- Subject: [ECOS] Wake up a thread that is blocked on mbox_get()
Hi,
In my application several threads are blocked on get from mbox
They are also need to handle some periodic things.
I have external HW timer that supply the ticks for the periods
It issues interrupt and I want to wake up the blocked threads from the DSR
This has to be deterministic
How can I wake up the blocked threads to handle the ticks from the DSR?
I prefer not to use mbox_try_get() , it overloads my CPU
Thanks
Elad
