Event flag groups
Abstract
Event flags are a very simple method of intertask communication supported by Nucleus SE. They provide a low cost, but flexible, means of passing simple flagging messages between tasks with a little more sophistication than signals. In this chapter, the operation of event flags is outlined, with details of all the relevant application program interfaces. The implementation of event flags in Nucleus SE is also detailed.
