Detailed Description

The EventFlags class is used to control event flags or wait for event flags other threads control.

Note: EventFlags support 31 flags. The MSB flag is ignored. It is used to return an error code (osFlagsError).; Memory considerations: The EventFlags control structures will be created on the current thread's stack, both for the Mbed OS and underlying RTOS objects (static or dynamic RTOS memory pools are not being used).

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

EventFlags ( )

Create and initialize an EventFlags object.

Note: You cannot call this function from ISR context.

EventFlags ( const char * name )

Create and initialize an EventFlags object.

Parameters

name	name to be used for this EventFlags. It has to stay allocated for the lifetime of the thread.

Note: You cannot call this function from ISR context.

~EventFlags ( )

EventFlags destructor.

Note: You cannot call this function from ISR context.

Member Function Documentation

uint32_t clear ( uint32_t flags = 0x7fffffff )

Clear the specified event flags.

Parameters

flags the flags that will be cleared (default: 0x7fffffff – all flags).

Returns: event flags before clearing or error code if highest bit set (see osFlagsError for details).

Note: You may call this function from ISR context.

uint32_t get ( ) const

Get the currently set event flags.

Returns: current event flags.

Note: You may call this function from ISR context.

uint32_t set ( uint32_t flags )

Set the specified event flags.

Parameters

flags the flags that will be set.

Returns: event flags after setting or error code if highest bit set (see osFlagsError for details).

Note: This function may be called from ISR context.

uint32_t wait_all	(	uint32_t	flags = `0`,
		uint32_t	millisec = `osWaitForever`,
		bool	clear = `true`
	)

Wait for all of the specified event flags to become signaled.

Parameters

flags	the flags to wait for (default: 0 – no flags).
millisec	timeout value (default: osWaitForever).
clear	clear specified event flags after waiting for them (default: true).

Returns: event flags before clearing or error code if highest bit set (see osFlagsError for details).

Note: You may call this function from ISR context if the millisec parameter is set to 0.

uint32_t wait_any	(	uint32_t	flags = `0`,
		uint32_t	millisec = `osWaitForever`,
		bool	clear = `true`
	)

Wait for any of the specified event flags to become signaled.

Parameters

flags	the flags to wait for (default: 0 – no flags).
millisec	timeout value (default: osWaitForever).
clear	clear specified event flags after waiting for them (default: true).

Returns: event flags before clearing or error code if highest bit set (see osFlagsError for details).

Note: This function may be called from ISR context if the millisec parameter is set to 0.
