This is what a question slide will look like. Please answer in the chat.
Also, questions to me start with ?

3. Agenda
Monday: C++ for Embedded Programming Tuesday: C to C++ Migration Strategy Wednesday: C++ and a Real Time Operating System Thursday: Case study #1 Friday: Case Study #2

4. [ 1 ]
Are you using an RTOS? If so, which one?

5. Today’s Topics Hiding the RTOS API Thread local data Paired operations
Using classes to encapsulate the API
Thread local data
Paired operations
Dynamic memory management

6. Today’s Topics Hiding the RTOS API Thread local data Paired operations
Using classes to encapsulate the API
Thread local data
Paired operations
Dynamic memory management

7. C++ and an RTOS Benefits: Wide range of possibilities
application programmers do not need detailed knowledge of RTOS
code portability
Wide range of possibilities

8. Task/Object Creation Encapsulate API using classes Task example:
have base class for generic task
constructor/destructor – task creation
empty virtual main()
application task defined by deriving class
instantiate to create tasks
note separation of definition from creation

9. Task/Object Creation
class task { unsigned taskID; public: virtual void main(); task() taskID = task_create(main); } ~task() task_delete(taskID); ... };
