title: Lab22: RTOS
toc: no
...

預期目標
-------
* 在 QEMU 模擬的 STM32 環境中，嘗試執行 `FreeRTOS<http://www.freertos.org/>`_ 並且學習相關的操作
  - 熟悉 FreeRTOS 的內部運作機制

* 學習 memory mangement
  - 實作 malloc 和驗證其功能
  - 搭配 `Week #5</embedded/2013-w5>`_ 進度，學習 heap, stack 的規劃
  - defragmentation

FreeRTOS
---------------
* `The Architecture of Open Source Applications: FreeRTOS<http://www.aosabook.org/en/freertos.html>`_
  - `簡體中文翻譯<http://www.ituring.com.cn/article/4063>`_

FreeRTOS: Memory management
-------------------------------
- `Memory Management<http://www.freertos.org/a00111.html>`_
-  The RTOS kernel allocates RAM each time a task, queue, mutex, software timer or semaphore is created. The standard C library malloc() and free() functions can sometimes be used for this purpose, but ...
    + they are not always available on embedded systems,
    + they take up valuable code space,
    + they are not thread safe, and
    + they are not deterministic (the amount of time taken to execute the function will differ from call to call)

hack-malloc
-------------------
* 
* ``git clone git@github.com:embedded2013/hack-malloc.git`` # 或 ``git clone git://github.com:embedded2013/hack-malloc.git`
* ``cd hack-malloc && make``
* ``./tryit`` # Ctrl-C 停止輸出
* 參考畫面輸出：

.. code-block:: prettyprint

    tryit.c 68: try to allocate 1648 bytes
    tryit.c 70: malloc returned 0x61595c
    allocate a block, size 1648
    tryit.c 68: try to allocate 1582 bytes
    tryit.c 70: malloc returned 0x615fe8
    allocate a block, size 1582
    tryit.c 68: try to allocate 1037 bytes
    tryit.c 70: malloc returned (nil)
    free a block, size 1648
    tryit.c 68: try to allocate 1815 bytes
    tryit.c 70: malloc returned (nil)
    free a block, size 1582
