Kernel Function Descriptions

The sample below is just an example of what you might submit for a few kernel functions. Your description may vary depending on your design. Make the description detailed enough to be very useful when you start writing code but you can still be general. You do not need to explain what every line of C code will eventually be doing.


void YKEnterISR(void)
{
    /* Increment interrupt nesting level global variable */
}

void YKExitISR(void)
{
    /* Decrement interrupt nest level global variable */
    
    /* If nesting level is 0, call scheduler */
}

void YKRun(void)
{
    /* Set global flag to indicate kernel started */
    
    /* Call scheduler */
}

void YKIdleTask(void)
{ 
    while (1)
    {
        /* Increment idle count (within mutex!) */
    }
}
