This GOAL core module connects the specific operating system to other GOAL components via a generic abstraction layer. The task abstraction layer allows to create and shutdown a task, to configure the task priority and to handle the state machine for the task and requires indication functions containing the special operating system functions. The indication functions are described in chapter 5.12.2. Chapter: Platform API.
Task priorities are generalized to the following categories:

  • GOAL_TASK_PRIO_LOWEST

  • GOAL_TASK_PRIO_MEDIUM

  • GOAL_TASK_PRIO_HIGHEST

  • GOAL files:

    • goal_task.[h,c]

  • example:

    • …\goal\appl\00410_goal\task

Configuration


The following compiler-defines are available to configure the task abstraction layer:

  • GOAL_CONFIG_TASK:

    • 0: task abstraction layer is disabled (default)

    • 1: task abstraction layer is enabled

Platform API


GOAL requires the following indication function to connect a specific operating system to the task abstraction layer:
