TNeoKernel default configuration file, to be copied as tn_cfg.h.
This project is intended to be built as a library, separately from main project (although nothing prevents you from bundling things together, if you want to).
There are various options available which affects API and behavior of the kernel. But these options are specific for particular project, and aren't related to the kernel itself, so we need to keep them separately.
To this end, file tn.h (the main kernel header file) includes tn_cfg.h, which isn't included in the repository (even more, it is added to .hgignore list actually). Instead, default configuration file tn_cfg_default.h is provided, and when you just cloned the repository, you might want to copy it as tn_cfg.h. Or even better, if your filesystem supports symbolic links, copy it somewhere to your main project's directory (so that you can add it to your VCS there), and create symlink to it named tn_cfg.h in the TNeoKernel source directory, like this:
$ cd /path/to/tneokernel/src $ cp ./tn_cfg_default.h /path/to/main/project/lib_cfg/tn_cfg.h $ ln -s /path/to/main/project/lib_cfg/tn_cfg.h ./tn_cfg.h
Default configuration file contains detailed comments, so you can read them and configure behavior as you like.

| #define TN_PRIORITIES_CNT TN_PRIORITIES_MAX_CNT |
Number of priorities that can be used by application, plus one for idle task (which has the lowest priority).
This value can't be higher than architecture-dependent value TN_PRIORITIES_MAX_CNT, which typically equals to width of int type. So, for 32-bit systems, max number of priorities is 32.
But usually, application needs much less: I can imagine at most 4-5 different priorities, plus one for the idle task.
Do note also that each possible priority level takes RAM: two pointers for linked list and one short for time slice value, so on 32-bit system it takes 10 bytes. So, with default value of 32 priorities available, it takes 320 bytes. If you set it, say, to 5, you save 270 bytes, which might be notable.
Default: TN_PRIORITIES_MAX_CNT.

| #define TN_CHECK_PARAM 1 |
Enables additional param checking for most of the system functions.
It's surely useful for debug, but probably better to remove in release. If it is set, most of the system functions are able to return two additional codes:
TN_RC_WPARAM if wrong params were given;TN_RC_INVALID_OBJ if given pointer doesn't point to a valid object. Object validity is checked by means of the special ID field of type enum TN_ObjId.enum TN_ObjId Definition at line 111 of file tn_cfg_default.h.
| #define TN_DEBUG 0 |
Allows additional internal self-checking, useful to catch internal TNeoKernel bugs as well as illegal kernel usage (e.g.
sleeping in the idle task callback). Produces a couple of extra instructions which usually just causes debugger to stop if something goes wrong.
Definition at line 121 of file tn_cfg_default.h.
| #define TN_OLD_TNKERNEL_NAMES 1 |
Whether old TNKernel names (definitions, functions, etc) should be available.
If you're porting your existing application written for TNKernel, it is definitely worth enabling. If you start new project with TNeoKernel from scratch, it's better to avoid old names.
Definition at line 131 of file tn_cfg_default.h.
| #define TN_MUTEX_DEADLOCK_DETECT 1 |
Whether RTOS should detect deadlocks and notify user about them via callback.
tn_callback_deadlock_set() Definition at line 155 of file tn_cfg_default.h.
| #define TN_TICK_LISTS_CNT 8 |
Number of "tick" lists of timers, must be a power or two; minimum value: 2; typical values: 4, 8 or 16.
Refer to the Implementation of timers for details.
Shortly: this value represents number of elements in the array of struct TN_ListItem, on 32-bit system each element takes 8 bytes.
The larger value, the more memory is needed, and the faster system timer ISR works. If your application has a lot of timers and/or sleeping tasks, consider incrementing this value; otherwise, default value should work for you.

| #define TN_API_MAKE_ALIG_ARG TN_API_MAKE_ALIG_ARG__SIZE |
API option for MAKE_ALIG() macro.
There is a terrible mess with MAKE_ALIG() macro: original TNKernel docs specify that the argument of it should be the size to align, but almost all ports, including "original" one, defined it so that it takes type, not size.
But the port by AlexB implemented it differently (i.e. accordingly to the docs)
When I was moving from the port by AlexB to another one, do you have any idea how much time it took me to figure out why do I have rare weird bug? :)
So, available options:
TN_API_MAKE_ALIG_ARG__TYPE: In this case, you should use macro like this: TN_MAKE_ALIG(struct my_struct) This way is used in the majority of TNKernel ports. (actually, in all ports except the one by AlexB)TN_API_MAKE_ALIG_ARG__SIZE: In this case, you should use macro like this: TN_MAKE_ALIG(sizeof(struct my_struct)) This way is stated in TNKernel docs and used in the port for dsPIC/PIC24/PIC32 by AlexB. Definition at line 205 of file tn_cfg_default.h.
| #define TN_P24_SYS_IPL 4 |
Maximum system interrupt priority.
For details on system interrupts on PIC24/dsPIC, refer to the section PIC24/dsPIC interrupts.
TN_P24_SYS_IPL_STR to appropriate value.Should be >= 1 and <= 6. Default: 4.
Definition at line 248 of file tn_cfg_default.h.
| #define TN_P24_SYS_IPL_STR "4" |
The same as TN_P24_SYS_IPL but should be set as string, for example:
It is used in assembly for ISR macro tn_p24_soft_isr(). I don't like that we have to keep two macros instead of just one, so if anybody knows how to use integer value there, please let me know :)
