Skip list is a "random" data structure that in high possibilities it
would get O(log(N)) time complexity in inserting while the old list get
O(N). Forthermore, when set RT_TIMER_SKIP_LIST_LEVEL to 1, it will just
the same as the old double linked list, both in time and space
complexity.
Benchmarks shows that when RT_TIMER_SKIP_LIST_LEVEL is 3, the average
time of random insertion of new timer is about 2 times faster than the
old timer when there are 100 timers and 3 times faster when there are
200 timers.
However, it restores the deprecated funcion rt_system_timer_init. BSPs
must invoke it upon system startup.
In thread context means: 1) the scheduler has been started; 2) not in
interrupt context. It is more stronger than RT_DEBUG_NOT_IN_INTERRUPT.
With this commit, you will catch the error on situations like taking
mutex before scheduling instead of crashing on NULL pointer reference.
vsnprintf is a common string function that could be used in many places.
Using both vsnprintf in libc and vsnprintf in the RTT could make a
bigger image. Moreover, if newlib is not enabled when compiling with
GCC, referencing vsnprintf will lead to link error:
.../arm-none-eabi/lib/armv7-ar/thumb/softfp/libc.a(lib_a-sbrkr.o):
In function `_sbrk_r':
sbrkr.c:(.text._sbrk_r+0xc): undefined reference to `_sbrk'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Using rt_vsnprintf could avoid such problem.
Portal is a device that connect devices. Currently, you can only connect
pipes in portal. Pipes are unidirectional. But with portal, you can
construct a bidirectional device with two pipes.
This is a simple work around to the current device stack design. A
ref_count could let different modules to open/close the same device
independently without interfere others in some degree.
But there is still some data shared between the modules, like flag,
open_flag and user_data. Moreover, it won't yield an error if A open a
device, and B read from it before open it in B. Maybe alloc a new handle
in rt_device_open will be the ultimate solution. But that is much bigger
change and we may leave it to future development.
We currently only support building with CCS and SCons is not using.
bsp/rm48x50/HALCoGen/HALCoGen.{hcg,dil} is the HALCoGen project file.
You may need to regenerate the source file as you like, providing that:
1, IRQ is in Dispatch Mode and the table entry is IRQ_Handler. The
channel 5 in enabled and connected to IRQ.
2, RTI driver is enabled and compare3 source is selected to counter1
and the compare3 will generate tick in the period of 10ms. This
value is coresponding with RT_TICK_PER_SECOND in rtconfig.h.
In CCS, you need to create a new CCS project and create link folders
pointing at bsp/rm48x50, libcpu/arm/rm48x50 and src/, include/. Remember
to add the include path to the Build Properties.
