CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_SEMAPHORES

#define CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_SEMAPHORES

This configuration option is an integer define.

The value of this configuration option defines the maximum number of Classic API Semaphore that can be concurrently active.

Default Value

The default value is 0.

Notes

This object class can be configured in unlimited allocation mode, see Unlimited Objects.

In SMP configurations, the size of a Semaphore Control Block depends on the scheduler count (see Configuration Step 3 - Scheduler Table). The semaphores using the Multiprocessor Resource Sharing Protocol (MrsP) need a ceiling priority per scheduler.

CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_TASKS

#define CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_TASKS

This configuration option is an integer define.

The value of this configuration option defines the maximum number of Classic API Tasks that can be concurrently active.

Default Value

The default value is 0.

• The value of the configuration option shall be less than or equal to 65535.
• The value of the configuration option shall be less than or equal to a BSP-specific and application-specific value which depends on the size of the memory available to the application.
• The value of the configuration option shall be small enough so that the task stack space calculation carried out by <rtems/confdefs.h> does not overflow an integer of type uintptr_t.
• The value of the configuration option may be defined through rtems_resource_unlimited() the enable unlimited objects for the object class, if the value passed to rtems_resource_unlimited() satisfies all other constraints of the configuration option.

Notes

This object class can be configured in unlimited allocation mode, see Unlimited Objects.

The calculations for the required memory in the RTEMS Workspace for tasks assume that each task has a minimum stack size and has floating point support enabled. The configuration option CONFIGURE_EXTRA_TASK_STACKS is used to specify task stack requirements above the minimum size required.

The maximum number of POSIX threads is specified by CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_POSIX_THREADS.

A future enhancement to <rtems/confdefs.h> could be to eliminate the assumption that all tasks have floating point enabled. This would require the addition of a new configuration parameter to specify the number of tasks which enable floating point support.

CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_TIMERS

#define CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_TIMERS

This configuration option is an integer define.

The value of this configuration option defines the maximum number of Classic API Timers that can be concurrently active.

Default Value

The default value is 0.

Constraints

The following constraints apply to this configuration option:

• The value of the configuration option shall be greater than or equal to zero.
• The value of the configuration option shall be less than or equal to 65535.
• The value of the configuration option shall be less than or equal to a BSP-specific and application-specific value which depends on the size of the memory available to the application.
• The value of the configuration option may be defined through rtems_resource_unlimited() the enable unlimited objects for the object class, if the value passed to rtems_resource_unlimited() satisfies all other constraints of the configuration option.

Notes

This object class can be configured in unlimited allocation mode, see Unlimited Objects.

CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_USER_EXTENSIONS

#define CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_USER_EXTENSIONS

This configuration option is an integer define.

The value of this configuration option defines the maximum number of Classic API User Extensions that can be concurrently active.

Default Value

The default value is 0.

Constraints

The following constraints apply to this configuration option:

• The value of the configuration option shall be greater than or equal to zero.
• The value of the configuration option shall be less than or equal to 65535.
• The value of the configuration option shall be less than or equal to a BSP-specific and application-specific value which depends on the size of the memory available to the application.

Notes

This object class cannot be configured in unlimited allocation mode.

CONFIGURE_MINIMUM_TASKS_WITH_USER_PROVIDED_STORAGE

#define CONFIGURE_MINIMUM_TASKS_WITH_USER_PROVIDED_STORAGE

This configuration option is an integer define.

The value of this configuration option defines the minimum count of Classic API Tasks which are constructed by rtems_task_construct().

Default Value

The default value is 0.

Constraints

The following constraints apply to this configuration option:

• The value of the configuration option shall be greater than or equal to zero.
• The value of the configuration option shall be less than or equal to CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_TASKS.

Notes

By default, the calculation for the required memory in the RTEMS Workspace for tasks assumes that all Classic API Tasks are created by rtems_task_create(). This configuration option can be used to reduce the required memory for the system-provided task storage areas since tasks constructed by rtems_task_construct() use a user-provided task storage area.
