Adding OSA to MQX example

randyhermes — Fri, 31 Jul 2015 21:22:50 GMT

I started a new project by making a copy of the MQX example C:\Freescale\KSDK_1.2.0\rtos\mqx\mqx\examples\hello\build\kds\hello_twrk21f120m.

Now I would like to add OSA support so I can use OSA instead of using MQX calls directly.

Can anyone provide some guidance on doing this?

Thanks Randy

Hi Sol,

Thank you for the doc. Unfortunately it does not discuss adding OSA support to a MQX project.

But I believe that I have figured it out.

add the preprossessor definition FSL_RTOS_MQX

#include <fsl_os_abstraction.h>

add calls to OSA_Init() and OSA_Start() to Main().

But I won't be using too many of the OSA features. Most of them use the light weight versions of MQX items and don't protect against priority inversion.

This make OSA much less useful than it could be.

Thanks,

Randy
