StreamBufferHandle_t xStreamBufferCreateStatic(
size_t xBufferSizeBytes,
size_t xTriggerLevelBytes,
uint8_t *pucStreamBufferStorageArea,
StaticStreamBuffer_t *pxStaticStreamBuffer );
Creates a new stream buffer using statically allocated memory. See xStreamBufferCreate() for a version that uses dynamically allocated memory.
configSUPPORT_STATIC_ALLOCATION must be set to 1 in FreeRTOSConfig.h for xStreamBufferCreateStatic() to be available.
Stream buffer functionality is enabled by including the FreeRTOS/source/stream_buffer.c source file in the build.
| xBufferSizeBytes | The size, in bytes, of the buffer pointed to by the pucStreamBufferStorageArea parameter. |
| xTriggerLevelBytes | The number of bytes that must be in the stream buffer before a task that is blocked on the stream buffer to wait for data is moved out of the blocked state. For example, if a task is blocked on a read of an empty stream buffer that has a trigger level of 1 then the task will be unblocked when a single byte is written to the buffer or the task's block time expires. As another example, if a task is blocked on a read of an empty stream buffer that has a trigger level of 10 then the task will not be unblocked until the stream buffer contains at least 10 bytes or the task's block time expires. If a reading task's block time expires before the trigger level is reached then the task will still receive however many bytes are actually available. Setting a trigger level of 0 will result in a trigger level of 1 being used. It is not valid to specify a trigger level that is greater than the buffer size. |
| pucStreamBufferStorageArea | Must point to a uint8_t array that is at least xBufferSizeBytes + 1 big. This is the array to which streams are copied when they are written to the stream buffer. |
| pxStaticStreamBuffer | Must point to a variable of type StaticStreamBuffer_t, which will be used to hold the stream buffer's data structure. |
Example usage:
/* Used to dimension the array used to hold the streams. The available space
will actually be one less than this, so 999. */
#define STORAGE_SIZE_BYTES 1000
/* Defines the memory that will actually hold the streams within the stream
buffer. */
static uint8_t ucBufferStorage[ STORAGE_SIZE_BYTES ];
/* The variable used to hold the stream buffer structure. */
StaticStreamBuffer_t xStreamBufferStruct;
void MyFunction( void )
{
StreamBufferHandle_t xStreamBuffer;
const size_t xTriggerLevel = 1;
xStreamBuffer = xStreamBufferCreateStatic( sizeof( ucBufferStorage ),
xTriggerLevel,
ucBufferStorage,
&xStreamBufferStruct );
/* As neither the pucStreamBufferStorageArea or pxStaticStreamBuffer
parameters were NULL, xStreamBuffer will not be NULL, and can be used to
reference the created stream buffer in other stream buffer API calls. */
/* Other code that uses the stream buffer can go here. */
