Hi, I have looked at mutex.c and thread.c and I've understood that a thread with higher priority (it has priority) will unlock the mutex even if thread with lower priority has not finished/unlock the mutex? Am I right? Now, in my case, I use UART with ethos (which use a mutex) and what happens on my case is: * I have thread A (high priority), thread B (low priority) * B starts to write on UART an long str * A wants to write on UART an lock the mutex (ethos) but because it has higher priority, it sends its message over UART until end of str * B can continue and finish to send its str
So I'm wondering why a thread with higher priority should be able to unlock a mutex locked by a thread with lower priorty? Cheers -- Baptiste _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@riot-os.org https://lists.riot-os.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
