory obtained for the event flags handling. After this call, the \em ef_id is no longer valid and cannot be used. This can
288 cause starvation of threads that are waiting for flags of this event object. The \em ef_id may be created again using the
289 function \ref osEventFlagsNew.
291 Possible \ref osStatus_t return values:
292 - \em osOK: the specified event flags object has been deleted.
293 - \em osErrorISR: \b osEventFlagsDelete cannot be called from interrupt service routines.
294 - \em osErrorParameter: parameter \a ef_id is \token{NULL} or invalid.
295 - \em osErrorResource: the event flags object is in an invalid state.
297 \note This function \b cannot be called from \ref CMSIS_RTOS_ISR_Calls "Interrupt Service Routines".
300 /*=======0=========1=========2=========3=========4=========5=========6=========7=========8=========9=========0=========1====*/
302 \fn const char *osEventFlagsGetName (osEventFlagsId_t ef_id)
304 The function \b osEventFlagsGetName returns the pointer to the name string of the event flags object identified by parameter
305 \a ef_id or \token{NULL} in case of an error.
307 \note This function \b cannot be called from \ref CMSIS_RTOS_ISR_Calls "Interrupt Service Routines".

312 char id; // id of the event flags object
314 id = osEventFlagsGetName ();
316 // Failed to get the event flags object name
324 // these struct members must stay outside the group to avoid double entries in documentation
326 \var osEventFlagsAttr_t::attr_bits
328 Reserved for future use (must be set to '0' for future compatibility).
330 \var osEventFlagsAttr_t::cb_mem
332 Pointer to a memory for the event flag control block object. Refer to \ref StaticObjectMemory for more information.
334 Default: \token{NULL} to use \ref CMSIS_RTOS_MemoryMgmt_Automatic for the event flag control block.
336 \var osEventFlagsAttr_t::cb_size
338 The size (in bytes) of memory block passed with \ref cb_mem. For RTX, the minimum value is defined with \ref osRtxEventFlagsCbSize (higher values are permitted).
340 Default: \token{0} as the default is no memory provided with \ref cb_mem.
342 \var osEventFlagsAttr_t::name
344 Pointer to a constant string with a human readable name (displayed during debugging) of the event flag object.
346 Default: \token{NULL} no name specified.
