Annex context_switch Function Pointer¶
This function pointer is part of the swc_hal_t structure. It contains Wireless Core function pointers required to interact with microcontroller peripherals.
void (*context_switch)(void); /*!< Context switch function pointer */
context_switch¶
The context switch is a software interrupt trigger to force the CPU to get into the interrupt handler. The EVK1.4 platform uses an ARM Cortex MCU which has a built-in interrupt-driven request for system-level service called PendSV.
For a priority list example, see the Annex EVK1.4 MCU Priority List
In the SDK, this is implemented by this EVK1.4 BSP function:
-
void evk_radio_callback_context_switch(void)¶
Induce a context switch to the pendSV ISR.
Tip
It is possible to handle this context switch with the use of an RTOS.
