Function Documentation

void NutThreadSwitch ( void  )

Switch to another thread.

Stop the current thread, saving its context. Then start the one with the highest priority, which is ready to run.

Application programs typically do not call this function.

Note:

HANDLE NutThreadCreate ( uint8_t name,
void(*)(void *)  fn,
void *  arg,
size_t  stackSize 
)

If the current thread's priority is lower or equal than the default priority (64), then the current thread is stopped and the new one is started.

Parameters:
nameString containing the symbolic name of the new thread, up to 8 characters long.
fnThe thread's entry point, typically created by the THREAD macro.
argArgument pointer passed to the new thread.
stackSizeNumber of bytes of the stack space allocated for the new thread.
Returns:
