Topic: Multithreading correct settings

Hi,
I`m tried the mqtt simple and it work flawlessly. Now i like to try the multithreading approach in the examples folder for a freertos setup.
When unlocking this feature got those APIs.

    /* Posix (Linux/Mac) */
    #include <pthread.h>
    #include <sched.h>
    #include <errno.h>
    typedef pthread_t THREAD_T;
    #define THREAD_CREATE(h, f, c) ({ int ret = pthread_create(h, NULL, f, c); if (ret) { errno = ret; } ret; })
    #define THREAD_JOIN(h, c)      ({ int ret, x; for(x=0;x<c;x++) { ret = pthread_join(h[x], NULL); if (ret) { errno = ret; break; }} ret; })
    #define THREAD_EXIT(e)         pthread_exit((void*)e)

but there for Linux. Do i have to overwrite those and place them somewhere? For instance Semaphores are defined and unlocked in "mqtt_client.c".

Thanks in advance

Hi MO380,

FreeRTOS should work with the POSIX interface:
https://freertos.org/Documentation/03-L … 04-pthread

If you want to use the native API, you would need to set up those macros.

Thanks,

Hi embhorn,

i'm using the freertos library added by STM32CubeMx, haven't seen any pthread related stuff there. So have to implement them. I guess THREAD_CREATE & THREAD_EXIT shouldn't be a problem, but what about THREAD_JOIN. Could i implement it by using following

vTaskGetInfo( tcpclientHandle, &xTaskDetails,eInvalid );
if(xTaskDetails.eCurrentState == eDeleted) {...}

Just wait until thread has exited.

Thanks in advance

For the STM32, you should check out our STM32IDE CubePack for wolfMQTT:
