Detailed Description

Macro Definition Documentation

K_EVENT_DEFINE

#define K_EVENT_DEFINE

(

name

)

#include <include/zephyr/kernel.h>

Value:

        STRUCT_SECTION_ITERABLE(k_event, name) =               \
                Z_EVENT_INITIALIZER(name);

Statically define and initialize an event object.

The event can be accessed outside the module where it is defined using:

extern struct k_event <name>; 

Parameters

name	Name of the event object.

Function Documentation

k_event_clear()

uint32_t k_event_clear	(	struct k_event *	event,
		uint32_t	events
	)

#include <include/zephyr/kernel.h>

Clear the events in an event object.

This routine clears (resets) the specified events stored in an event object.

Parameters

event	Address of the event object
events	Set of events to clear in event

Return values

Previous

value of the events in event

k_event_init()

void k_event_init

(

struct k_event *

event

)

#include <include/zephyr/kernel.h>

Initialize an event object.

This routine initializes an event object, prior to its first use.

Parameters

event

Address of the event object.

k_event_post()

uint32_t k_event_post	(	struct k_event *	event,
		uint32_t	events
	)

#include <include/zephyr/kernel.h>

Post one or more events to an event object.

This routine posts one or more events to an event object. All tasks waiting on the event object event whose waiting conditions become met by this posting immediately unpend.

Posting differs from setting in that posted events are merged together with the current set of events tracked by the event object.

Parameters

event	Address of the event object
events	Set of events to post to event

Return values

Previous

value of the events in event

k_event_set()

uint32_t k_event_set	(	struct k_event *	event,
		uint32_t	events
	)

#include <include/zephyr/kernel.h>

Set the events in an event object.

This routine sets the events stored in event object to the specified value. All tasks waiting on the event object event whose waiting conditions become met by this immediately unpend.

Setting differs from posting in that set events replace the current set of events tracked by the event object.

Parameters

event	Address of the event object
events	Set of events to set in event

Return values

Previous

value of the events in event

k_event_set_masked()

uint32_t k_event_set_masked	(	struct k_event *	event,
		uint32_t	events,
		uint32_t	events_mask
	)

#include <include/zephyr/kernel.h>

Set or clear the events in an event object.

This routine sets the events stored in event object to the specified value. All tasks waiting on the event object event whose waiting conditions become met by this immediately unpend. Unlike k_event_set, this routine allows specific event bits to be set and cleared as determined by the mask.

Parameters

event	Address of the event object
events	Set of events to set/clear in event
events_mask	Mask to be applied to events

Return values

Previous

value of the events in events_mask

k_event_test()

static uint32_t k_event_test ( struct k_event *  event, uint32_t  events_mask  )

inlinestatic

#include <include/zephyr/kernel.h>

Test the events currently tracked in the event object.

Parameters

event	Address of the event object
events_mask	Set of desired events to test

Return values

Current

value of events in events_mask

k_event_wait()

uint32_t k_event_wait	(	struct k_event *	event,
		uint32_t	events,
		bool	reset,
		k_timeout_t	timeout
	)

#include <include/zephyr/kernel.h>

Wait for any of the specified events.

This routine waits on event object event until any of the specified events have been delivered to the event object, or the maximum wait time timeout has expired. A thread may wait on up to 32 distinctly numbered events that are expressed as bits in a single 32-bit word.

Note

The caller must be careful when resetting if there are multiple threads waiting for the event object event.

Parameters

event	Address of the event object
events	Set of desired events on which to wait
reset	If true, clear the set of events tracked by the event object before waiting. If false, do not clear the events.
timeout	Waiting period for the desired set of events or one of the special values K_NO_WAIT and K_FOREVER.

Return values

set	of matching events upon success
0	if matching events were not received within the specified time

k_event_wait_all()

uint32_t k_event_wait_all	(	struct k_event *	event,
		uint32_t	events,
		bool	reset,
		k_timeout_t	timeout
	)

#include <include/zephyr/kernel.h>

Wait for all of the specified events.

This routine waits on event object event until all of the specified events have been delivered to the event object, or the maximum wait time timeout has expired. A thread may wait on up to 32 distinctly numbered events that are expressed as bits in a single 32-bit word.

Note

The caller must be careful when resetting if there are multiple threads waiting for the event object event.

Parameters

event	Address of the event object
events	Set of desired events on which to wait
reset	If true, clear the set of events tracked by the event object before waiting. If false, do not clear the events.
timeout	Waiting period for the desired set of events or one of the special values K_NO_WAIT and K_FOREVER.

Return values

set	of matching events upon success
0	if matching events were not received within the specified time
