Hi all,
The tasker code in examples, is function but very basic. Oleg's SOS is
rather more functional, but doesn't really address the needs of an
MSP430 user - it does nothing about power management. I spent some idle
moments today trying to formulate what an MSP430 kernel should really be
like. It certainly needs to sit in a lower state as much as possible.
That means it needs to be very event oriented. The manner in which it
sleeps when there are no active events also needs to be controllable, to
maintain appropriate response times. I'm wondering how well automatic
control over going into LPM0 or LPM3 would work. It could be adapted
according to the delay until the next timed event, but it couldn't take
account of external interrupts. Has anyone else been thinking along
these lines?
By the way. I'm puzzled by the conditions for using Oleg's SOS code. The
files say:
* You may use, embed, modify or distribute the contents
* of the file(s) in any way you see fit as long as you
* include this copyright notice in the resulting file(s).
*
* Any commercial or industrial use including publishing
* or distributing in any form requires the written
* authorization of the copyright holder(s).
These two paragraphs are contradictory. Can I do as I see fit with it,
or not?
Regards,
Steve
