DSP/BIOS Task - Create task that runs as separate DSP/BIOS thread

Library

Embedded Coder/ Embedded Targets/ Processors/ Texas Instruments C6000/ DSP/BIOS

Description

Creates a free-running task that runs in response to an ISR and as a separate DSP/BIOS thread. The spawned task runs the downstream function call subsystem in the model.

When the process runs this task, it uses a semaphore structure to enable the task and restrict access by it to other resources.

Dialog Box

Task name (32 characters or less)

Creates a name for the task. Enter a string of up to 32 characters, including numbers and letters as needed. You cannot use the standard C reserved characters, such as / and : in the name.

Task priority (1-15)

Sets the priority for the task, where 1 is the lowest priority and 15 the highest. Higher priority tasks can preempt tasks that have lower priority.

Stack size (bytes)

Specify the size of the stack the task uses. The value defaults to 4096 bytes. Each DSP/BIOS task has a separate stack. This parameter is not related to System stack size (MAUs) in the model Configuration Parameters.

Stack memory segment

Specify where the stack resides in memory.

Manage own timer

This block can manage its own time by reading time from the clock on the board. Selecting this option directs the task/block to maintain the time itself. When you select Manage own timer, you enable the Timer resolution option that reports the timer resolution the task uses.

Timer resolution (seconds)

When you direct the block to manage its own time, this option (available only when you select Manage own timer) reports the resolution of the clock. Timer resolution is a read-only parameter. You cannot change the value.
