RTOS adapter driver properties

RTOS adapter driver typically needs some configuration properties to implement RTOS functionalities on specific RTOS. Configuration properties of RTOS adapter driver are shown in a group in RTOS Adapter Component (user visible). There are no standard RTOS adapter properties (because it depends on possibilities of specific RTOS), but the following is a typical list of property types used:

• Overriding standard RTOS functions by user-defined implementations. The standard RTOS functions are used.

  For example, if there is a standard RTOS function for allocation of system memory, this function can be replaced by user-defined function (with same prototype).

• Providing design-time configurations to RTOS.

  For example, some features of RTOS can be configured by C #define-s. RTOS adapter is able to configure such features. Such properties are simply propagated into the generated code that configures RTOS.

• Optimization choices. If some functionality is implemented in more ways, the configuration property can help to choose which implementation is the best from user perspective.
• Selecting which RTOS resources should be used for LDD components. You are allowed to choose a resource to be used by LDD layer implementation by selecting a configuration property.
