PlatformMutex
PlatformMutex class hierarchy
You can use the PlatformMutex class to synchronize the execution of threads.
The Mbed OS drivers use the PlatformMutex class instead of Mutex. This enables the use of drivers when the Mbed OS is compiled without the RTOS. For examples, please see AnalogIn, BusOut, Serial, SPI and I2C.
Note: For the standard use of RTOS mutexes, please see Mutex.
