The OS module in HAL provides an abstraction of most common operating system mechanisms. It is used mainly to allow HAL to use some OS functionality in so called OS INTEGRATION mode. The application may also use OS module for better OS-portability.

Interfaces.

At the moment, the OS module provides interfaces for:

Functions

void OS_Start (void)
 
void OS_Stop (void)
 
void OS_Sleep (OSTime time)
 
void OS_SleepUntil (OSTime time)
 
OSTime OS_GetSystemTime (void)
