[REQ] Simple avr task manager

[metal]

I am looking for a simple AVR task manager/scheduler (avr-gcc) that can schedule tasks, I want to configure how often the task is called and give it a certain priority, no more no less, any suggestions are welcome.

thanks

Hi, you could try something like this. You can set the Timer to fire an interrupt at 2msec for example and you know that the fourth vector will be executed every 8msec, the third every 6msec and so on.

Code:

volatile uc vector_cntr;

#pragma vector = TIMER0_OVF0_vect
__interrupt void TIM0_OVF(void)
{

  if(++vector_cntr == MAX_VECTOR)
    vector_cntr = 1;

  switch (vector_cntr)
  {
    case 1:
    {
      button_read();
    }break;

    case 2:
    {
      dec2bin();
    }break;

    case 3:
    {
      update_display();
    }break;

    case 4:
    {
      update_relay();
    }break;

    default:
      {}
  }
}

I think it will be better if the switch-case block being put on the main loop.

Have a look at femtoos

femtoos might be overkill , maybe this one ?

Hi Metal, if you want multitasking operation but in very simply mode, you can use interrupt vector and generate software interrupts , in a timer you can implement a tick_clock and a state machine for tasks control (ex. External interrupts without external signals). Also you can use a kernel from a RTOS (or just a simplified  version for it).

but if you have just 2-3 tasks you can use very easy software interrupts to manage this tasks

a few years ago, I read the "AVR Scheduler" which link post in this thread by mega32.
It is a basic task manager, but it is very usefull for me, I recommand to read it to all of us.

Is FreeRTOS too complex?
