Hi again,
So I need to implement mutual exclusion and I quickly found out the EWL c/c++ mutexes are not implemented for the Starcores, and so I turned to the spinlock of the SmartDSP OS; however, it appears the spinlock is only for mutual exclusion of a shared resources amongst cores:
"Spinlocks should be used only when data is shared between cores." - from the SmartDSP_OS_User_Guide.pdf, 14 June 2011
I need mutual exclusion of a resource shared between tasks and ISRs on the same core in this case. So far I haven't seen anything to do this. I'm thinking I will make my own mutex using the bmtset intrinsic or the bmtset.w assembly instruction.
Comments/suggestions? Am I missing something/making it harder than it needs to be?
Thanks,
zpyatt
Oh yeah the setup is: CodeWarrior 10.1.5, MSC8144, SmartDSP OS, using C++
