Zephyr入门教程2线程

RTOS的必要性

当你开始增加你的嵌入式应用的功能时,在单一的主循环和一些中断例程中做所有的事情变得越来越难。通常情况下,下一级的复杂性是某种状态机,你的电子设备的输出会根据这个(内部)状态而改变。如果你需要能够同时操作多个复杂的输入和输出呢?一个很好的例子是TCP/IP连接,通过这个连接,你将接收某种数据,然后用来操作机械臂、控制电动机、发送信号……很快就会发现,需要新的抽象层次,以避免淹没在实现这种东西所需的复杂性中。这就是实时操作系统发挥作用的地方。

Zephyr与其他实时操作系统不同?

  • Zephyr是由Linux基金会支持的。
  • 通过学习Zephyr,你将自动获得对Linux内核的体验。两者在实现方式上表现出一些重叠,例如: Kconfig和设备树是Zephyr从Linux中借用的概念。
  • Zephyr很灵活。
  • Zephyr支持各种不同的开发板/SoCs。

实时操作系统是如何工作的?

内核负责为每个特定的任务调度CPU时间,使它们看起来是同时进行的。

每个线程(或任务)在执行时都会使用寄存器和内存。这些处理器寄存器和堆栈(内存)的全部内容都是该特定线程的上下文。一旦RTOS决定切换线程并运行其他东西,它将需要首先将上下文存储起来,然后加载接下来运行的线程的上下文。这个过程被称为上下文切换。

除了线程之外,你还会使用诸如队列、互斥和信号等原语来进行线程间通信。然后,每个RTOS都为不同的协议提供不同程度的支持,如TCP/IP、蓝牙、LoRaWan……这使你的生活更容易,因为现在你不需要深入研究这些协议。你会得到一系列的API调用,这能提高开发速度。

什么是线程?

线程是独立的实例,负责执行一些任务。

一些关键的概念:

  • 堆栈区(Stack area):线程堆栈的内存区域。其大小可以根据线程处理的需要来调整。
/* size of stack area used by each thread */
#define STACKSIZE 1024
  • 线程控制块(Thread control block):存储线程元数据,是k_thread类型的实例。
K_THREAD_STACK_DEFINE(threadA_stack_area, STACKSIZE);
static struct k_thread threadA_data;
  • 入口点函数(Entry point function):线程启动时被调用。最多有3个参数值可以传递给这个函数。
void threadA(void *dummy1, void *dummy2, void *dummy3)
{
ARG_UNUSED(dummy1);
ARG_UNUSED(dummy2);
ARG_UNUSED(dummy3);

ARG_UNUSED来表示这3个参数在我们的线程函数中没有使用。

  • 调度策略(Scheduling policy):指示内核的调度器如何分配CPU时间给线程。
  • 执行模式Execution mode:可以是监督者(supervisor)模式或用户(user)模式。默认情况下,线程在监督者模式下运行,允许访问特权CPU指令、整个内存地址空间和外围设备。用户模式的线程权限要少一些。

Zephyr如何选择要运行的线程?

“Thread is ready”(就绪) = 有资格被选为下一个运行线程。

以下因素可以使线程不就绪:

  • 线程还没有被启动
  • 等待内核对象完成一个操作(例如,线程正在占用不可用的信号(semaphore))。
  • 等待超时的发生
  • 被暂停
  • 终止

如何在Zephyr中定义线程?

通过定义它的堆栈区域和线程控制块,然后调用k_thread_create()来生成的。

栈区必须使用K_THREAD_STACK_DEFINE或K_KERNEL_STACK_DEFINE来定义,以确保它在内存中被正确设置。

线程发起函数返回其线程ID,可以用来引用该线程。

#define MY_STACK_SIZE 500
#define MY_PRIORITY 5

extern void my_entry_point(void *, void *, void *);

K_THREAD_STACK_DEFINE(my_stack_area, MY_STACK_SIZE);
struct k_thread my_thread_data;

k_tid_t my_tid = k_thread_create(&my_thread_data, my_stack_area,
K_THREAD_STACK_SIZEOF(my_stack_area),
my_entry_point,
NULL, NULL, NULL,
MY_PRIORITY, 0, K_NO_WAIT);

为了定义线程,你需要初始化参数:

k_tid_t k_thread_create(struct k_thread *new_thread, k_thread_stack_t *stack, size_t stack_size, k_thread_entry_t entry, void *p1, void *p2, void *p3, int prio, uint32_t options, k_timeout_t delay)

参数:

  • new_thread – 指向未初始化的k_thread结构的指针
  • stack – 指向堆栈空间的指针。
  • stack_size – 堆栈大小,字节数。
  • entry – 线程入口函数。
  • p1 – 第1个入口参数。
  • p2 – 第2个入口参数。
  • p3 – 第3个入口参数。
  • prio – 线程优先级。
  • options – 线程选项。
  • delay – 调度延迟,或K_NO_WAIT(无延迟)。

返回:

  • 新线程的ID。

另外,可以通过调用K_THREAD_DEFINE在编译时声明线程。请注意,该宏自动定义了堆栈区、控制块和线程ID等变量。

下面的代码与上面的代码段有相同的效果。

#define MY_STACK_SIZE 500
#define MY_PRIORITY 5

extern void my_entry_point(void *, void *, void *);

K_THREAD_DEFINE(my_tid, MY_STACK_SIZE,
my_entry_point, NULL, NULL, NULL,
MY_PRIORITY, 0, 0);

  • k_thread_join() 睡眠,直到另一线程退出。

比如说:thread_b负责设置硬件接口,线程_a负责处理这个接口的数据。只要线程_b没有退出,线程_a就不能启动,所以在这种情况下我们会使用k_thread_join(thread_b, timeout)。
