SYNOPSIS
PxError_t PxTaskSignalEvents_Hnd (PxTask_t TaskId, PxEvents_t events);
ARGUMENTS






TaskId




Task to send the events to


















events




Events to send

















RETURN VALUES






    

  • 

    PXROS error code
    

    • 







ERROR CODES















PXERR_GLOBAL_ILLEGAL_CORE




the requested task is not on the same core








PXERR_TASK_ILLTASK




TaskId is not a valid task object









DESCRIPTION










PxTaskSignalEvents_Hnd signals the events specified in events to TaskId. There they are saved until handled by task.














If TaskId waits for any of the events (with a PxAwaitEvents call or a call with the _EvWait suffix), the task is readied and the service returns. If some of the task’s aborting events occur (see PxExpectAbort) and task’s abort mechanism is enabled, the PxExpectAbort call returns prematurely. If the events are signaled to a task on an other core, PXROS will allocate an object for intercore communication to send this request to the other core for execution.














PxTaskSignalEvents_Hnd is the handler service. The handler service can not send events to tasks on other cores because it can not allocate an object for the request intercore communication.






















IMPLEMENTATION GUIDELINES
















Before call






    

  • 

    The parameter TaskId must be a valid task object.
    

    • 



















After call






    

  • 

    The function returns PXERR_NOERROR if the event could be signaled to the task. Any other return value describes an error, which has to be interpreted. (C)
    

    • 



















Best Practice






    

  • 

    This function should be called from handlers only. (V)

PxError_t Err = PxTaskSignalEvents_Hnd(TaskId, MY_EVENT);

if (Err != PXERR_NOERROR) {
    // Report error
}
